He grabbed the defensive rebound and launched a counterattack. This is the style of play developed by Lithuanian center Sabonis after losing his athletic ability due to a leg injury. It is quite powerful.

It also recommends that all the centers of teams that can play counterattack practice this, but few people at the center position have the ability to learn the pass IQ. Those who have the conditions to learn it, but are unwilling to do this troublesome long pass training.

Because you may not necessarily get assists, if you pass it out, just launch an attack. Players need to make a decision whether to pass or shoot, or they may also be transported to the basket to score after receiving the ball. If you drive two extra steps, there will be no assists. In the world of sports competition, you do not necessarily get assists, and the focus of fans' attention is the one who scores... Data means that you may get a bigger contract. Fans' attention represents popularity. There is no benefit, so naturally no one will learn it.

Zhang Hao has sent many such passes, and there are more this season, but Kidd, a point guard, has become the best player in the league today!

After completing the counterattack fast attack, the center and point guard stayed in the backcourt again. This is a powerful means for the Suns to always pull their opponents into positions to fight the offense.

The Supersonics fell into positional attack, which was Zhang Hao's singles and Kassel's auxiliary attack.

Zhang Hao encountered another defensive player like Clifford Robinson who he was not very good at dealing with.

Some players are very special, the older they get, the more demons they become. Clifford Robinson is this type of player. After the age of 30, he is more and more outstanding in defense. In the first game month of the season, he is the second most effective player in power forward position, higher than Duncan and Zhang Hao, second only to Garnett.

After playing for several rounds, Zhang Hao's single-scoring ball was not effective. He only made 1 of 3 shots, but he still relied on Kassel's two close-range back scores to support the score.

The Suns are the strongest offensive team in the league this season. Although it is troublesome to deal with the Supersonics defense, Kidd controls the overall situation and covers Clifford Robinson, whose shooting area covers outside the three-point line, is also very good in support, as well as Anthony Hardaway. The Suns' team's offense is very good.

The first quarter ended at 6 minutes and 44 seconds. The Supersonics team called the timeout first, 9 to 13. The Supersonics coaching staff and players understood this situation and encountered an opponent that they could not deal with.

But the spirit of never giving up has gradually been engraved from Zhang Hao into the basketball view of every player of this team.

The Supersonics made adjustments to their playing style, Ben Wallace and Jason Williams came on, Zhang Hao went to the small forward position, and Cassel and Dell Curry partnered in the backcourt.

During the half-quarter game, the Supersonics clarified their advantages in rebounding. Ratliff grabbed two offensive rebounds in the half-quarter. Unfortunately, his passing speed and re-start speed after he grabbed the offensive rebound were both broken, and were destroyed by Kidd, who was taken back. Although it could not be converted into a second offensive score, it at least restricted the Suns' fast attack, otherwise the difference might be even larger.

In this case, Doug Collins made decisive adjustments to try to expand his offensive rebounding advantages.

The Supersonics' style of playing has indeed achieved the results they want. In the 5 minutes and 16 seconds after the first quarter, the Supersonics scored 15 points, which was very excellent scoring efficiency.

However, the Supersonics shot three players from the outside, and both insides rushed to attack offensive rebounds, which means that once the Suns could not grab it, it would be more difficult for the Suns to counterattack the Supersonics to defend.

With Hu Weidong, who came on as a substitute at the end of the first quarter, scored two points with Clifford Robinson's quick attack, scoring, the Supersonics led the Supersonics 30-24 and entered the break with 6 points!

Kidd played in the first quarter. Anthony Hardaway, who usually played in just over 30 minutes in a game, also played 10 minutes in the first quarter. Both of them were eager to defeat Zhang Hao.

Now Zhang Hao has no good teammates, but Zhang Hao has shown stronger strength than when he was 20-21 years old. Seattle is a wealthy big city. It will be a matter of time before there will be stars around Zhang Hao in the future.

Therefore, Kidd and Anfini Hardaway are definitely not willing to miss the opportunity to play with the team that can beat Zhang Hao.

After entering the break, Kidd and head coach Scott Skeles discussed how to better expand their advantages in the second quarter.

On the other side, Supersonics players are now unwilling to give up any beliefs.

Apart from not giving up, they had no good ways. Their adjustments in the first quarter were excellent, but the opponent scored 11 points in a single quarter by counterattacking.

The Suns' positional battle is also very fierce. If it is the season opening game against the Suns, the Suns may have more trouble on the offensive end, but it has been playing for a month. The Supersonics' defensive data have already had enough samples for the Suns to study.

But patience, persistence, and not giving up. These advantages are the Supersonic players. They choose to continue fighting. What if the chance comes?

The Supersonics players were mentally prepared for not being able to beat those top teams. Their initial expectations were not to achieve such a good record. They were not stupid. They could feel the gap between their own teams and top teams, and they were not blind. They could see the evaluations of those experts with pertinent comments.

Zhang Hao hesitated for a moment, made a decision, and took out something from the bag under the seat.

Originally, he also thought that if he could beat him, he would be able to beat him. If he couldn't beat him, he would do his best. He also thought so when he played against the Jazz and Pacers before.

You must accept that you cannot beat your opponent in order to stabilize your emotions, because with their strength, there are more games you may lose in the future. This is the psychological preparation that Zhang Hao made before the start of the season.

But he only scored 6 points in the first quarter, which was fine. He had 3 rebounds, which was very good, but he only had 1 assist!

He encountered a very strict defense in the first quarter, but the more stringent one was his pass. The Suns would rather give Cassel a better singles chance, and would rather give Ben Wallace and Jason Williams a better chance to rush, than Zhang Hao would reliably drive the SuperSonics offense by scoring and passing.

The Suns cannot defend like those top defensive teams, but this kind of trick is done quite well.

The core reason for this is the problem of the overall offensive ability of the Supersonics. In addition to Zhang Hao and Kassel, Artest is the one with the strongest breakthrough ability.

Dell Curry is at this age and is basically a pure running pitcher. He has strong pressure resistance and excellent stability after the confrontation. However, it is difficult to make a shot with defense. In order to ensure speed, Dell Curry has lost a lot of weight. He is no longer the explosive physical man who can dunk with his opponent a few years ago, nor is he athletic genius who was pursuing the three major professional leagues of rugby, baseball and basketball after graduating from college.

But this is not the reason why Zhang Hao made an urgent decision...

"Jason Kidd holds stars in his hand, controls the situation, and becomes the best organizational guard in the league today, and quarterback passes have become its iconic technology... Jason Kidd's exclusive mission: genius triggers.

Ghost:

Goal: Under the guidance of the host, Zhang Hao's assists in this game must be higher than Jason Kidd.

Reward: Designated Medal: Quarterback Silver Upgrade Card Fragment*1.

Note: Medal: After the quarterback reaches the silver level, the matching training card acquisition task will be triggered."

Zhang Hao was also very good at counterattacking after grabbing the rebound, but he mainly relied on his personal counterattack awareness and physical fitness. He still had no ability to instigate the entire team like Sabonis and Kidd.

Zhang Hao wants this medal to be upgraded, and he also wants the training card.

"The host uses Michael Jordan's 1986-1987 star experience card, the object of use: special signing player Zhang Hao, which consumes a lifespan of 120 days. The host can direct Zhang Hao to use advanced usage..."

Zhang Hao put on a bald wig cover and moved very skillfully. In a few seconds, he turned into a bald head.

A specially customized wig cover looks unconciliatory.

At this time, the body shape prompts came.

"Advanced usage has been enabled. The temporary ability evaluation of special signing player Zhang Hao: 105..."

Jason Williams was the first to notice that Zhang Hao had turned bald and went up to ask, "Aix, why did you put this on again?"

"I want to make my thinking clearer, and my hair hindered my thinking."

"But won't this make your head more stuffy?"

"You know a lot!"

Zhang Hao gave Jia Jitou a blank look and walked towards the coaching staff.

The silver fox saw a bald head walking towards their coaching staff who were discussing response, and was shocked, but immediately remembered, "Hey, I'm no longer the head coach!"

The rest of the coaching staff also sensed the danger. When they turned around, they saw a stone Buddha walking towards them...

...

Once upon a time, Doug Collins had a premonition that one day he would not be able to control the tactical board, which would slide around at his fingertips.

But it shouldn't be so early. Anyway, the person he thought was dangerous was not a student of his younger brother, but a more domineering person.

But after my younger brother's student suddenly turned bald, the feeling came...

After returning from the break between the festival, the Supersonics sent a combination of Kassel, Dell Curry, Schramf, Jason Williams and Zhang Hao.

The Suns sent a combination of Kidd, Hu Weidong, Todd Daye, Gugliotta and Luke Longley.

Some people on the court were very uncomfortable when they saw Zhang Hao becoming bald, but Luke Longley from the Suns was quite afraid of Zhang Hao's appearance, while Jason Williams from the Supersonics was particularly excited.

In the finals seventh game in 1997, Zhang Hao was so angry!

The Suns sent Luke Longley to let Gugliotta continue playing and prepare to take the three-man rotation. This represents the Suns' attention, otherwise they will be able to line up Oliver Miller.

Oliver Miller's role in the Suns is to give the three insiders more rest time.

The Suns attack first.

Kassel defends Kidd, and Dell Curry is watching the Suns' Todd Dayer with his mobile ability. This 192nd No. 8 pick, 198 cm tall, has a good height and weighs only 85 kilograms, but his shooting skills are accurate. At its peak, he averages 2 three-pointers with a 42.6% three-pointer shooting rate. So far this season, he averages 1.6 three-pointers with a 41.1% three-pointer shooting rate.

After Kidd advanced over halftime, he handed the ball to Hu Weidong. Hu Weidong faced Schramf's defense and decisively chose to break through. He attracted Zhang Hao to make up for defense in one step within the free throw line. Hu Weidong passed the ball Gugliotta, and Gugliotta made a close jump shot from the left side of the three-second zone!

The Supersonics lineup is even more unpredictable, and the Suns are very strong in offense.

But this was expected by the Supersonics.

Kassel, Dell Curry, and Schramph all think that this rotation is not good and the tactical changes are not good, but they are already like this, so let's execute it well.

When the Supersonics attacked, Kassel advanced over halftime and handed the ball to Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao controlled the ball in the top arc, and immediately broke through after Kassel moved!

Todd Dayer chose to defend his defensive method to keep Zhang Hao attentive to jump shots. Zhang Hao left Todd Dayer behind with just one acceleration.

Todd Dayer couldn't defend Zhang Hao from breaking through. The Suns had already talked about it. The defensive formation began to rotate, and the attack was slowed down...

Zhang Hao took a step inside the free throw line, Kidd and Gugliotta had no time to make up for defense in the middle and close range, Zhang Hao took a step inside the free throw line, and without Luke Longley and Jason Williams at the basket pressing on their heads and smashing the ball into the basket with a "clang"!

The jump is fast, the bounce is fast, the dunk is fast, the dunk is clean and crisp, and it is fast and powerful. After landing, Zhang Hao immediately turned around and retreated without any delay.

Not to mention most of the Suns players, the players on the Supersonics did not expect it.

"Give the ball to Aix, Aix breaks through, and others find their own position to catch the ball and shoot." This tactical arrangement, Kassel, Schramf, and Dell Curry, who were on the Supersonics, all felt that it was not good. They didn't think that Zhang Hao's strength was not good, but based on the situation in the first quarter, the Suns defended Zhang Hao too well.

But after returning from this break during the holiday, Zhang Hao really made a breakthrough that the opponent could not defend!

Seeing Jason Williams chasing Zhang Hao who was retreating to defend, the other three teammates reacted and quickly retreated.

What's wrong with the Suns? Judging from their defense in the first quarter, they can defend Zhang Hao by combining multiple players. As for the Supersonics team to send this offensive lineup, there is no problem. Just limit Zhang Hao. Others like to shoot from a long time to enter. The Suns team face the opposite lineup, and the offense is definitely better than the Supersonics team.

But Zhang Hao came back from rest during the holidays and made his breakthrough even more fiercely! They couldn't react!

Kidd, Luke Longli, Gugliotta, no matter what their current strength, are players with good defensive awareness and sufficient experience... They obviously realize that their defensive strategies cannot be defended!

Luke Longley said to Kidd when serving: "Be careful of a gentleman, he is such a superstar who can explode at any time."

The three major defensive masters on the Suns' field are not wrong. Next, if they deal with Zhang Hao according to the tactical plan, they really can't defend themselves!

However, the Suns players did not relax because of the considerable strength advantage shown in the first quarter. They reacted as soon as Zhang Hao broke out and attacked more focusedly.

Hu Weidong cut sharply, counterattacked quickly, and had excellent singles. He was at his peak, had first-class mid-level offense and excellent wing shooting.

Gugliota has a correct mid-range shot, excellent footprint in the face frame, and excellent back-to-body support at high positions.
