542. The king of NBA lore! (8000 words(1/2)
Another No. 1 pick is bullied by the team led by Zhang Hao...
Zhang Hao once again made people feel that he attached great importance to talented high-ranking rookies.
From a certain perspective, this can be regarded as Yao Ming's talent and strength have been "professionally recognized".
Many former high-ranking rookies are very concerned about Zhang Hao and Yao Ming's first regular season match.
Seeing what Yao Ming had happened, everyone nodded with satisfaction.
The gentleman is indeed fair!
The Supersonics limits their opponents' scores to around 95 points. Although this time it is not entirely up to Ben Wallace, it can also prove the stability of the Supersonics.
The issues that have been affecting them this season have been exposed once again without a stable second offensive starting point.
Both China's top insiders have the biggest difference between Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi. Wang Zhizhi can serve as the starting point of the offensive, but Yao Ming cannot.
Hamilton has no offensive ability, Tyron Lue and Chris Whitney are just ordinary high-quality substitutes...
Fox Sports' commentator Dominic Wilkins pointed out two ways to the Wizards
"The Wizards can introduce a second outside ball-holding attack starting point, but this bad choice will affect Hughes's growth, and the Wizards have no room for it.
The second method is to continue like this. When Hughes, Yao and Hamilton progress to the All-Star level, the problem will be solved by itself."
The Wizards are still favored, and the three core ages are 22 years old, 23 years old, and 24 years old. They are the biggest capital.
...
‘A 9-day life span is obtained, and the Giant Killer’s fragments are obtained. After playing against the Clippers tomorrow, it should be 20-day life span? The 10-game winning streak starts with 2 times the life span of winning streaks.’
The morning after the game against the Wizards, the Supersonics arrived in Los Angeles.
Zhang Hao looked at the Clippers' scout report... 'Is Baylor so unlucky? And this operation is so charming!'
Zhang Hao didn't notice the Clippers before, but now he looks at the Clippers' offseason operation and looks at the situation of the Clippers in the new season. He wants to applaud the wonderful drama of the Clippers.
During the offseason, the Clippers let Jeff McGinnis, the biggest outside teammate who helped Francis last season, go away.
Jeff McInnis' salary last season was $530,000. After the free market opened, the Trail Blazers provided him with a three-year contract of $9.9 million. The Clippers were unwilling to give the same salary.
The reason is, in order to save money, Francis reached a six-year, $88 million contract renewal with the Clippers in the summer. The money given to the role players is not well controlled, and it is possible to pay taxes in the 2003-04 season.
If taxes are paid, Nabele will probably be fired.
It is fine to save money first.
But after refusing to match Jeff McGinnis's starting salary of 3 million yuan, the Clippers' contract of $6.99 million was renewed with Olovo Kandi.
But after the free market opened, Olovokandi only received a quotation of $10.5 million for three years.
The picture is very beautiful. The Clippers can use the parent team renewal terms to match the quotes given by other teams, but choose to renew the contract first, but they did not estimate the correct value of Olovokandi. Olovokandi's agent has made a good judgment on the correct value.
The whole operation was smooth, as if it was to avoid renewing the contract with Jeff McGinnis and save money for the No. 1 pick.
Dalius Myers, a 200-class sports power forward, finally improved a little in the second grade, was sent away because Boozer, who was selected in the second round, played well in the summer league. Before entering the NBA, he looked better than Dalius Myers, who averaged 9 points and 4 rebounds last season.
Then, Alvin Gentry looked at Francis who needed a sports teammate, and surrounded a group of positions and offensive teammates, and his mentality broke down.
That's fine, Francis can play positional battles, but Olovo Kandi, who has a high-month contract renewal, has been seriously injured in the preseason and needs to be missed for 12 to 16 weeks.
The Clippers made it to the playoffs last season. This season, they started with 1 win and 8 losses, and were shoulder to shoulder with the Grizzlies, who just ended their eight-game losing streak.
Frances started 9 games this season with three triple-doubles, and made a big stride towards the road of "Mi Ni Ritian", averaging 42 minutes per game, scoring 19.6 points, 8.3 rebounds and 9.1 assists, but apart from data, there is nothing to say.
Zhang Hao caught the Clippers' scout report and read it, and found that there was nothing worth studying at all, so he would just go on the court and play the game.
If you fight such an opponent, you will be much better at trying to get your own advantages than targeting the opponent.
...
On November 16, the Supersonics massacred the Clippers 115-90 away.
In response to the media's call, Zhang Hao played for 28 minutes, scored 19 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, and won the second triple-double of the season.
Francis scored 15 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists, and the assists reached the standard, but he couldn't get the rebounds.
Facts have proved that you have to be able to win triple-doubles. Compared with the Turtle, there is still a big gap.
Francis has the ability to compete with rebounds, not to mention the comparison with Turtle, even with Kidder. If Kidder focuses on grabbing the board like Francis, he will definitely be stronger.
After 4 consecutive away games, the Supersonics returned to Seattle with 10 consecutive wins.
The performance of the Supersonics at the start of the new season is quite surprising, including the Supersonics themselves.
The schedule is relatively easy, but I didn't say that I could win 10 consecutive games.
The Supersonics themselves are ready to lose 3-4 in the first 10 games, and they need to accept the loss during the running-in.
But he won 10 consecutive victories.
On November 18, the Supersonics ushered in their second and last season against the Magic, this time at home.
The strength gap is very big. The Supersonics defeated the Magic, the third-last in the East 101-84.
Zhang Hao made 15 of 25 shots, scored 42 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, and got a triple-double for the third time in the season.
At the same time, the Supersonics won 11 consecutive victories!
On November 19, the first day of the new week, the league announced the Player of the Week Award for the third game week of the new season.
In the first week, Ben Wallace and Payton won the best of the week.
In the second week, Nowitzki and Duncan won the best of the week.
In the third week, it was finally Zhang Hao's turn. Coincidentally, the East was also No. 24. Kobe led the team to 3 wins and 0 losses last week to win the Best of the Week, and the Bulls also came to the fourth place in the East.
Three game weeks have passed, and each team has played 10-12 games.
At present, the east is quite special.
The Bucks are 8 wins and 3 losses in the East, the Nets are 8 wins and 4 losses in the second, the Cavaliers are 8 wins and 4 losses in the third, the 76ers are 7 wins and 4 losses in the fourth, the Bulls are 7 wins and 5 losses in the fifth, the Pacers are 7 wins and 5 losses in the sixth, the Celtics are 6 wins and 5 losses in the seventh, the Wizards are 6 wins and 5 losses in the eighth, and the Raptors are 6 wins and 6 losses in the ninth.
They are all pretty good. In the West, the Supersonics ranked first with 11 wins and 0 losses, the Mavericks ranked second with 8 wins and 2 losses, the Lakers ranked third with 8 wins and 3 losses, the Kings ranked fourth with 7 wins and 4 losses, the Trail Blazers ranked fifth with 6 wins and 5 losses, the Spurs ranked six wins and 6 losses, the Suns ranked seventh with 5 wins and 6 losses, and the Timberwolves ranked eighth with 5 wins and 6 losses.
I don’t know when the year has started, the pattern of strong west and weak east has suddenly changed. Now, the top teams in the east are indeed not as strong as the top teams in the west.
However, compared with the overall strength of the playoffs, the East is already slightly stronger, and a large number of stars are moving towards the East.
Not many people care about these things. Now fans who are paying attention to NBA want to know when the Supersonics will end their winning streak?
Everyone thinks that the Supersonics should not win 11 consecutive victories.
It’s not that we look down on the Supersonics team, but that the Supersonics team’s strength has not been higher than other top-level teams this season. Instead, the strength shown in top-level teams is ranked in the middle.
But the Supersonics' game was either driven by Zhang Hao or defense led by Ben Wallace, to gain an advantage at critical moments and win the game.
Even though I knew that the Supersonics won the game with this, I just couldn't stop it!
...
After sweeping the Magic Team, the Supersonics got a two-day break.
This time I returned to home court, there were two games.
In the November issue, the Supersonics ushered in the challenge of the Trail Blazers at home.
Nash averaged 18 points and 8 assists per game, Rashid Wallace averaged 11 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks per game, and the two played very well.
Given that Bunchi Wells averaged 17 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists per game last season, Derek Anderson and Ruben Patterson both averaged 11+ games, Rashid Wallace decisively switched to defense this season.
As a result, Bunch Wells' contract broke out last season. After signing a four-year, $29 million contract extension, the new season became a 105-kilogram stick and began to lose weight after the season began.
The Trail Blazers' performance in the new season is ups and downs, with a 50% winning rate going to the world...
But the Trail Blazers' defense in the new season is still doing well.
Sabonis is back and plays for another year, trying to reverse the team's atmosphere... This is not successful, but at least the frame protection is still possible. It is quite good to average 6 points, 4 rebounds, 0.5 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game.
After a defensive battle, the Supersonics defeated the Trail Blazers 93-88 and won 12 consecutive victories.
8+9+20+22+24. Although the opponents of the Supersonic team went wild when they saw the Supersonic team, Zhang Hao still received the 83-day life span.
...
On November 23, the Supersonics came to play against the Mavericks away and started another five-game series.
In Niuhu Country, the three strong teams are fiercely competing for the second place in the West.
The Mavericks have played 13 games, 10 wins and 3 losses, beating the Lakers with 9 wins and 3 losses.
At 7 p.m., the game between the Supersonics' away challenge to the Mavericks began.
It's rare that the Supersonics took the lead in the first quarter, 34 to 18, and led the Mavericks by 16 points in the first quarter!
Although the Mavericks scored 29 in the second quarter, the Supersonics still led the Mavericks to 8 points into the second quarter with 55-47.
In the third quarter, the Supersonics stabilized the situation and scored 20-19 in a single quarter. Ben Wallace blocked 4 shots in a single quarter, helping the Supersonics to score the score 75-66 and lead the Mavericks by 9 points!
In the final quarter, the Mavericks started to 11 minutes and 54 seconds in the fourth quarter. Nowitzki received the pass from Jason Williams to turn and make a three-pointer. 96 to 95, the Mavericks overtake the Supersonics by 1 point!
Ben Wallace is very restricted tonight against Finley, Jason Williams, and Van Exel, but Nowitzki is really unable to limit it. The one who defends Nowitzki is better at defending is Kirirenko, but Kirirenko's ability to defend in series is currently only first-class, and the single defense is far worse than Artest.
In the last quarter, Nowitzki went crazy and scored 14 points in a single quarter, helping the Mavericks score a 30-20 single quarter!
