On January 26, 2003, the Supersonics narrowly defeated the Spurs 106-98 at home, winning the 37th game of the season, and their record increased to 37 wins and 7 losses.

Thanks to the 23-game winning streak at the beginning, the Supersonics still ranked first in the league.

In this game against the Spurs, Zhang Hao's performance continued to be efficient!

Arenas scored 37 points and 10 assists tonight. With such a powerful performance, the SuperSonics almost steadily over the Spurs. Except for Ben Wallace leading the team to defend the lower limit on the defensive end, Jason Williams and Lightning Evans took turns to protect the rebound... More importantly, Zhang Hao's brutal performance of 42 points made 16 of 26 shots.

No matter how good Arenas plays, he will lead Richard Jefferson, David Robinson, Steve Smith, Malik Ross... no matter how good they play, the Supersonics will not panic.

Because Zhang Hao played better!

No matter how strong the Spurs rush, the pressure is still on the Spurs.

At the beginning, the Spurs played well and forced Zhang Hao out of his prime.

After the fight, it turned out that the Spurs did not dare to perform well, otherwise they would be left behind by Zhang Hao and the Supersonics...

In the end, the Supersonics seemed to be chased very tightly, but in fact, they relied on Zhang Hao to win steadily with 40+ for the 10th single game this season.

But not many people care about these after the game.

After the game, what people care about was Bowen chasing Reggie Evans...

In the past, Bowen was chased and beaten by others, but now he has become Bowen chasing and beaten by others. Fans feel that the worldview has been refreshed.

The most incredible thing is that Bao Wen actually dared to chase and beat the Supersonics players!

And the Supersonics players ended up just standing in front of Bowen and didn't fight back!

The reason is that someone has drawn his gun... No, it should be said that someone has been pulled.

According to the video clip at that time, the Supersonic players were stunned at first. It may be the first time in so many years that someone chased their players. When the Supersonic players wanted to help, a replay was played on the big screen...

With 1 minute and 22 seconds left in the game, Bowen replaced defense to Reggie Evans and pushed and shoved with Lightning Evans. Reggie Evans reached out and pulled Bowen's crotch while pushing.

From the replay, Bowen cursed at the time, covered his crotch and took two steps back, then chased Reggie Evans like crazy.

Reggie Evans is also interesting. He is actually about the same height as Bowen. He weighs 20 kilograms, but he has to play small moves. When he is chased, he knows that he is in a disadvantage, but he just doesn't fight back and gets punched several times...

That night, the league issued a penalty, and Reggie Evans was added with a technical foul. In addition to a regular fine for technical foul, he was fined $500 for indecent behavior.

Bao Wen took one skilled foul because of his chasing his opponent. After the game, he was added one skilled foul and was suspended for one game.

Finally, I saw Bowen being suspended!

Reggie Evans's operation made him famous in one battle!

In the first 40 games, Reggie Evans played 19 times, averaged 12 minutes per game, scored 2.3 points and 3.9 rebounds. The rebounding efficiency is still good, with more than 10 rebounds every 36 minutes, which is very good, but in the Supersonics, they are basically the least concerned one and don’t play many times.

Compared to this, Chris Anderson, who looks eye-catching, has a more irritable and has a more outgoing personality, is more popular among fans.

The first new generation of Supersonics players to have a fan team is not Artest, nor Parker, Kirilenko, Chandler, but Chris Anderson.

But this time, Reggie Evans became popular.

In the past, Bowen hurt his opponent, but he still looked innocent when he was beaten... It doesn't matter whether he is innocent or not. Anyway, he hurts his opponent, which also caused his opponent to be suspended for hitting him.

The evil ones are beaten by the evil ones. Reggie Evans's "drawing the gun" operation, which is extremely harmful and insulting, made Bowen feel the most extreme sinister in the world!

Before, fans were thinking about beating Bao Wen to death and stepping on the back... What's the matter?

But those operations are either banned or become second in Bowen, which is not a good operation.

But now it’s different. Reggie Evans provides a brand new solution to the problem!

Since Bao Wen is despicable and vulgar, then just play more despicable and vulgar than Bao Wen?

There is no need to hurt him, wouldn’t it be that I should have put myself to the same level as him?

Just look for the person in the team who is the most arrogant and ruthless, and go up and give Bao Wen a few tricks.

If you do it a few more times, maybe the Bao Wen family's lineage will be invincible...

...

Regarding Reggie Evans's operation, Zhang Hao could only praise him in his heart and did a good job, and he helped him pay the bill for fines and violations of fines.

As the one who started this kind of thing, only Reggie Evans was thinking too much!

Zhang Hao often chooses to go straightforward when it comes to such things. If he dares to offend him, he will do it back.

You may be expelled from the court, fined, or even suspended, but if you portray the image of a ruthless person, you will have less trouble in the future.

To be detailed, Zhang Hao’s handling method is to prevent people like Bao Wen from having contact with him.

But Reggie Evans felt like "eliminating harm for the people". Obviously, Bowen didn't dare to do anything when he saw Reggie Evans' physique and image. Reggie Evans was just deliberately trying to mess with Bowen.

But it doesn't matter what it is for.

The next afternoon, after the training of the Supersonics team, Zhang Hao was asked about helping Reggie Evans pay a fine, Zhang Hao explained:

"I believe Reggie was definitely not intentionally trying to hurt Bowen. He was definitely not that kind of person. He just was too active in defense...ah? Is Bowen defending Reggie? Wait, listen to me... No, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I believe Reggie was definitely not intentionally trying to hurt Bowen. I firmly believe this. I condemn Bowen for beating people. He is not worthy of playing basketball."

The reporter should be speechless at this moment.

However, when the Spurs cleared Bowen's footsteps, they repeatedly emphasized that they believed that "Bowen is a good person and will not intentionally hurt others."

Even though Bao Wen was beaten eight times a year for footsteps, they still "strongly believe" that Bao Wen is a good person...

When Zhang Hao said this, the reporter naturally understood what it meant.

In the corner of the training ground, a former maximum salary who was unwilling to be named, while the former All-Star Power Forward is now looking sad and angry.

He heard that Zhang Hao paid a fine of US$500 for the rookie!

...

...

The Supersonics caused heated discussions in the game against the Spurs, but it was just a small episode, and for fans, it was just an interesting seasoning.

I just said that this flavoring is very popular among fans and want to add some salt to it frequently.

Next, the two games of the Supersonics are the real highlights.

Double fight against the Lakers!

On the 27th, the Supersonics offseason day, the Lakers came to Seattle at this point.

After a night off, on January 28, the first match day for the two teams to compete was here.

Before that, there is another big thing...

As of 12 noon on January 26, 2003, the All-Star voting for only one month ended this year. On the afternoon of the 26th, yesterday, the vote count was completed. At 10 am this morning, the league's regular vote count announcement conference was announced, and this year's All-Star lineup of Atlanta was announced.

The voting period this year is shorter, with the number of votes announced in the first two stages being lower than the same period in the past few years.

The alliance regulates the voting statistics method and is also one of the reasons for the reduction in votes.

However, the impact is actually not big. Who should be selected as All-Star or who should be selected, or who cannot be selected or cannot be selected.

For example, the first half of this season is almost over. The top three centers in the league mentioned by the media, experts, and fans are all the ones who cannot be selected as All-Stars.

east.

Center, Yao Ming defeated Duncan with 1.18 million votes and was selected as the All-Star.

Forward, McGrady ranked first with 1.86 million votes, and Carter ranked second with 1.55 million votes.

With defender, Kobe ranked first with 1.75 million votes, Iverson ranked second with 1.69 million votes.

west.

Center, Wang Zhizhi defeated O'Neal with 950,000 votes and Ben Wallace with 870,000 votes, and was selected as the All-Star. It is worth mentioning that Divac, the Western Conference center, won the fourth most votes, with only 160,000 votes.

Forward, Zhang Hao ranked first with 2.03 million votes, and Garnett ranked second with 1.58 million votes.

Defender, Anthony Hardaway ranked first with 1.48 million votes, Nash ranked second with 1.17 million votes, and Francis ranked third with 1.09 million votes.

Zhang Hao's data this season is a bit worse than last season, but his efficiency has reached the second highest level in his career. The overall efficiency of the season that only averaged triple-double per game was higher than this season.

Zhang Hao has scored more than a dozen key goals in the critical moments since the beginning of the season.

There is not much suspense. Zhang Hao became the only player this season to win over 2 million votes, winning the All-Star vote king!

...

Lianzhuang's All-Star Ticket King, Zhang Hao was still a little excited to learn that he won the All-Star Ticket King again.

The first time! Although this is his fifth All-Star Ticket King, it is the first time for Lianzhuang.

However, he also saw some views, saying that this is his second time to complete the All-Star votes, because he won the All-Star votes in the 97-98 and 99-00 seasons, while the NBA was suspended in the 98-99 season and the All-Star weekend was cancelled.

However, it is not that important to win the All-Star Ticket King.

After the league announced the final votes, Zhang Hao received a 17-day life span reward. He was very happy, as he gained extra benefits.

Although the All-Star Ticket King is won by performance, whether you can get the Ticket King is really not purely based on performance and strength.

Ten years ago, twenty years ago, it was fine, but now, all kinds of things in the world have become diversified.

It is not possible to get the ticket king with the Chinese market. Originally, Yao Ming did not get the ticket king when he first entered the NBA. After Yao Ming was selected as a third team in the second grade, Yao Ming won the ticket king for the first time in the third grade.

The center position was selected for the third team, O'Neal, and Wallace, the second team.
