"You're old!" O'Neal was about to run away on the spot...Don't pull me... Hey, there's no one around, forget it.

Finally, this guy spoke up, so it would be better not to.

What's wrong with getting old? You won't be over 30 years old?

Thinking of this, O'Neal became even more angry and glared at Zhang Hao fiercely.

If this guy doesn't leave, will he need to worry about his age?

But now I am really worried about my age... 'Fortunately I have had an MVP and a champion long time ago. Work harder and win another championship. It is best to win an FMVP and your career will be complete...'

‘???’ Zhang Hao said, and found that he accidentally poked the pain point again. Just as he was about to find some repairs, he saw O'Neal's face-changing scene... ‘What's wrong with Big Fat?’

After adjusting his emotions, O'Neal was a little happy. After a few years, Zhang Hao finally spoke up... O'Neal replied again: "I'm old? Do you have a center in your team dare to be one-on-one with me? Are you here?"

Zhang Hao replied: "I just said Mr. O'Neal, you are old, not that you are not strong anymore. You are still the strongest center, but you are not as strong as before in the past few years. What a pity."

I really feel a pity... O'Neal could hear that Zhang Hao was the truth and said, "That's sure, I was already 31 a while ago, and you also gave me a car of beer. I'm not as strong as last year or as strong as the previous year. That's sure... By the way, why did you give me a car of beer on my birthday?"

"If you are brothers, let's have beer together..."

“???”

"It's okay. When I saw the beer, I thought of your birthday and bought it by the way."

O'Neal looked down at his stomach when he heard this and patted it, it looked a bit like ha...

Zhang Hao asked puzzledly: "Mr. O'Neal, aren't you angry when you're old?"

"I'm just old, not weak."

"oh……"

...

It is a generous recognition that he is not young anymore, especially an athlete who is not very scheming dares to face his age. This is definitely a reflection of a strong sense of self-confidence.

But as O'Neal said, Zhang Hao also knows that even the 31-year-old O'Neal is definitely one of the three best players in the league. Not to mention 31 years old, if Carlisle uses it, O'Neal will be the first center in the next three years. In the next five years, O'Neal will most likely be the most powerful player in the center position.

After discussing his age with O'Neal, Pierce also came up and talked a few times.

Because I met Pierce frequently, I would go to Pierce's house for dinner every time I went to Los Angeles. Pierce's mother's apartment was still open and she still liked to cook... But now she has to hire a bodyguard, wearing a big gold chain and a big diamond watch all day long. I remember that 10 years ago, Pierce's mother was afraid of seeing her at night. Now she didn't dare to go out at night.

Time is a very interesting thing. This year, Zhang Hao came to Staples Center again, and there were not so many people who shy.

He originally thought that he had once again embarked on the road to three consecutive championships, and that he would be booed even harder when he came to this stadium to play, but the reality was not the case.

For example, there were fans holding the sign ‘X, champion, us or you’ on the scene.

It turns out that Zhang Hao can leave anyone, but this generation of Lakers fans have lost their magicians, their logo men, and their McCann...

There are already rumors in Los Angeles. If the combination of O'Neal, Pierce, and Ray Allen does not win the championship at this stage, then the Lakers will change the situation.

This is no secret. Pierce's big contract has begun to be implemented and taxes have begun to be paid. The pressure to win the championship comes naturally. The thoughts that the championship 5 years ago brought to Lakers fans were almost gone at this time. In just two years, there must be a champion to satisfy the fans.

O'Neal and Zhang Hao are constantly in conflict, Pierce and Zhang Hao have a very good relationship, and there is another person in the Lakers' three major stars, who have long been disliked by Zhang Hao - Lei Allen.

At first, Lei Alan couldn't stand Zhang Hao, and there was no other reason, just because he couldn't stand it. In the three-point competition, the two had a grudge.

However, no matter whether the relationship is good or bad, Zhang Hao will not be given face when he is on the court.

At 7 pm, the Supersonics' away game against the Lakers started.

The Lakers sent Fisher, Ray Allen, Pierce, Robert Hory and O'Neal to start.

The Supersonics sent Cassel, Brent Barry, Artest, Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace to start.

Like the previous three matches, O'Neal, Pierce, and Ray Allen, the three major stars are very stable, which also makes the entire Lakers team look very stable.

These three big stars are more suitable to join Peirce and O'Neal's duo.

With these three people driving, on the offensive end, Fisher looked like Tim Hardaway who had shot after a big injury, and Horry looked like a short version of Rashid Wallace. The chances were so good, there were many opportunities on the wings, and the two had a strong ability to seize such opportunities.

In terms of the Supersonics, in this area, it is not as good as the Lakers.

Zhang Hao + Cassel + Artest, and O'Neal + Ray Allen + Pierce are really threats... But the Supersonics have their advantages - the team defense is better!

Through team defense, the Lakers' scoring speed was delayed, the offensive end was used, Zhang Hao's threat was used to launch an offense, Ben Wallace's rush, Artest's tank-style impact, Cassel's rhythm-changing singles, Brent Barry's catch-up shot and cut...

drag!

This is what the Supersonics are good at.

After 9 minutes and 55 seconds of the first quarter, the Supersonics called a short pause and took turns, and Zhang Hao turned on the scoring mode.

Zhang Hao decisively issued the triggering command of "Kobe Time", but he decisively failed to complete it.

But after turning on the 'stubborn' mode, Zhang Hao was extremely confident in his shots and could continue to make decisive shots after making a blacksmith.

This is very important. When Zhang Hao has his current shooting level, "the heart is amazing" is really important.

In the last two minutes of the first quarter, Zhang Hao only made 1 of 3 shots, but also scored 3 free throws and scored 6 points. In addition, Odom, who came on as a substitute, grabbed the offensive rebound and gave Arroyo a three-pointer. After the first quarter, the Supersonics overtook the Lakers 29-27 and entered the quarterly rest!

Behind 4 points, he scored a 9-3 win and took the lead by 2 points. More than two minutes here, the Supersonics overwhelmed the Lakers' limelight.

This time the two teams have played against each other in the regular season. It is less than a month since the end of the regular season. Both teams have used their previous experience and information on all aspects of the match.

Both sides are very mature strong teams. This maturity refers to how to adjust your condition. It may not be so stable in the early and mid-season period, but by the end of the regular season, it will definitely be stable.

It’s not that the offensive state is always good, but that you can be very sure of certain specific advantages.

Just like Ben Wallace judged the opportunity, seized the opportunity of the opponent's mid-range and long-range shots and not so accurate and the pass-through efficiency was not so high, and went all out to launch a sweeping defense.

The Lakers, Pierce is the main attacker in regular time, Ray Allen serves as the second strike point, O'Neal is rushing, and at critical moments, he will play singles if he has the best chance.

There is also Zhang Hao, who has been playing for a year in the Supersonics, and the offensive end is paddling in regular time, and the game is harvested at critical moments.

These are things that both teams are good at and able to grasp.

However, in the last two minutes of the first quarter today, the Supersonics played better. Zhang Hao made a quick attack in four rounds, causing a foul, scoring 1 goal, and 2 goals hit the iron. One goal in the iron shot turned into a three-pointer, and a 9-3 shot overtook the score.

In the second quarter, the two teams entered a tug-of-war. O'Neal scored 6 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks in a single quarter, and played extremely high dominance on both ends of the offense and defense.

But in this quarter, the Lakers' offense can basically only be opened from O'Neal. O'Neal directly gave 7 points with 3 assists, plus indirect assists helped the Lakers get 6 points. Except for O'Neal's own score + 19 points he helped his teammates get, the Lakers only Pierce made two three-pointers, but saw 25 points.

However, the Supersonics are not having a good time. O'Neal blocked three shots, almost blocking the entire three-second zone.

If nothing unexpected happens this year, O'Neal should be in the Best Defensive Team again. Although O'Neal has no presence in awards such as Best Defensive Team and Best Defensive Player, just by serious about protecting close range and ability to take the basket, the league probably cannot find a stronger presence than O'Neal.

The Supersonics limited the Lakers' offense to basically only open from O'Neal's point, otherwise they would fight against each other and make strong shots against the defense, but the Supersonics' own offensive performance was average, scoring 24 points in a single quarter.

After halftime, the Supersonics led the Lakers by 1 point to enter the third quarter!

In the third quarter, the Supersonics finally started to take shape!

The Supersonics' defense in the third quarter was similar to the second quarter, and neither Pierce nor Ray Allen made that magical goal. The Lakers only scored 23 points in the third quarter.

On the Supersonics, after Zhang Hao scored 4 goals and 9 points in the second half of the third quarter, he passed a three-pointer for Wesley Person and Artest, who were on the wing, each passing by a three-pointer, leading the team to a 15-5 wave!

Wesley Person is really good. As long as he creates enough opportunities, he is extremely sure! After all, he is a top pitcher with a career three-point shooting percentage of 40+.

After scoring 4 goals in a row, Zhang Hao was frantically attacked by the opponent, and he didn't even have a chance to take off. He decisively chose to pass the ball and trust his teammates. Wesley Person and Artest both gave positive responses!

In the third quarter, the Supersonics scored 32-23 in a single quarter. After three quarters, the Supersonics led the Lakers 10 points into the final quarter with 85-75!

After the final quarter, the two teams played smoothly for more than 4 minutes, with a score of 9-8. The Supersonics tied the score to 94-83, and the gap widened to 11 points.

Seeing that the situation is about to stabilize, the situation suddenly changes!

Fisher's counterattack layup intercepted Kassel opened a wave of counterattack for the Lakers.

O'Neal's big hat, Pierce's steal, and with Fisher, Ray Allen, Pierce's key goal, the Lakers scored a 20-8 wave before and after the official timeout in the middle of the fourth quarter!

In more than 4 minutes, the Lakers overtook the score! 103-102-102-1!

At the critical moment, Zhang Hao stood up again, scored two three-pointers in a row, and started to rush with Pierce, who was scoring consecutive goals!

After playing 11 minutes and 06 seconds in the fourth quarter, the Supersonics led the Lakers by 2 points 113-111 and had the ball.

Just now, after Zhang Hao scored two three-pointers, Kassel made a mid-range shot, Artest made a strong breakthrough of 2+1, and the two scored 5 points together to help the Supersonics regain the initiative.

The Lakers just made a fuss, and the Supersonics called a timeout after grabbing the rebound.

If you advance next attack, you will likely be able to lock in the victory. If you don’t advance, it will be dangerous.

In the past 6 minutes, Fisher, Pierce, and Ray Allen scored 28 points!

After the timeout, the Supersonics attacked. The Lakers defended Zhang Hao to catch the ball. The ball came to Arroyo on the wing. Arroyo received the ball and missed the three-pointer... Zhang Hao rushed to grab the offensive rebound!

O'Neal made up for the first time, Zhang Hao found the right opportunity and passed the ball... It was Artest again!

Artest cuts into the bottom line on the other side, O'Neal turns around and blocks... he has a foul!

Artest threw the ball towards the rebound under O'Neal's collision and hit the board!

After walking on the free throw line, Arteste also made the free throw, 116 to 111, the Supersonics widened the gap to 5 points and secured the victory!

The Lakers threw two three-pointers in the end, Ray Allen didn't throw them in, and O'Neal grabbed the offensive rebound and came out to Fisher but still didn't make the effort.

Zhang Hao's 35 points, Artest's 20 points, Cassel's 12 points and 11 assists, Odom's 12 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, Ginobili's 13 points, Ben Wallace's 7 points, 13 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks... He beat Pierce who scored 34 points, 24 points, 14 rebounds, 8 assists and 5 blocks, 22 points, Ray Allen, Fisher's 15 points...

The Supersonics narrowly defeated the Lakers 116-111, and tied the regular season match to a 2-2 draw!

Although the Lakers scored 36 points in a single quarter in the last quarter, their performance in the last quarter became useless because they lost to the Supersonics by 9 points in the third quarter!
