Kendall Gill grabbed the ball, and time was running out. He took a step forward and shot directly in the mid-range shot. He was too hasty and missed the shot. Zhang Hao, who had just completed the block, guarded the rebound without being careless and carefully waited for Kenny Anderson to come up. Answer.
The Hornets retreated quickly. After Edison recovered, he immediately confronted Zhang Hao after passing the ball, not giving Zhang Hao a chance to make a quick move.
Edison¡¯s operation of pressing and defending an off-ball shooter was indeed strange, but he didn¡¯t think there was any problem. The opponent was faster than all their inside players, and only Kendall Gill at the point guard position was faster than Zhang Hao.
In addition to speed, there is also Zhang Hao's confrontation. Edison thought that with his weight of 201 centimeters and 98 kilograms, his confrontation was not as good as Zhang Hao's! He had to charge harder, but Zhang Hao, who was obviously slimmer than him, was stronger against him It was simply amazing!
Edison couldn¡¯t figure it out, and neither could anyone else. However, while the Hornets players were shocked, the Nets players were even more motivated because of Zhang Hao¡¯s shot blocking!
Blocking shots is a way to boost morale as well as dunking. Zhang Hao's cover defense just now showed excellent defensive awareness and physical condition Is the highly praised high school student in Minneapolis as good as Zhang Hao? His teammates thought it was impossible!
In the frontcourt, Zhang Hao continued to focus on containment, but this time, he found that the opponent's defensive method had changed. It seemed that he was not so tight in defense, but more tightly guarded against strong-side shots and weak-side cuts. .
Make a decision immediately! Zhang Hao began to strengthen his running methods to find shooting opportunities for himself.
The Nets lineup has a fast pace. Although there is no fast break, Kenny Anderson immediately started a fast attack after advancing to the frontcourt to increase the rhythm.
Zhang Hao seized the opportunity and ran back violently, slipping to the baseline under Larry Johnson's pursuit. He made perfect use of PJ Brown, who cut through the baseline, and the opponent's center Matt Geiger to block Larry Johnson and reach the right baseline. .
Kenny Anderson also judged this opportunity and quickly passed the ball to Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao caught the ball and shot from the bottom lineit went in!
Just as Zhang Hao analyzed, the opponent may make defensive adjustments, and he predicted the opponent's prediction!
The Nets still have continuity on the offensive end after this large-scale lineup adjustment!
Zhang Hao showed great aggression and was very keen to judge the defensive intentions of his opponents on the court. In addition, he became more and more familiar with his teammates' running habits on the field and became more familiar with his own tactics. Based on tactics, he found better and more suitable movement routes and practiced them without hesitation. His performance was very impressive.
His strong awareness of self-adjustment on the court has given Kenny Anderson a huge help.
Either scoring, passing assists to Zhang Hao, or using the threat of himself and Zhang Hao to pass to othersKenny Anderson is playing more and more freely!
When Hornets coach Bristow saw this scene, he knew there was nothing he could do. A team like the Nets with mainly young players would be difficult to suppress if their morale and momentum were really boosted.
But Bristol is not in a hurry. He is trying his best to make adjustments. It does not mean that he is afraid of losing, and they have not lost yet. He thinks this game is a good game to enter the rhythm of the season. He is really I want to thank my opponent.
Of course it would be better if we can win, but given this situation, we can only hope that the players on the court can suppress the Nets' momentum through performance.
The Nets' point guard line makes Bristol very envious. If they had a point guard like Kenny Anderson or Childs, they wouldn't have lost to the Bulls in the playoffs last year. With team play, everyone can Transitioning the ball is good, but sometimes a point guard who can sort out the offense alone is also very important. Bogues is that kind of point guard, but Bogues is too short and too prone to injuries.
¡¡
At the end of the half, thanks to Larry Johnson and Glen Rice scoring 6 points in a row at the last moment, the Hornets narrowly kept the point difference at 6 points.
58 to 52, the Nets led by 6 points entering the halftime break.
? 10 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, playing for 13 minutes, Zhang Hao produced very beautiful data.
During the halftime break, half of the players in the Nets locker room were very excited and actively discussing how to play in the second half.
Why half?
Because only 9 players got the chance to play in the first half, and many of the other 11 players were training camp contract players, and they had already seen the signs - they had no chance, and some were already prepared. After the away game ended and they returned to Rutherford Town, they were expected to be eliminated.
Reality is cruel, but reality is indeed so cruel.
&He can run and shoot. The Hornets have already paid a lot of attention to Zhang Hao because of the last match, but now they realize that they still don't pay enough attention!
In addition, Zhang Hao was able to send out 3 assists in 31 minutes! The most incredible thing is that they hardly saw Zhang Hao dribbling. The three assists were all passed out within two seconds after receiving the ball. His ability to distribute the ball in high and low posts is very good, or in other words, he is very good at passing the ball. His positional awareness is extremely good!
However, even if Zhang Hao performed so well, the Nets still couldn't stop the Hornets' momentum of chasing points.
Zhang Hao behaved so well, and they were even more unhappy!
At 9 minutes and 21 seconds of the last quarter, the Hornets relied on Dell Curry's corner three-pointer to lead the Nets by one point 106-105. The Nets called a timeout!
The fans watching the game even complained about the Hornets - it's just a preseason game, and there is such an outstanding rookie on the opposite side. Can you be so serious?
Whether he is leading or lagging behind, whether he played a good offense or did poorly on defense and was scored by his opponent, Zhang Hao's mood does not seem to have changed much, as if he immediately devoted himself to the next one after one round. The round is average.
From the perspective of a bystander, Zhang Hao is so lovable. A player who is so focused on the game and has talent. How can he not be lovable when the fans have no inclination?
Especially his not-so-sharp playing style has a strong sense of presence, which makes it easier to attract the love of fans who watch the game in person. These are things that cannot be seen in news reports.
It¡¯s just that if the Hornets players knew what the fans at the scene were thinking, they would definitely be so angry that they would vomit blood.
But if the fans at the scene can come up with such thoughts, others will not be surprised if they know it. The Hornets' football market in Charlotte is not good, and they are far less popular than North Carolina.
A player of college age like Zhang Hao would have been easy for local Charlotte fans to like.
Anyway, Zhang Hao's arrogance after dunking on Edison was already forgiven by the fans at the scene. Except for that ball, Zhang Hao did not show arrogance at other times. No matter how beautiful the goal was, he never showed it again. They regarded that ball as " Accident".
As for what Edison thought, no one cared.
Even what the Hornets players think, most people at the scene don¡¯t care.
Some local fans who have seen the news about Zhang Hao¡¯s post-draft interview also complained about North Carolina - if you give him a full basketball scholarship, he will be our player!
Although I don¡¯t know what the fans at the scene are thinking, the Hornets players have also felt the change in the support of the fans at the scene, and they can occasionally hear the exclamations when Zhang Hao plays a good ball.
This makes the Hornets players extremely unhappy!
There are 2 minutes and 39 seconds left in the game. They have already overtaken the score and are about to win!
The Hornets players have never wanted to win a preseason game so much, but now, they just want to win!
What Bristol wants is this kind of mentality, this kind of real emotion entering the new season. During the timeout, he thinks very seriously about the opponent's next offensive tactics and the Hornets' own offense at critical moments.
On the other side, Randy Whitman was also carefully arranging tactics. He still put Zhang Hao on the court at the last moment, not because he believed that Zhang Hao would perform well at the critical moment, but because there were no better players available.
Apart from Kenny Anderson, Gilliam, and Childs, the best player on the team is the rookie Zhang Hao!
Considering the overlapping positions, the role of play and other conditions, Zhang Hao's role in the game is more important than that of Childs.
Randy Whitman really didn¡¯t expect Zhang Hao to be so good!
But that¡¯s it. From the first day he came to the team, Zhang Hao continued to surprise them.
However, Randy Whitman has no confidence in whether he can play well in the critical moments in the last few minutes. If Coleman is here, just give the ball to Coleman for a single at the last moment. Coleman is better than the opposite player. Larry Johnson is even better.
But that¡¯s not the case, so let¡¯s make arrangements as usual.
After the timeout, Zhang Hao came on the court with Kenny Anderson, Gilliam, PJ Brown, and Vaughan Fleming.
The Hornets sent out a combination of Kendall Gill, Dell Curry, Glenn Rice, Burrell and Larry Johnson.
Bristol directly placed Larry Johnson at the center position, because even compared with serious insiders like Jason Williams, Larry Johnson still has a clear advantage in confrontation. The opposite Nets team can There is no real center among the players at all. At this time, just send the five strongest players up.
