The Timberwolves can win more than 20 games a year, which is unparalleled. The lineup is not even as good as the Nets where Zhang Hao was originally.
The game itself is indeed nothing to watch. The Timberwolves did not break out today, and the Lakers quickly took the lead.
Only the one-on-one duel between Zhang Hao and Garnett attracted the attention of fans and even players from both teams.
Zhang Hao is very good, but as long as he plays against Garnett, he can feel Garnett's super talent. They are both rookies, and the duel between the two is quite attractive.
Garnett is not yet the first-class scorer who will average 20+ per game for 9 consecutive years. If he wants to deal with Zhang Hao, all he can do is find a way on the defensive end.
"As for Zhang Hao, if he doesn't cooperate with his teammates and competes one-on-one with Garnett, he really has an advantage in terms of technique which means he has an advantage in terms of coordination and strength.
As the game progressed, teammates and fans discovered one thing - their super rookie was actually not that perfect.
Under Garnett's defense, Zhang Hao's most efficient singles game is to turn around and shoot jump shots, or forcefully turn around and attack the frame in the three-second zone.
Zhang Hao turns around in the mid-range, and Garnett can rely on his prediction ability and excellent movement ability to get stuck in position in advance.
Let alone face-to-face, Zhang Hao can't beat many opponents.
But once it comes to dynamic offense, Zhang Hao is more than one step ahead of Garnett!
Zhang Hao is better in terms of running awareness, utilization of teammates, timing of movement and timing of shootingetc.
The key is shooting. They are all high school rookies. Garnett is seven months older, but Zhang Hao's shooting is not comparable to Garnett's.
In singles, Zhang Hao does not have the ball-handling ability of Garnett, but he has one move that only depends on luck when defending Garnett, which is to see whether Zhang Hao's touch is good or not - relying on strength to hit the back.
In this regard, Garnett has not yet.
The game reached 8 minutes and 35 seconds of the third quarter. After the suspense was completely lost, Zhang Hao, who made 9 of 18 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 3 of 4 free throws, was replaced.
22 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, this is Zhang Hao's performance of 31 minutes.
Garnett played 29 minutes, making 4 of 11 shots and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 11 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.
At this time, the Lakers already led the Timberwolves by 21 points, 73-52.
Timberwolves head coach Flip Saunders' preference for Garnett makes teammates somewhat sympathetic to Laettner.
At that time, Laettner was second only to Grant Hill in college. Because he was a white insider, he became a member of the Dream Team. However, he never did well after entering the NBA. In this game, Flip Saunders for Let Garnett feel the strength of the strongest rookie. Laettner, the team's strongest player in his prime who is rushing to take shots, was replaced and benched after playing a few minutes.
Everyone can see that Laettner took the initiative because opportunities were getting fewer and fewer and he had to fight for it, but no matter whether he played well or badly, it seemed that he could not escape the result of being abandoned in the end.
But Garnett does have talent!
This is very realistic
There is no surprise. The Timberwolves who have not broken out are not opponents of any strong team at all, and the Timberwolves, who have few outside shooters, have little chance of breaking out.
In the end, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves 108-90 and won 9 consecutive victories!
In this game, teammates and fans at the scene learned more clearly about Zhang Hao's strengths and weaknesses.
Zhang Hao¡¯s playing style and technical situation confirm that he will not be the kind of core player who can build a team around him now.
However, everyone can see that he is the kind of player who can integrate into almost any offensive system. Trading or signing a player with core inside and outside play will not affect him at all, but will provide him with a super offensive point. It can also reduce its reliance on scoring points and allow it to play better.
In the game against the Timberwolves, outside of the 20 or so possessions in which Zhang Hao received the ball, Magic was the starting point of the offense. Due to the poor overall defense of the Timberwolves, Magic scored 19 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists in the three quarters. , scored a triple-double for the first time since his comeback.
When the Magician plays well, Zhang Hao, if not playing in singles, performs even better than when he is the main containment point.
This game may not seem important, the opponent is so weak, but it is actually quite important.
But after Zhang Hao scored 60 points in a single game, many people had extra expectations for him. Maybe Zhang Hao cannot respond to this expectation at this stage.
It happened that a game like this happened at this time. Zhang Hao wanted to challenge Garnett in a duel, but his opponent was not strong. His teammates and head coach gave him a chance, and he will?Most Valuable Player. "
The magician was stunned and said with a smile: "Haha, I was lucky that time. Without Kareem, how could I have won the FMVP in my rookie season."
Zhang Hao curled his lips, noncommittal.
This rookie with such a delicate heart The magician did not continue the topic and asked: "Did you encounter any troubles?"
It¡¯s good to have seniors you can ask. Zhang Hao asked: ¡°Our recent state is too good, we have won 12 consecutive games¡±
When the magician heard this question, a series of questions ran through his mind: "Is there anything wrong with us being in good condition?"
"Uh" Zhang Hao was asked and didn't know how to answer.
yes!
You are in good condition, what¡¯s wrong?
Zhang Hao scratched his face, struggled to organize his words and said: "But I don't think we can win the first place in the Western Conference. If our form declines in the future and our record drops again"
Zhang Hao himself couldn¡¯t say this anymore.
"Hahahaha" The magician didn't expect that Zhang Hao was struggling with this. He laughed for a long time before he stopped laughing and responded: "Who would think about what to do if they lose when they keep winning? We shouldn't Do you want to win more games while you are in good shape now?
Leave tomorrow¡¯s affairs to tomorrow. I¡¯m almost 37 years old and I don¡¯t worry as much as you do. You are only 19 years old. Why are you worrying about these things? Aren¡¯t you happy to win?
While you are winning now, try to enjoy more happy times!
Lakers fans are not that easy to deal with. They will be scolded a lot when they lose in the future!
Of course, you are right to worry, we are definitely not good enough, but we can work hard to get better!
Because we have you! "
Zhang Hao was silent for a while, feeling that his anxiety this time was a bit silly.
Who really sees them as a championship team? He himself doesn't regard the Lakers as a championship team
"Since we are not a championship team at all, then why should I worry so much? You are stupid, just keep training!"
Thinking of the magician¡¯s last words, Zhang Hao stood up decisively.
"I'm rested, let's continue training! Magician, we still have two days of rest, can we practice more today?"
"It's okay to practice more, but just wait! My old bones can't stand your torture"
Although he said this, the magician still stood up.
Recently, Zhang Hao¡¯s footwork has improved significantly, and the magician has to be more serious.
These additional trainings are also the reason why magicians can get into the best condition faster. It is becoming increasingly difficult to easily abuse Zhang Hao in one-on-one situations!
Another day of training passed, and at 10:50 pm, Zhang Hao turned off the TV and prepared to go to bed.
Suddenly, the subtitles popped up!
"The team of special contracted player Zhang Hao has won 12 consecutive victories, and has aroused strong hostility from Michael Jordan, the strongest player in the league today. Mission Glory Mark 2 is triggered"
I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
