Reggie Miller is particularly envious of Zhang Hao's body shape.
From a theoretical point of view, you can learn anything, it¡¯s just a question of whether you can learn it well. If you drag Mutombo to practice three-pointers, at least Mutombo can learn the moves.
But height cannot be achieved through training.
The All-Stars in the Eastern Conference were also surprised by Zhang Hao's free performance. Anfernee Hardaway had no desire in this regard, and he was fine. Grant Hill was incredible about Zhang Hao's performance without stage fright. He could do it. You can't let go like Zhang Hao.
What surprised the more experienced players was Zhang Hao's ability to adapt - this rookie is playing better and better for the Lakers. It's not just that the Lakers acquired Doug Christie and brought Magic back in his trade, the key is this rookie. My own use of teammates who are good at passing the ball is already very good!
The perfect championship puzzle!
The veteran superstars of the Eastern Team who aspire to win the championship are extremely enthusiastic about Zhang Hao!
But now, it is not the time to think of ways to seduce the rookie to cooperate after the 1998 contract expires. Jordan is almost pissed off by Reggie Miller, so he should concentrate on playing the game first.
Seeing that Jordan was unable to refute, the Zen master finally woke up.
The only pure point guard in the Eastern Conference All-Stars is Trill Brandon, a short point guard who is 180 centimeters tall. Fortunately, there are many point guards on the other side, and there are no fast point guards on the opposite side, so it is not impossible to play. Jordan was defeated by his opponent today. His teammates were so angry that they probably couldn't stop him from determined to play
After thinking for a while, the Zen master began to make personnel adjustments: "Michael, go guard the point guard. Don't guard the rookie. It's a waste of your energy. Alonzo, come on, Trier and Reggie, you are responsible for keeping up with the opponent's striker. Guard, Scott, you go guard that rookie"
After arranging the rotation, the Zen master took the tactical board and started drawing
With a group of All-Stars, Master Jackson feels that coaching the All-Star Game is a pleasure!
But when Pippen heard this defensive arrangement, he suddenly became excited - I am not good at guarding that rookie No, Jordan's physical strength is physical strength, but my physical strength is not?
¡¡
The Western Team sent a combination of Stockton, Richmond, Zhang Hao, Malone and Olajuwon.
Originally, Del Harris thought that Zhang Hao was a rookie. Although he was the vote leader, he definitely had no chance to perform. He would replace him after a while to avoid wasting his energy on the court and possibly being bullied by the old stars No, it was I can't stand this rookie, so I don't want him to express himself in the All-Star Game.
But I didn¡¯t expect that its versatility would work so well in the All-Star Game. Even though it¡¯s the All-Star Game, if you have a chance to win, it¡¯s best if you win.
No one likes to lose in a competition.
In addition, the Lakers can free up a huge salary space of more than 10 million US dollars after this season to allow Zhang Hao to continue playing. It would also be good to make more use of Zhang Hao's versatile characteristics to attract the attention of the All-Stars. .
On the other side, the Eastern Team sent a combination of Jordan, Reggie Miller, Glenn Rice, Pippen, and Mourning.
The mood of the head coach of the Eastern team was completely different from that of the head coach of the Western team. Zen Master wanted to curse at that time - what did the Silver Fox on the opposite side think? Actually replaced Shuangsha and Zhang Hao together?
Master Zen really didn¡¯t expect that the opponent would rotate like this. Players might not pay attention to the feud between Malone and Zhang Hao, but as the head coach of a top team, he had lost to the Lakers once before, and Master Zen didn¡¯t want to lose a second time, so Before playing against the Lakers, Zen Master took the time to pay attention to the Lakers, a team that had defeated them once, and learned about the feud between Zhang Hao and Malone.
His rotation is an adjustment based on the fact that Zhang Hao and Ma Long will not appear together.
¡°I hope these two will have internal strife during the game¡±
After the timeout, Olajuwon made two free throws, making the score 19-14, and the Western team led by 5 points.
The Eastern team attacks.
Although Zen Master was full of anxiety on the defensive end, the offensive coordination of their lineup was demonstrated at that time.
Except for Mourning, the other four members of the Eastern Team are very good at passing the ball. Reggie Miller and Glenn Rice both averaged 3+ assists per game this season, Jordan averaged 4+ assists per game, and Pippen averaged 6+ assists per game. Although Jordan and Reggie Miller dislike each other, when it comes to the game, the two work together very well and understand each other too well.
With Pippen in charge, Reggie Miller received the ball from the sideline and made a long pass to the weak side. Jordan easily hit a mid-range jumper from the bottom line after Mourning used the ball-free pick-and-roll!
Zhang Hao's defense was a beat late, and Jordan's rhythm was very good.
In just one round, Zhang Hao could tell. Compared with the starting lineup, although the Eastern team's current lineup has weakened in the inside attack point, the teamwork can be perfect.
&nbs??Or try your best to open up space for your teammates, and don't slack off in the next round just because you didn't catch the ball when you had a chance.
It¡¯s normal for pitchers without the ball to think they have a chance but cannot catch the ball due to objective factors.
On the offensive end, in addition to this simple style of play, there is another point - look for opportunities to counterattack!
Zhang Hao played 5 minutes in the second quarter and had a counterattack dunk that greatly improved the morale of the Western team. After the official timeout in the third quarter, his cut-in, catch and dunk also had the same effect.
But overall, in the middle two quarters, he had little impact on the overall situation and did not play much time. He played 4 minutes in the second quarter and 5 minutes in the third quarter.
After the first three quarters, he played 21 minutes and scored 17 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block. After scoring 11 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists in the first quarter, he only scored 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in the middle two quarters. 1 block.
But he didn¡¯t feel dissatisfied. Instead, he was excited because of the high-level performance of his teammates and opponents in such a game full of All-Star players!
Your teammates and opponents are all so awesome!
In the second quarter, the Eastern team relied on O'Neal's performance of 6 of 8 shots and 4 of 6 free throws to score 16 points. At the end of the half, the Eastern team led the Western team by two points, 76-74, and finished the quarter 44-33.
It was Zhang Hao¡¯s dunk that boosted the Western team¡¯s morale and led them to a wave of 8-3. Otherwise, the point difference would have been even greater after halftime.
In the third quarter, the Eastern team started with an 11-0 run, but before the official timeout, they relied on the super-powerful pick-and-roll combination of Shuangsha + David Robinson, coupled with Richmond and Drakes. Le's precise shooting retaliated with a 15-5 wave. After Zhang Hao came on the court, he took advantage of the speed of Zhang Hao and David Robinson. At the end of the three quarters, the Western team, which was once behind by 13 points, was stunned to catch up to 1 point difference. point.
After three quarters, the Western team trailed the Eastern team by 1 point, 111 to 112, entering the intersection break.
The TV commentator who was originally complaining about Zen Master¡¯s poor defensive adjustment in the first quarter had to admire Zen Master¡¯s vision.
Except for the first 4 minutes of the second quarter, when the Western team must let each All-Star play for a few minutes, Jackson focuses on defense and uses O'Neal to attack. At other times, Jackson is strengthening the offense. It seems brainless, but in fact it is It is the key to the Eastern team's offense getting better and better, and going from a bad start to taking the initiative by the end of the third quarter!
Although the Western team chased the point difference to only 1 point, after the start of the fourth quarter, Jordan and O'Neal took turns to work hard, especially O'Neal, which was extremely strong. Olajuwon and David Robinson both defended individually. It's embarrassing, the Eastern team's mid-range shooters are Jordan and Grant Hill, and the three-point shooter is Terry Brandon. The West dare not double-team easily, and O'Neal is unstoppable in the paint!
At the beginning, the Western Conference team still relied on shooting to hold on to the score, but the truth that the closer to the basket is, the easier it is to score will not change. Even in the three-point era more than 20 years later, those strong three-point teams still score the most points by cutting in. , O'Neal has the tendency to lead the Eastern team to widen the point difference.
After watching the game for more than 3 minutes, O'Neal turned around and deflected Olajuwon's short throw and hit Olajuwon's seventh foul of the game. The score was 125 to 121. As O'Neal made a free throw, the point difference would be stretched to 5 points again, and the Western team called a timeout.
?? 13 of 18 shots, 8 of 13 free throws, scoring 34 points O'Neal started fiercely, so strong that he exploded!
There is nothing the Western team can do. David Robinson can't defend him alone. Although Olajuwon seems to be still at his peak, he once again faced off against O'Neal. It is obvious that he faced O'Neal in the finals last season. O'Neal has the upper hand, and Olajuwon's real state is far from as good as the data seems.
When O'Neal has a defender like Jordan, even if he is only 24 years old, there is no solution! Jordan could always deliver the ball to O'Neal at the position and time O'Neal felt most comfortable with.
If this trend continues, their Western team will lose! However, almost everyone on the Western Team was helpless, from coaches to players. There was no center, O'Neal, and Jordan passing the ball. Olajuwon did a terrible job of causing O'Neal's mistakes
Zhang Hao hasn't played in the fourth quarter yet, and he is very anxious He also feels that there is nothing he can do, O'Neal + Jordan, so powerful!
At this time, when Zhang Hao saw Olajuwon committing 7 fouls on the big screen, breaking the historical record of 6 committed by Chamberlain in the All-Star Game in 1968, he suddenly had an idea!
Involuntarily, and definitely not on purpose, Zhang Hao deftly inserted himself into the gap and came to Del Harris. The players of the Western Team were surrounding the head coach to think of a solution.
The players are also thinking about how to solve the problembut there is no way.
If the game can be won by tactical changes, what else do stars need to do?
Really, no one thought that Jordan + O'Neal would be better than Jordan + Pippen! In the second quarter, the Eastern team quickly took the initiative. Jackson suddenly used Jordan + O'Neal as the core of the offense and played a simple tactic similar to the triangle offense.
At this time, Del Harris saw Zhang Hao getting next to him, and felt something bad
"Coach, I have an idea"
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)?What?
