The Lakers and Rockets both regard each other as imaginary enemies. Public opinion also generally believes that the Rockets will be ranked 5th to 7th in the Western Conference and the Lakers will be ranked 1-3. The two teams may compete in the second round of the playoffs. The two teams playing against each other are naturally regarded as potential match-ups in the second round or first round of the playoffs.
The match between the two teams was regarded as a preview of the playoffs. ABC TV and Time Warner Cable Sports, two national-level TV stations, chose to broadcast the game live, which attracted a lot of attention.
At 6:40 pm on the 24th, the two teams entered the Comber Center in Houston.
Old players and young players are always different. After Zhang Hao won the All-Star MVP, Kidd was full of fear and hostility towards Zhang Hao before playing against the Lakers. So when he saw Zhang Hao's eyes looking at the good show, Kidd De's dissatisfaction with Zhang Hao suddenly emerged.
Because Kidd and Zhang Hao are players of the same generation, and their careers have just begun.
¡°But when it comes to Olajuwon¡¯s status, All-Star voting champion, All-Star MVP and other things, it¡¯s natural to be happy if you can get it, but it doesn¡¯t matter if you can¡¯t get it.
Before the game, Olajuwon and Drexler chatted with Magic, Van Exel, and Zhang Hao of the Lakers. The off-court relationship was generally pretty good.
Olajuwon saw that Zhang Hao behaved politely and always used honorifics when he heard Zhang Hao speak. He felt that Zhang Hao was really a gentleman off the court, but thinking about the recent unlucky O'Neal and Kidd Olajuwon was thankful. There are no obvious flaws in my own skills. Otherwise, if I meet this guy, I might be in trouble at the end of the season.
After exchanging pleasantries, Zhang Hao returned to the bench and saw Jason Williams staring at the strange-looking substitute guard opposite him
Zhang Hao had no intention of chatting with Jason Williams, but Jason Williams saw Zhang Hao coming and asked: "Akers, who do you think will win the best sixth man competition between me and Cassel? "
After a comprehensive analysis, Zhang Hao responded: "Kukoc's will win."
With this answer, Jason Williams asked quite dissatisfied: "Isn't it possible for Cassel and I to win the Best Sixth Man Award?"
Jason Williams has averaged 23.6 minutes per game so far this season, averaging 8.6 points and 10.8 rebounds per game. Although his rebounding average per game only ranks tenth in the league, his rebounding efficiency is ridiculously high, higher than Rodman. Rodman averaged 14.4 rebounds in 33 minutes per game.
But based on his overall performance, Zhang Hao feels that Kukoc, who is the core of the Bulls' triangle offense and averages 13 points and 3.5 assists per game, has a slightly higher chance of winning the Best Sixth Man.
However, if the Lakers really finish first in the Western Conference, it's hard to say, but if they are not first in the Western Conference, based on the selection standards of this era, Kukoc has the highest probability of winning the Best Sixth Man.
Although Cassell performed better averaging 14+3+4 per game, it is almost impossible to win the Best Sixth Man.
Of course, at the end of the first half of the season, Jason Williams, Cassell, Sabonis, Dell Curry, Chris Gatlin and others were also predicted to be likely to win the Sixth Man of the Year award, but At that time, Kukoc was predicted to be ranked No. 1.
After re-analyzing, Zhang Hao said to Jason Williams, who was looking at him expectantly: "If looking scary can also add points to the Best Sixth Man vote, you won't be Cassel. opponent."
"Maybe that guy will really scare the reporters into giving him more votes if he looks like that Wait! What do you mean? Stop and don't run!"
Jason Williams responded before he could react. He wanted to hit someone on the spot, but Zhang Hao quickly jumped to the technical table. He could still cheat Zhang Hao with a group of people on the bench, but he went to the technical table in front of everyone He could only sit down bitterly.

"Welcome to the game between the defending champion Rockets and the Lakers on Time Warner Cable Sports. I'm your old friend Hubie."
"I'm Bill."
"Bill, why did you introduce yourself so briefly today? Are you imitating Aix?"
"Don't tell me about Ax!"
"Hey, don't you always say that Akers is more like Bird every time you broadcast a Lakers game and ask him to play for the Celtics when his contract expires?"
¡°No, I don¡¯t like him now!¡±
"Why?"
¡°I have an extra Lakers jersey at home!¡±
"Aix cheated on you? Sorry, I didn't mean anything else, but it's just unlikely, right?"
"Aix cheated on you! He's my son!"
"Your son was cheated by Ax? That's possible. Ax and Luke are the same age. Bill, sorry, tell Luke, this is a mark of growth. Things like appearance are, the defensive end suddenly collapsed from being relatively good, not to being passable or bad, but directly to a black hole.
When the Rockets attack, Zhang Hao shrinks faster this time. As soon as Olajuwon receives the ball, Zhang Hao directly flanks him. His position is also very purposeful, blocking the direction of the top arc.
Olajuwon saw Van Exel's movement, but when Campbell came up to block the bottom line and the space directly to the basket, and Zhang Hao double-attacked to the line, he could only choose to pass the ball to Robert Howe at the first time. Over there.
As soon as Horry received the ball, Van Exel got close to him. Isolations were not his strong point, and he didn¡¯t stick to the ball, so he immediately passed it to Kenny Smith.
When Olajuwon passed the ball, Zhang Hao immediately withdrew from the inside to cover Kenny Smith He did a very good defense this time!
If Kenny Smith chooses his only strength at this stage, catching and shooting three-pointers, then Zhang Hao will most likely be able to interfere or even block him.
But Kenny Smith is not a fool. On the contrary, he may be the smartest player on the Rockets. He has a very high basketball IQ. He breaks through immediately after receiving the ball, passes by Zhang Hao, rushes to close range, and uses his turn to attract Olajuwon. With Campbell's attention, he took a close throw
It's a pity that the Jets who almost stole the title of Human Movie Highlights Dunk King back then are no longer so agile. He jumped up in a hurry and didn't have enough explosive power. He chose to use his elbow to push the ball out, but he didn't control his strength well. , iron!
Campbell stuck Olajuwon, and the Magic took it back from Chucky Brown on the baseline to protect the defensive rebound!
The opportunity has come!
Zhang Hao, who had just stopped and stopped one step inside the three-point line, immediately started again
"Triggered by riding alone (gold), because Zhang Hao is closer to the opponent's basket than all players on the field, this counterattack speed +10"
Riding alone at full power! At the beginning of the game, the speed of Zhang Hao, who was full of energy, soared to 100!
The Rockets players retreated immediately when Magic got the rebound. Drexler and Robert Horry, the two outside players, immediately chased Zhang Haodesperate on the spot!
Zhang Hao was like a bolt of lightning, and both of them had a ridiculous feeling at the same time - they had never seen a player so fast!
Even Damon Stoudemire, who they thought was the fastest player in the league before, seems not as fast as this power forward!
Zhang Hao rushed to the frontcourt to receive a long pass from Magic, rushed to the free throw line, took off with one step, turned 180 degrees with both hands and smashed the ball into the basket!
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
