When Zhang Hao came back on the court, he received enthusiastic cheers from the fans.
By the playoffs, Lakers fans were much more enthusiastic.
Especially seeing Zhang Hao¡¯s poor performance in the first quarter, the fans at the scene wanted to cheer Zhang Hao up.
Zhang Hao was also a little moved
Suddenly, on a whim, I looked around the scene with a confused expression, and then picked my ears with my little finger
April Clark, Britney, and Pierce's mother, who were cheering for Zhang Hao on the sidelines, were stunned.
He actually made fun of his own fans!
Seeing Zhang Hao's "too noisy" action, many fans at the scene directly cursed him!
Magic, Doug Christie, George Lynch, and Donyel Marshall who played together were all concerned about Zhang Hao's state after half a quarter of rest Although they couldn't see anything, Zhang Hao was still the same, but they I hope Zhang Hao can adapt as soon as possible.
It can be clearly seen that although they are supported by Van Exel, their strength is still far behind the regular season. A very important point is that they are a team team after all.
And, among them, Zhang Hao, who averaged 37 minutes per game during his time with the Lakers, is indispensable.
After teasing his fans to relieve the pressure, Zhang Hao looked at the players on the opposite side and got back into the game.
Edney and Richmond continue to play together. Richmond performs really well when paired with such a small point guard. Edney is also capable of holding the ball and scoring when Richmond is heavily defended.
At the small forward position, the Kings sent out rookie Chris Williamson. Zhang Hao has an impression of this player It's not that he played very well. He was picked with the 13th pick and averaged 5.6 points and 2.2 rebounds per game, which is average, but he was an NCAA four-year-old in 1994. Strong game MOP, ability evaluation of 68, 201 cm tall, 111 kg weight, 87 speed, fast and strong swingman.
On the inside, Michael Smith with a height of 203 centimeters and Brian Grant with a height of 206 centimeters were sent.
The three frontcourts all have a tonnage of more than 110 kilograms, and their speed is not bad, they are fast and strong.
Don Lat, the other party was running against the confrontation! The Lakers bully the technical team's style of play!
The intersection break is over, and the Kings attack first.
With Zhang Hao guarding the basket, Edney excitedly advanced to the frontcourt and started a singles game against Doug Christie's defense.
He doesn't have super speed like players of the same height, but it is very difficult to defend Edney alone. He can average 10+6 per game in the NBA with a height of 178 centimeters. Edney's high-frequency movement Cross-step breakthroughs where the ball suddenly changes direction are difficult to guard against! Doug Christie was passed!
This is expected! Doug Christie, who was passed by, immediately turned around and followed up, covering the space for Edney's mid-range pull-up jumper.
Edney rushed inside and did not directly challenge the encirclement of Zhang Hao and Doug Christie. Instead, he rushed all the way to the basket. Brian Grant blocked Doug Christie. Edney used the basket to pick and roll and slipped out of the baseline. He was about to shoot, but as soon as he came out of the basket, he was roughly stuck by Zhang Hao!
It was a very rough confrontation, but Zhang Hao didn¡¯t make any moves with his hands and directly challenged Edney to stop the ball!
George Lynch is indeed the best defensive player on the Lakers' forward line. He used confrontation to interfere with Richmond's response in a timely manner. Edney had no choice but to force the shot in an almost lying back position
Zhang Hao did not hit the ball, nor did he continue to press forward. Instead, after forcing Edney into this position, he quickly retreated, returned to the basket, and blocked Brian Grant on the right side of the three-second zone.
With good luck, Zhang Hao moved in the right direction. Although the ball thrown by Edney in this posture was in the right direction, it was short! The ball hit the left side of the basket and bounced toward the right side of the basket with the force of the throw.
Brian Grant wanted to rely on explosive confrontation and weight to force Zhang Hao to grab the rebound, but found that he had the advantage when he was blocked and couldn't squeeze Zhang Hao!
Zhang Hao¡¯s ¡°rebound protector¡± with a probability of 14 was triggered when the rebound was blocked correctly! Perfectly blocked Brian Grant and collected the defensive rebound!
The first time he got the rebound, Zhang Hao found the magician and passed it out, and then immediately shot it down! Sprinting with all his strength The fast break failed. The opponent's Richmond and Chris Williamson actively retreated and used rough confrontation to block Zhang Hao's quick move.
He almost managed to get away from the two of them by accelerating in the first section of "riding alone", but George Lynch was about to get off, and he was closely followed by Michael Smith. Zhang Hao didn't even accelerate in the first section. can be triggered.
But it doesn¡¯t matter, take your time, Zhang Hao is not in a hurry at all, and calmly falls into the positional warfare attack.
The magician holds the ball and organizes the progress??Slow down.
This is not the rhythm that the Lakers are used to in the regular season, but they have to adapt. Zhang Hao knows that it will probably be like this most of the time in the future. Unless they are very accurate in outside shooting and can still guarantee shooting stability after high confrontation, otherwise, they will have to Habit.
Another point is that the opponent made 10 of 17 shots in the slow pace of the first quarter.
The Lakers, who did not do well on defense in the first quarter, were beaten by the opponent. Although they defended the past 5 rounds, Edney was responsible for 3 of the strikes
The team's defensive problem will definitely not be solved by him, a rookie who has just made some progress in defense.
??This is something he has a clear understanding of himself.
But he knows he has a group of teammates he can trust, so now, he just needs to focus on himself and do what he feels he should do now.
Confidence is very important. He believes in his own judgment about what he should do.
¡¡
After the timeout, the Lakers made no substitutions. The Kings replaced Edney with the best guard in world basketball, Sanunas Mathilionis.
Richmond and Owens come on the court, and Michael Smith and Brian Grant are still on the inside.
Due to political reasons, Mathieu Leonis only entered the NBA at the age of 26. He has almost always been a substitute. However, he averaged 18+3+3 per game once and 17+3+3 per game as a substitute. He has a smart mind. , although he is white, his playing style is tough.
Richmond and Owens are both players known for their isolations, and they are also very good at catching and shooting from the top.
As Zhang Hao expected, the Kings will not be defeated so easily. The opponent may be more motivated to win the first game than the Lakers.
The Kings, who replaced the three outsiders who played critical moments in advance, had a very anxious game with the Lakers for a long time.
Zhang Hao was not in a hurry, he calmly did what he had to do, which also made other Lakers players who were a little impetuous calm down.
When you are replaced, you play well, and when you are replaced, you analyze and summarize what you did well and poorly. Del Harris controls the rotation of players, and the division of labor is clear.
??Obviously, the offensive end is limited by the problem of ball-holding ability, and his experience needs to be strengthened. Zhang Hao cannot perform as well as in the regular season.
But at least it¡¯s not holding you back anymore, and occasionally you can still have an invincible counterattack.
Furthermore, he showed in another direction that he is the kind of player who can adapt to the playoffs - defense!
He is invincible when it comes to confrontation and movement as a center, and his static physical condition is also quite good
It is obvious that when facing a team like the Kings that does not have a strong inside line or forward, he can protect the frame better than Campbell!
Patiently doing what he should do, trying his best every second of the playing time, not sparing any physical strength Finally, in the fourth quarter, after Zhang Hao made a counterattack, he felt that the opportunity had come, and he already felt that his physical strength had reached At his limit, he silently picked up the jersey
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
