On the morning of January 23, the Lakers arrived in Seattle.
"Akers, look, the news said that the league was afraid that you really wouldn't come to Seattle to play games last year, so all our games with the Sonics were scheduled for this year."
On the bus from the airport to the hotel, Jason Williams sat next to Zhang Hao with a newspaper.
Zhang Hao glanced at it and was speechless. It was too much of a coincidence to say it was a coincidence.
The news also said that Zhang always likes to tell the truth.
Jason Williams continued to complain: "Akers, you tell me why you are so hated. Reporters in Seattle are also criticizing you. It's all your fault. We are hated wherever we go."
"There is no way. We want to win the championship. We can only beat them when we meet them in the playoffs. And even if they don't meet us, they can't beat the Bulls and the Jazz. We can send them home to rest early. How good. There¡¯s no salary in the playoffs.¡±
""
No matter how many years they have known each other, Jason Williams and Zhang Hao will still have the urge to hit each other when chatting.
As we chatted, we arrived at the hotel, and Zhang Hao escaped from the team bus at light speed.
Watching Zhang Hao disappear like lightning, Jason Williams found that he seemed to have forgotten something. He remembered that he seemed to want to find a topic to talk about first, and then do something What on earth was it?

The impact on strong teams in January was higher than the Lakers expected.
When they met the Hawks, Hornets, 76ers, and Jazz, they played four consecutive games against weak opponents. Because the opponents were much worse than them, whether the adjustments were effective for them, the Lakers had no idea. It felt too big, so everyone from the coaching staff to the players made a wrong judgment - other teams adjusted quickly.
Since the Lakers faced several teams and had a difficult time and lost to the Hornets, the comments from the media and experts also deepened the thoughts of the Lakers coaches and players.
By winning easily against the Suns, the Lakers learned that the Suns are what most teams should be like.
For example, the Sonics, which had a record of 24 wins and 8 losses in the first two game months, now has a record of 30 wins and 12 losses, and has recorded a record of 6 wins and 4 losses in the past period.
The aspect that has been most affected by the Sonics is still three-pointers. Originally, they averaged 9.1 three-pointers per game, ranking first in the league, and even ranked first in the entire NBA history. Their three-point shooting rate of 42.6% also ranked first in the league. second this season.
Gary Payton once averaged 2.1 three-pointers per game with a 37% shooting rate in the early season. He really practiced three-pointers last summer.
But like most ball-holding guards in the league today, his shots are concentrated in the top arc area, similar to Kevin Johnson.
In the past 10 games, Payton still averaged 1.7 three-pointers per game, but his shooting rate was 26.7% and the number of shots was getting less and less.
Payton has a very good ability to adjust and adapt. It can be seen that he has already mastered the three-pointer, and there is still the possibility of improvement in the future. Unlike Jordan, he has taken 14 three-pointers in the past 10 games and made 14 three-pointers. 3, and gave up immediately. You must know that Jordan averaged 3.2 three-pointers per game in the first 32 games, hitting 1.4 times, with a shooting rate of 42.7%. The number of three-pointers taken now is similar to the number of previous hits.
But at least at this stage, Payton has been greatly affected. His playing style needs to be adjusted, and the Sonics' entire offense must also be adjusted accordingly.
At 7 pm on the 24th, the Lakers¡¯ away game against the SuperSonics started.
Payton and Vin Baker are at their peak, and Mrs. Ratley has moved on. So far this season, she has averaged 6.6 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.6 blocks per game, surpassing Mutombo to top the list of blocks. Jose Hawkins and Schrempf both The veteran has continued his excellent form from last season, and the starting lineup is extremely strong.
For the substitute lineup, they paid $3.5 million over two years to dig out veteran Dale Ellis, who averaged 16.6 points per game with the Nuggets last season. So far, he has averaged 1.8 three-pointers per game with a 48.2% three-point shooting rate. points, averaging 12.4 points in 23.2 minutes per game.
Recruited Jerome Corsi from the Lakers and successfully renewed the contract of Aaron Williams.
A one-year, $270,000 basic salary contract brought a high-quality starting point guard from the Grizzlies who has averaged 12 points and 6 assists per game in the past two years.
?? 1-year $3.37 million retained 3D swingman Sam Perkins, plus the giant center McIlvaye who was signed with a huge sum of money
This lineup is extremely luxurious and extremely deep.
If the Lakers meet the SuperSonics in the first two months of the game, it¡¯s hard to say who will lose and who will win. Maybe the Lakers have an advantage in their 17-game winning streak at the beginning, but by mid-to-late December, they may be in a slight disadvantage. .
 ?The relationship between Mourning and Tim Hardaway is okay, but on the court, the two teams have also accumulated some grievances in the past two years, especially the last time they met, Tim Hardaway went berserk in the last quarter and had a near-win. Zhang Hao made a counter-attack.
This is a pure grudge on the court, very simple, and the game is the best solution.
After a round of exchanges with Tim Hardaway, Zhang Hao returned to his bench and listened to the Silver Fox make the final arrangements before the game.
Under his guidance, the coaching staff adjusted tactics in the direction he wanted, but the specific use must be decided by Silver Fox.
In this regard, he still has to learn from the Silver Fox. A head coach who has been coaching in American universities and NBA for more than 20 years has a lot of information, so he can learn from it.
The pre-match preparation time is over and the two teams start the game.
The Heat sent out a starting lineup of Tim Hardaway, Voshan Leonard, Dan Marley, P.J. Brown, and Mourning.
The Lakers sent out a starting lineup of Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Zhang Hao, Jason Williams, and O'Neal.
Tonight, the Lakers put Bogues on the inactive list and activated Sean Lukes.
Zhang Hao walked onto the court and played small forward tonight. It was good, but he was a little regretful when he saw Mashburn on the opposite bench wearing a suit.
Mashburn was injured again. Since being reimbursed for his junior season, it seems that the root of the disease has fallen into place, and his knees have been constantly attacked by injuries.
This super genius who was able to score 50 points in a single game against Pippen in his second year, everyone thought he would become the next superstar. In his third year, he suffered a broken knee and tibia, and no one thought he was going to die. The injury is similar to what Jordan suffered in his sophomore year, just fix it.
But who would have imagined that it hasn¡¯t been smoothed out yet, and the injuries surrounding that knee have never been broken.
Zhang Hao saw the news not long ago that Mashburn, who was 25 years old and entering the prime period of his career, completed a two-year contract extension with the Heat for US$10.62 million.
The timing of Pat Riley's contract extension was also very subtle. It happened to be that Mashburn went to negotiate the contract extension during his injury break
The game was about to start. O'Neal and Mourning came to the center circle and prepared to jump the ball.
Zhang Hao was ready for a fast attack, and suddenly, the system prompt came!
"The inside combination of special contract players Zhang Hao and Shaquille O'Neal is called the strongest offensive twin towers, and the inside combination of P.J. Brown and Alonzo Mourning is called the strongest defensive twin towers. Zhang Hao wants to let the world know , what he and Shaquille O'Neal have is not just defense, but the strongest The fifth phase of the series of tasks: The Wind Rises: Inside Ruler triggers"
"No, when did I think so? I am a small forward tonight! Small! Not big!"

Today is just one chapter. I wanted to write three chapters like yesterday, 15,000 to 6,000 words, but I woke up with a headache in the morning, started to have a fever when I got to the company, and had to go to the hospital for emergency treatment and have to do nucleic acid tests.
After waiting for more than 4 hours to get the report, there was no infection. Only then did they see a doctor. It was like a joke to go to the emergency room together. They waited for more than 4 hours before seeing a doctor. The fever was gone and I was drunk. , you still need to pay for nucleic acid at your own expense, it is more expensive than taking medicine
I started writing as soon as I got home. I wrote a chapter in just over three hours. I¡¯ll do this for today. I¡¯ll try to write more tomorrow at the weekend and set a flag. I¡¯ll update it tomorrow with 3 updates and 15,000 words like yesterday!
That¡¯s it, take a shower, go to bed, good night, please vote for me!
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
