181. Crazy playoff debut!(1/2)
After playing in the fourth quarter, Zhang Hao had just completed a counterattack layup, and the score became 74-71, and the Lakers maintained a slight lead.
Before this, both teams had led the way, but only reached 8 points at most.
The first game is very important. In the history of the first round of the NBA playoffs, the probability of promotion of the teams who won the first round of the first round is as high as 86%. Even if it expands to all rounds of the entire playoffs, the probability of promotion of the teams who won the first round of the series is as high as two-thirds.
Among the teams who completed the lower squad in the first round, 91% of the teams won the first game first.
Originally, it was never possible to win the eighth division and win the first division, but after the Nuggets did it the same year ago, the teams ranked eighth had their ideas.
And it seems that this year's Lakers may not be as strong as the Supersonics, which won 63 times two years ago.
In Chinese, the idea of describing the Nuggets' eighth division after completing the first Black Eighth in history is to enter the playoffs - is there any king, prince, general and minister?
Even Lakers players have experienced one thing in this game until now - they are not as easy as playing in the playoffs.
But as the commentator of CNN said - the Lakers have a bright future, what does the Kings have?
Just now, the Lakers led by 1 point, and the Kings almost scored a goal that overtaked the score, but failed. Zhang Hao was quick to get off after Jason Williams protected the rebound, and looked exhausted and kept efficient in the fast break and scored two points.
However, the fans at the scene watched Zhang Hao running back slowly, and they were obviously exhausted...
So far, Zhang Hao has played for 27 minutes and has devoted all his strength to the defensive end. Almost every time he succeeds in defense, he does not hesitate to work hard to get off the stamina. In addition, there is always extra physical energy consumption when he is not experienced and ignores the defense. Everyone can see how much he consumes!
The large screen on site was given to Zhang Hao.
The live TV footage was also given to him.
At this time, everyone who was watching this game saw Zhang Hao, who was originally expressionless, suddenly put the collar of his jersey in his mouth, supported his knees with his hands, and looked at Richmond who was pushing towards him.
The camera changed its angle and pointed it at Zhang Hao's face. Through the live screen and live TV screen, everyone who watched this game saw the excitement in Zhang Hao's eyes!
The man was moved, and in an instant, the person who saw this scene felt that he was ignited!
After Zhang Hao ran back after completing the counterattack, the cheers that had just stopped sounded again! And it was even more explosive!
The fans at the scene felt that Zhang Hao was exhausted, and he was still full of desire for victory and love for the game.
In fact, Zhang Hao is correct in this situation, but the excitement in his eyes comes from the subtitles prompts-
"Peter's physical strength pool (Bronze) triggered, Zhang Hao's physical strength value recovered to 33%, and after judgment, it will be restored to his physical strength state at the beginning of the second half..."
Feeling my heartbeat calmed down, and the feeling of exploding my lungs quickly fading away...
The bet is right!
It is calculated based on playing time!
During the halftime break, he calculated the time point to use this medal and clamped the time point. He was actually powerless in the first two rounds, but he held on for two rounds and waited for nearly a minute, and delayed until his playing time in the second half reached half of the first half, and the bet was right!
Regarding how to use this medal more accurately in the future, Zhang Hao put it aside and devoted himself to the defense.
After Edney pushed forward, he passed the ball to Richmond. Looking at Zhang Hao who was guarding the basket, Edney suddenly felt that he was afraid to break in.
Richmond, who had already scored 26 points, continued to perform well in the fourth quarter. He was the superstar who was enough to compete with Drexler and Spreville for the second point guard.
This time, Richmond did not miss the singles. Facing Doug Christie's defense, Richmond turned around and broke through to get a mid-range shot that was hit by a quick stop and jump!
The movements were done in one go, extremely smooth, and it was too late to foul.
73 to 74, the Kings were still 1 point behind, and the Kings players cheered up and retreated quickly.
Zhang Hao completed two rounds before the fast break, and the Kings did a similar thing, narrowing the gap to 1 point, then defending, and having the chance to overtake the score, but failed.
This time, they want to defend the Lakers again and create that opportunity.
Zhang Hao judged that there was no chance to counterattack. The opponent's speed of retreating was so fast that he could not score even if he ran over after serving.
Without deliberately speeding up, Zhang Hao ran over slowly as slowly as he fell into the position after the fourth quarter.
Doug Christie also pushed forward with the rhythm. The other three players on the Lakers were Magic, Jason Williams and Anthony Pierre.
The Kings' lineup is Edney, Richmond, Owens, Michael Smith, and Polynis.
Doug Christie handed the ball to the Magic after he arrived at the frontcourt, then pulled it away, ready to receive singles at any time.
Zhang Hao slowly ran out of the basket and came to the middle distance of the left baseline. The Kings defended Doug Christi on the left side of the three-second zone, and Richmond, who had no ball without the ball, immediately changed with Polynis. Michael Smith replaced defense, Michael Smith expanded to defend Doug Christi, Polynis retreated to the basket, and Richmond replaced defense to Zhang Hao.
The Kings are very careful in their defense. Doug Christie's cutting ability is not good, and the main reason is to prevent Zhang Hao from turning around and cutting in the middle distance. Polinis cannot defend, and Zhang Hao obviously cannot make an open shot. Even if Zhang Hao's shooting is not very good tonight, the scoring is almost entirely due to counterattacks and free throws.
As long as he is close and does not give Zhang Hao a chance to catch the ball, Richmond is quite confident about his sideways. He is not afraid that Zhang Hao will turn around and gain weight to 98 kilograms after his leg injury, which is enough tonnage.
But beyond Richmond's expectations, Zhang Hao immediately leaned on him to ask for the ball when he saw a change of defense!
Tonight, Zhang Hao encountered a rough defense because of receiving the ball. He made a mistake in passing the ball in the first quarter. He had almost never had to play singles since the second quarter!
But the magician on the outside did not hesitate. Seeing Zhang Hao asking for the ball, he passed it decisively. He knew that Zhang Hao would not act irritably.
Just when Richmond was stunned for a moment and immediately focused on preparing for defense, he saw Zhang Hao turn his head down and look at him...
"Hey, Mr. Richmond."
"?" Richmond did not answer, and his expression expressed doubts.
Zhang Hao showed a rare expression and smiled: "Do you believe in the existence of light?"
What's the meaning?
As soon as Richmond showed a hint of confusion, he saw Zhang Hao lower his center of gravity and quickly focused on lowering his center of gravity to move horizontally or withstand the impact.
The Kings players have felt Zhang Hao's power several times and know it is difficult to prevent it, but now Richmond feels that he can control it. Zhang Hao can't run any longer, he has confidence... FUC...
Richmond's confidence was shattered by an elbow!
Zhang Hao knocked Richmond back into the three-second zone with three consecutive impacts. Before Polynis panickedly made up for defense, he turned over and made a close jump shot as steady as leaning against a wall!
After Zhang Hao landed, he turned around and retreated without looking back. Jason Williams was so happy! He was so familiar with the scene where Zhang Hao turned his head and spoke to Richmond just now. Although he didn't hear what Zhang Hao was saying, he could guess!
Jason Williams shouted at Richmond before retreating, "You must always believe in the light!"
Zhang Hao completed his retreat with brisk steps, and the fans on the scene felt incredible! Not to mention the fans on the scene, the players on the Lakers felt incredible!
After 9 minutes of fighting in the second half, Zhang Hao was almost at a loss, but he didn't seem to be pretending. If he could really pretend, he would have to make a lot of money and play basketball if he didn't shoot movies and TV series?
The magician who ran back asked curiously: "Aix, you are physically..."
"I took a walk just now after two rounds."
“…”
That's outrageous!
What kind of tiger and wolf word is this?
No matter so much, I hope it is coming! Before Van Exel rests well, Zhang Hao can hold on to the positional battle!
The Kings were holding on to a rush to overtake the score at the beginning, but they seemed to have hope for both attacks, but they were destroyed by Zhang Hao with one hand.
This made the Kings a little impatient. Edney slowed down for a round and started to break through. He played well in the breakthrough. Zhang Hao moved in time, but Edney seized the opportunity to get the basket.
Polynis did not block the person, but grabbed Zhang Hao and turned into the basket, and received the ball.
But who knew that Polinis was anxious to dunk the ball and smashed the basket!
This mistake made the rest of the Kings swear and quickly retreat.
Just a positional war?
Obviously not. When you fight back, Zhang Hao is even more powerful!
Seeing Jason Williams rushing in to grab the board, Zhang Hao rushed out directly to the frontcourt.
Compared with the fast attack two rounds ago, Zhang Hao was faster this time!
With everyone, including teammates, showing incredible gazes, Zhang Hao was the first to rush to the opposite three-point line!
The Magician quickly made a long pass, and Zhang Hao even waited for a while before receiving the ball, and he made a layup with two steps when he was walking.
This time, it was really shocking!
Zhang Hao used to have counterattacks after his physical strength declined, and it was also very powerful, so Zhang Hao's counterattack did not surprise others before.
They knew that it wasn't that Zhang Hao was really as fast as the beginning of the game, but that everyone overall slowed down due to their physical strength. Zhang Hao's counterattack speed was actually declining, but his counterattack was just so fast.
Looking at Zhang Hao running back, the magician recalled the last time Zhang Hao ran back was a conversation between him and Zhang Hao...
"I'll have a rest together?"
genius!
This talent is simply!
The magician was shocked and felt it was exaggerated, but he didn't think there was anything contrary to common sense.
The top NBA player, whoever is like Superman in ordinary people, even if he is like Stockton, is like Superman in ordinary middle-aged uncles.
To be honest, Zhang Hao's strong recovery ability is not very special in the eyes of the magician.
But it is the most practical talent as a basketball player!
No matter how hard you can run or jump, it will be useless if you don’t have good physical strength!
73 to 78, the Kings were 5 points behind! Looking at the rookie opposite, Richmond, the superstar who competed for the first point guard with Drexler, Spreville, and Reggie Miller before Jordan's comeback, he was also panicked!
Zhang Hao, who had already scored 6 points in the fourth quarter, scored to 25 points!
To be continued...
