Zhang Hao felt that there was no reason why the magician wanted to be lazy, because if he was playing tactics, the magician would definitely have to bear a lot of heavy responsibilities, almost the one with the most work except Kenny Anderson.

Because after adjustments in training camp and preseason, Zhang Hao's position in tactics has become a simple ending point.

What he told Curry Jr. just shoot with this group of people is not just talking casually, but he really hopes that it can be like that.

Just shoot, how happy!

But reality gave him a surprise - except for Boss Kenny who did his best, two of the other three big guys who could play games were fishing!

If O'Neal was not injured, he would probably be able to catch fish!

Zhang Hao brainstormed for a while and chose to accept his fate.

What else can I do?

Just fight!

Also, after the Magician said this, Zhang Hao found that he was really too obsessed with tactics and wanted to see all his team's talents show, and was looking forward to seeing the imagined invincible situation.

But the reality is that stars can complement each other, but they will also restrict each other.

Whether it is complementary or restricting each other, it is actually quite extreme, and most of the time it is to accommodate.

Experienced Magicians knew early in the morning that they most likely would not have the chance to become a team that cooperated nearly perfectly last season, and even the regular season record was unlikely to achieve a good record of 65 wins. Their new combination is not a perfectly matched superstar combination such as Pippen + Jordan + Rodman, but a combination of stars with many overlapping characteristics.

Of course, the magicians definitely want to see the coordination as much as possible, so they are very serious when training. Even if they cannot run in as they imagined, they can find more points of fit and produce more small-scale cooperation. It is not bad.

But Zhang Hao has such a fantastic teammate for the first time, and the team cooperation was so good last season, so he naturally looked forward to the new season from the best perspective.

Now that the beautiful fantasy is exposed, Zhang Hao feels a little depressed, but look at Barkley, look at Kenny Anderson, and O'Neal who thought of going back to Los Angeles to rest after playing the Knicks...

"If you play star tactics, just play star tactics! There are so many stars in our field!"

"And we haven't fought with O'Neal as the simple cooperation with the protagonist of tactical..."

Thinking of this, Zhang Hao became happy.

The Hornets are in good condition, but according to Larry Johnson's normal value, it may be more expensive than the entire Hornets' interior group. The Hornets cannot trade Larry Johnson with their current interior group and the Knicks.

In terms of conventional performance, the Hornets are indeed much better than last season, but with players like Larry Johnson, there is a possibility of raising the team's upper limit and creating miracles in the game.

Let Zhang Hao choose his teammate last season or his current teammate. Although he likes last season's team very much, if he asked him to choose at the end of last season, he would choose the lineup of last season without hesitation, and everyone will work hard to improve together... But now, I have felt the strength of Barkley when he played against the Knicks, and Kenny Anderson's performance is more stable than Van Exel.

Multiple choice questions are sometimes very simple...

...

The Lakers felt it was difficult for the Hornets to deal with, and the Hornets were also very nervous.

However, the Hornets players are very confident now. They can see that although the Lakers on the opposite side look strong... they are actually very powerful, but their performance is not stronger than their Hornets! They have the opportunity to win, cooperate better, and take the initiative in the game!

When the Hornets came back in the second half, the Hornets sent a combination of Boggs, Dell Curry, Glenn Rice, Anthony Mason Jr. and Matt Geiger.

The Lakers sent a combination of Kenny Anderson, Derek Fisher, George Lynch, Jeromy Colsey and Zhang Hao.

The Hornets attacked first, and Boggs advanced to the frontcourt. Seeing that it was not Zhang Hao's defense, he decisively singled out Kenny Anderson, and after breaking through to the basket, he encountered Zhang Hao's attack.

Zhang Hao's clamping action did not cause Boggs to make a mistake or had to block the shot, but covered the space under the basket. Matt Geiger judged that the ball could not be received by the basket, so he pulled it out and Boggs passed the ball...

Matt Geiger opened the position and took a step inside the free throw line. Within three seconds, he could shoot and immediately shot when he received the ball, and did not give Zhang Hao a chance to make up for it... Unfortunately, he didn't make it.

The second-level threat is interfered with, and try to strangle the scoring points directly and easily, put the smallest threat point, and standard playoff-style defense.

Zhang Hao grabbed the defensive rebound and handed it to Kenny Anderson and ran to the frontcourt.

After arriving at the frontcourt, Zhang Hao did not go to the inside line, stayed outside the three-point line at the 45-degree angle on the left, Matt Geiger did not expand outward, Anthony Mason Jr. defended, and when Anthony Mason Jr. just arrived in the three-point line, he stopped in one step. Before he could stand still, Zhang Hao suddenly stepped up and stuck in the left rear of Anthony Mason Jr., and cut in!

Kenny Anderson passed the ball at the first time, and Zhang Hao received the ball and broke through the basket!

Anthony Mason, Little, wanted to turn around at the first time, but was still a beat slower. Moreover, Zhang Hao blocked him and Zhang Hao rushed in. Anthony Mason, Little, has just started! He can't catch up!

After rushing to the left sideline of the three-second zone, Zhang Hao grabbed the ball and faced Matt Geiger's defense and went straight up! After jumping up to fight together, Zhang Hao pushed the ball out with his fingertips, and the ball flew out and hit the rebound and bounced into the frame!

"oh……"

The fans at the half-time, especially the bottom-line fans, couldn't help but exclaim.

This ball looks too exaggerated! The visual feeling is that Zhang Hao passed Anthony Mason in one step, took two steps to get the ball, and made a layup directly!

Matt Geiger's defensive movement this time was pretty good, but with his ability, he could only play a role in confronting Zhang Hao's more physical energy, and had no impact on Zhang Hao's work at all.

This is a way of cutting into the outside line by James Worthy, which is simple and rough. The outside line is taller by speed, or the shorter player is stuck behind him. After receiving the ball and dribbling into the inside line, James Worthy relies on bounce in the air to do his job, and Zhang Hao uses it easier. When he jumps up inside, he doesn't need to jump with all his strength. His height brings great convenience.

However, this move is quite expensive. If you take action against the confrontation, the consumption will definitely be greater. Zhang Hao has been thinking about how to fight for longer and how to make more contributions.

But now, he is ready to think about it, just swing it himself!

It really doesn't work. Isn't it still Barkley and the Magician? Barkley is lazy. The Magician is old and has no choice but to drive the entire team with one force. Isn't there Boss Kenny?

In short, after listening to the Magician's words, when facing a powerful opponent, Zhang Hao felt that he could think more simply about his personal playing style.

And, isn't it enough to just shoot? The same...

For some reason, Kenny Anderson felt that his shoulders were heavier, and he didn't know why.

When the Hornets attacked, this time, Matt Geiger was given a chance to catch the ball, but Anthony Mason Jr. cut in, and Matt Geiger immediately passed the ball to the basket at high and low posts.

Zhang Hao keenly took it back. Anthony Mason, little, struggled to find the attack space between George Lynch behind him and Zhang Hao in front of him, and threw the shot... and almost made a shot!

The Lakers have already defended this ball well, and they are definitely a fairy ball.

Generally speaking, such goals will dampen the enthusiasm of the defenders. At this time, Zhang Hao went to pick up the ball with a blank expression, making his teammates feel that it was not that big deal.

When the Lakers attacked, Zhang Hao continued to play the same offense as in the last round.

His move seems simple, but it is difficult to defend! And it is even more difficult to defend than James Worthy himself. James Worthy has to wait for the change of defense when using this move. Zhang Hao doesn't need it. As long as Matt Geiger on the opposite side does not expand, he will play against anyone who fights big or small. As long as he is not a defender, he basically has a speed advantage!

Keep cutting!

Kenny Anderson passed the ball and grabbed the opportunity. Anthony Mason Jr. was prepared this time and took the initiative to retreat. Zhang Hao took the initiative to lean on the line and walked off the line to bypass Anthony Mason Jr., Kenny Anderson's pass happened to arrive. The timing was accurate and predictable!

When Zhang Hao broke to the left of the three-second zone, the clamping blocked the left of the three-second zone, and the space under the basket was blocked! This was when Zhang Hao saw Kenny Anderson who came to the free throw line, and immediately passed it out.

Kenny Anderson received the ball, and his hand kept making the ball on the right side. Doug Christie, on the weak side, received the ball from the three-point line on the right and retreated to the outside of the three-point line, and received the ball and made a three-pointer...

Hit!

The cooperation was very beautiful. Kenny Anderson keenly judged the opponent's possible defensive movements and took the initiative to move towards the position that was most suitable for the response to Zhang Hao. He was already observing his teammates' movements before the response. When Dell Curry retracted to restore George Lynch to the right of the three-second zone, Kenny Anderson's first reaction to receiving the ball was to pass it to Doug Christie.

These two goals made the Hornets a little confused - I haven't seen this guy use this style of play!

Not once in the first two games!

Not to mention the Hornets, even the Lakers did not expect Zhang Hao to play like this. Everyone thought Zhang Hao would attack from behind-the-single, so Kenny Anderson was not surprised by what kind of performance Zhang Hao played, and he thought of a way to cooperate immediately.

The magician also saw that Zhang Hao's playing style was learned by Xia Tian and James Worthy, but the magician did not expect that Zhang Hao would use this move to be more sharp. If Zhang Hao could practice a quick stop jump shot, then this move would be completely unsolvable.

However, when the opponent's center forward's ability to protect the frame is not good enough, in terms of the current game, it is already impossible to solve!

Zhang Hao was also a little surprised. Originally, he just thought that if he kept Anthony Mason at mid-to-middle distance, he would encounter assisted defense if he wanted to break in, so he simply pulled it out and pulled it out. He found that Anthony Mason was no longer in the inside, and the opponent's Clifford Robinson was not there. Why not just cut in?

Then, I found it really works!

He had never thought about this. He expected that his playing style was Barkley and O'Neal in the interior. The way he played directly at the basket might have a position conflict. Now, if O'Neal was behind Matt Geiger just now, he would just have to catch up and catch up. George Lynch and Barkley were so tall that they might not notice the movement of the weak side without the ball, but O'Neal was so big, no problem!

This reflects the importance of actual combat. No matter how you practice in training, you will only know what you are most suitable for at present, what aspects need to be strengthened, and what kind of reinforcement can be effective instead of blindly exploring.

The defense with the characteristics of the playoffs will create a multiple-choice question for the opponent, easily create opportunities for a non-planned shooting point with low grasp, or is it a more difficult game star?

For such multiple-choice questions, the Lakers will choose to do it themselves instead of letting George Lynch shoot unreliable close-range shots.

But it was a bit difficult to put the Hornets. In the past, Larry Johnson would make a decisive choice, but now, even Glenn Rice is not that type of player.

To make the Hornets have such a choice problem, one must ensure a point of success rate of the Lakers.

Zhang Hao suddenly changed his playing style and got it done!

In fact, Zhang Hao was still having a headache when he was on the court, how could he play a threat point? Anthony Mason, who had a 113 kilogram back, was also in trouble. Unexpectedly, hey, once a try, the method came naturally!

Of course, the premise for being able to do well is his hard work in strength and basic skills during the offseason!

Zhang Hao is getting more and more excited as he fights. What does it mean to eat all over the world with one move? After enjoying the joy of playing opponents with insufficient tonnage using backs, now when facing opponents with sufficient tonnage and moving quickly in the inside, he has new happiness - the outside cutting into the strong breakthrough!

After Zhang Hao rushed up, the Hornets had no way to get up and block the outside line after Zhang Hao rushed up. Boggs, who was 160 cm or 130 catties, would he block the sprint of the inside line with 206 catties, claiming to be 206 cm? Or would he ask his godson and his father to block it?

In order to solve this problem, during the official timeout in the third quarter, the Hornets scored 64-68 in 4 minutes and 22 seconds in the third quarter, and replaced Matt Geiger with Clifford Robinson.

This time the substitution did solve the two major problems of the Hornets. There is no need to worry about relying on the stars or shooting steadily when attacking, and it also solved the problem of Zhang Hao having no forward line to block the attack.

But no matter how ordinary Matt Geiger is, he is also a 213-centimeter big center. This 1992 center has no worries about the contract at all. Wherever the contract expires, it starts with a star contract of $5 million. In ordinary terms, he is also a threat to the players who cut into the basket.

Without Matt Geiger, Clifford Robinson was replaced, and Zhang Hao's cutting was indeed curbed, but George Lynch and Barkley who were in the rotation were having fun!

Barkley became active when he had the opportunity to score easily. He was not active, mainly because he didn't want to play singles. With Kenny Anderson, he felt that he could play singles without having to encounter difficulties. How tired he was, but Zhang Hao attracted the defense and cut in and scored. He should not be more active.

The problem with this playing style lies in consumption. Zhang Hao started at full speed from the three-point line and had to reach a truly threatening point before he could complete the work of creating easy scoring opportunities for his teammates.

So, the Hornets are waiting and waiting!

Zhang Hao's playing style is used by a player with a similar playing style in more than ten years. That player played like this, and he made 20 shots in a game, and he always finally hit his shooting percentage to 50%. Zhang Hao made more than ten times in a quarter of the game, and his purpose was to create opportunities for his teammates. The future person felt incredible when he saw his template playing like this video...

Finally, at the end of the third quarter, Zhang Hao could no longer rush and stood outside the three-point line and waited for the ball to catch it, leaving it to Kenny Anderson for a while.

At this time, the Hornets felt that they had a chance. Although the terrifying gentleman on the other side was led by the team 29-21 in the first 10 minutes of the third quarter, they went from leading two points to falling behind by 6 points, but the opportunity came!
To be continued...
