210. New genre - Rogue Stream!(1/2)
On November 6, at noon the second day of the second game between the Lakers and the Hornets, when the Lakers returned to Los Angeles, Zhang Hao was already popular!
After the first five games, each team has played at least 3 games.
The media will divide a season into multiple stages, and this year, it has divided a "new season opening stage" from the early stage of the season. When T.N.T put forward this statement, major media have used it. In this way, there is another time point every year without worrying about no news writing.
The first three games of each team have been played, which is the opening stage of the new season. Each team and major stars have a headache.
The defending champion Bulls looked no worse at the start than last year. They averaged 92 points per game in the first three games, and scored 99 points per game, scoring 33 points per game; Pippen averaged 22 points and 7 assists per game; Rodman averaged 6 points and 15 rebounds per game, and is still super strong.
The Hornets started with 4 games in 5 days and performed amazingly in the first three games. Although they lost in the fourth game, they only looked at the first three games, and their performance was definitely surprising.
The Jazz are also surprising. In previous years, they were not outstanding in playing strong teams in the regular season, but they became strong this year's regular season, and they defeated the Spurs, Heat, and Knicks in a row at the beginning.
The unlucky teams include the Heat and the Knicks. They look really good, but the Knicks have a ghost. They meet the Lakers in the opening game, and the Jazz again in the third game, with 1 win and 2 losses. The Heat are also sad. They play so happily in the opening game against the Pistons and beat the opponent. Then, they meet the Jazz and the Hornets who are 1 win and 2 losses. Riley's master and apprentice become brothers and brothers. Riley and Van Gundy's teams are temporarily out of the top eight in the East.
The Heat and the Knicks have 1 win and 2 losses. People can still understand it. I am lucky. There are too few cases in three games. If there are too many games, I guess the record will not be too bad. Judging from the lineup, at least 55 wins, Mo Ning and Ewing's condition is also very gratifying.
But it is really surprising that two of the popular teams have been hard to win until now.
The Rockets defeated the Bulls in the opening game, and were defeated by the Hawks in the second game. They returned to their home court to play against the Timberwolves in the third game. Facing Garnett and Gugliotta, Olajuwon only scored 15 points and 9 rebounds, while Garnett scored 20 points and 21 rebounds, Gugliotta scored 29 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. Even Drexler made 9 of 13 shots tonight and scored 22 points and 7 assists, and Divac scored 18 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists, it was hard to hide the defeat!
Overall, Olajuwon averaged 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2.7 blocks in the first three games, but compared to his high spirits who just won two consecutive championships last season, it seems that there is something missing.
The Rockets lost another reason - they sent Horry, Kenny Smith, and Cassel away, and introduced Divac, Kevin Willis, and Matt Brad. The inside line has become much stronger, but the outside line has been greatly weakened. Although I was lucky enough to find a point guard Matt Marlonney who averaged 11 points and 3 assists in the first three games in the undraft, he was still much weaker and needed to adjust his playing style or continue to adjust his lineup.
The Spurs' three-game losing streak at the beginning was purely a ***.
David Robinson passed a summer and it seemed that his foot injury was still not healed. He didn't play much in the preseason. In the regular season, he averaged only 25 minutes per game in the first three games, and his efficiency was very high, averaging 1 assist and 1 block per game. However, anyone with a discerning eye could tell something was wrong.
According to local media reports, David Robinson's feet did not heal all summer long, but every time he went to the team doctor for examination, the team doctor's diagnosis was fine, just keep it, and then he really kept it for a summer...and then, it still didn't heal!
After David Robinson was replaced after only 18 minutes of opening game, he did not play, and the Spurs lost to the Jazz in the opening game, a local hospital in San Antonio went to Los Angeles and the hospital diagnosed by David Robinson for a joint consultation - a consultation that neither the Spurs nor David Robinson participated.
After detailed and careful analysis, a consensus conclusion was drawn - David Robinson's cartilage was overstretched last year. Now, it is basically no different from being broken. The worst case is tissue necrosis near the broken cartilage.
Then, the hospital where the Spurs team's doctor team was located came out to refute the rumors.
In the end, the news did not become popular and it was left unresolved.
When the Lakers ended their three consecutive wins last night in Game 3 of the new season, the Lakers "helped" the Spurs to suppress the limelight.
Zhang Hao scored 41 points and became the first player to win 40+ in a single game for two consecutive seasons!
Jordan's stability is also outrageous. He scored 32 points in the opening game, 35 points in the second game, and 32 points in the third game. This stable level is even more outrageous. In more than three months, Jordan will be 34 years old.
Jordan, who scored 99 points in the first three games, and Glenn Rice, who scored 100 points in the first three games, were originally the two players with the best offensive performance in their personal offense.
But after last night, there was a change - Zhang Hao scored 101 points in the first three games!
The key is Zhang Hao's 41 points last night, and the Lakers slaughtered the Hornets by 24 points. Although the Hornets performed well at the start and the Lakers beat the Hornets, which was a bit surprising, but it was acceptable.
That's the team with Kenny Anderson, Magic, Zhang Hao, and Barkley.
The Lakers won the game by relying on personal heroism, which is not surprising. Barkley's opening game proved that his form is no worse than last season.
However, it was not Barkley, or even Kenny Anderson, but Zhang Hao, who helped the Lakers turn around and win the game with their personal abilities. That was surprising.
Just like the Hornets thought that Zhang Hao's tactical status declined, most people also think so.
No matter from any perspective, with Barkley and Kenny Anderson, the Lakers would not let Zhang Hao play. Last year, only Van Exel, and Zhang Hao was used to play with it. And last year, 90% of the Lakers' time was team playing.
Judging from the first two games, as people expected, what was shown in the game was that Zhang Hao's tactical decline was no longer the Lakers' first and second shooting point. Even if Zhang Hao played well in the first two games, he was simply a catch-and-shooting shot. Unless Zhang Hao felt bad, his shooting percentage would be very good.
This is not surprising. Zhang Hao's exaggerated preparation time before the game was famous.
But in the second half of the third game, everything changed...
With the Lakers' strongest fat man injured and the second strongest fat man paddling, Zhang Hao stood up and led the Lakers to win the game!
The new style of play that Zhang Hao showed in the game last night became popular in the sports news program this morning!
Facing the Hornets with Clifford Robinson and Anthony Mason Jr., Zhang Hao's back-playing back-playing from low post or mid-range back-playing was not easy, and it was not easy to turn around.
But Zhang Hao came up with a new trick, cutting into the ball and getting a layup with one to two steps!
The extremely simple and crude style of play, but it looks so exaggerated that the Hornets had to use a double-defense forward to stop it.
This led the Lakers' offense, causing the Lakers to defeat the Hornets, which had always taken the initiative in the front from the third quarter to the first half of the fourth quarter!
Monotonous personal offensive skills often represent inefficiency, and even Jordan is constantly comprehensiveizing his technology.
But Zhang Hao's move is a bit similar to his back attack when facing a player whose strength is not as strong as his. It is purely a trick to cheat!
There are also new things that can be seen. Zhang Hao's poor ball control last season has made great progress this year.
The finishing ability at the basket has also become stronger, and there have been obvious progress in the outbreak and confrontation, and the attacks in the confrontation are more stable.
But in total, this trick is so simple but hard to prevent like a bug. This way of playing looks like a scoundrel, but it works!
Moreover, before a new situation appeared, the media analyzed it.
When encountering a sufficient tonnage and sufficient close-range movement ability but insufficient relatively long distance movement ability, Zhang Hao pulled out and played the ball and cut or break through.
When Zhang Hao encountered a person with insufficient tonnage but his movement ability was fast enough, he went to the back to fight.
He can attack independently in these two moves, but it gives people the feeling that he can't do anything to him.
So, a strange argument appeared - is Zhang Hao just thinking about developing those tricks?
Some media joked that Zhang Hao had created a new genre - the rogue stream.
However, this kind of rogue playing style is really good in terms of viewing. Compared to the previous back hit, it is indeed extremely ornamental, and it is quite difficult to copy.
The media also carefully analyzed Zhang Hao's move. The technique is simple, but combined with his physical condition, it is not simple. With his body shape and athletic ability, it is basically impossible to practice his basic shooting skills like his, which is even more unsimple.
Whether it is a rogue or effective, in short, Zhang Hao's performance in the second half last night made him unexpectedly go wild again and then become popular again as he did in the new season as he did in the rookie season!
...
When Zhang Hao saw the narration in the afternoon news, he turned off the TV silently, afraid that he would not be able to stop smashing the remote control, which would be a big loss.
What is a rogue stream?
Is it not good to play simple and rough?
A scoundrel is a scoundrel!
But there was an analysis that he thought made a lot of sense, and it was consistent with his idea after reviewing the game last night - just play two simple moves, rogue's back-to-back + rogue's cutting-to-in.
Whatever you love!
However, considering the stronger defense opponents, such as the Knicks, as well as the Bulls, Heat, Jazz... The Rockets are hard to say. Zhang Hao remembers that Olajuwon finally relied on his opponents to win a set-up in the season. His performance at the beginning was a little clumsy, but he might be better in the future, and he came back from the pain of losing three consecutive championships...
In terms of independent offense, it is not enough to just alternate back-to-shoot and cutting-to-shooting styles. This core style is the best that his skills can do at this stage. It is difficult to think of better ones, but it can be improved.
Last night, thinking about the review mode for a night, Zhang Hao made a decision - develop an emergency stop jump shot!
Turn around and stop jump shot, cut into the receiving ball and stop jump shot, don’t need too much, these two moves are enough for the time being.
This is based on his policy of making it more stable mid-range shots, still able to control the ball, stronger finishing ability at the basket, and better strength.
"It is better to play the basic skills solidly, otherwise this approach will not be developed. The basic skills should not be slackened and continue to strengthen them!"
Zhang Hao is gradually becoming more and more fond of appearing in the spotlight, but he can selectively filter some miscellaneous remarks and devote himself to thinking about how to strengthen new styles of play the next day after the game. The impact of his performance last night was greater than he thought.
Kenny Anderson returned to Los Angeles and returned to the rented villa. He was still very happy. He was even happier when he saw the news!
Zhang Hao was very dazzling in the first two games, but Kenny Anderson was the one who supported the bottom. Zhang Hao only played a role in improving his performance. In the second half of the third game, Kenny Anderson finally felt that he had a helper!
For other players, the Magicians don’t have to worry about Kenny Anderson. Doug Christie is a qualified helper on the offensive end, but Brian Shaw, George Lynch, Jason Williams, Colsey, and even Barkley... all need Kenny Anderson to lead the offensive end!
Now, the All-Stars in the team are finally able to lead! It's not easy! ╥﹏╥...
Since Zhang Hao broke the rookie debut record held by Chamberlain in one fell swoop, Kenny Anderson has blind confidence in Zhang Hao's talent, and he is not surprised by Zhang Hao's performance.
But for the superstars of other teams, Zhang Hao's progress in the new season has put them in great pressure.
In a mansion in Chicago, Jordan watched the second half of the newly acquired video of the Lakers and Hornets last night's game, and watched it repeatedly several times.
That talent that can be seen with the naked eye, the ability to use its existing conditions, and the visible comparison of the progress of last season...
"Here... it's coming faster than expected..."
Jordan has long known Zhang Hao's talent and can learn geniuses by taking a glance.
But even if you can learn it with a glance and quickly use it in the game, the last time Zhang Hao learned to make a jump shot was just a rough application last season.
But Zhang Hao’s ability to use his existing technology and physical conditions into the competition is really terrible!
There is also the speed of progress. What Zhang Hao did last season seems to have made great progress this season. Jordan saw Zhang Hao's more stable mid-range shot, better top three-pointers, and better pass control... He believes that Zhang Hao's back-playing and turnover jump shots have also improved, and it is definitely the obvious one.
"Talent...it can be so good..."
Jordan felt even more excited inexplicably.
However, Zhang Hao's talent and progress alone would not make Jordan feel threatened. The key is that the Lakers have introduced so many stars.
This gives Zhang Hao a chance to enter the house!
Jordan felt the pressure, and superstars such as Moon, Ewing, Double Demons, and Payton felt the huge threat from the new generation of geniuses.
