When Zhang Hao smashed the ball into the basket, the referee whistle sounded and Grant Hill blocked the foul.

If the goal is valid, you need to get extra penalties.

"Nice!"

The vision of judging opportunities, the judgment of opponent's defensive movements, and the self-judgment has extremely confident and decisive execution ideas...

The logo man behind the bench once again saw Zhang Hao full of talent, and his talent has already entered the game! As long as the opportunity arises, this genius high school student is fulfilling his talent!

Hearing the cheers of the fans at the scene, the logo man believed that this stage would eventually belong to Zhang Hao.

"I really misunderstood this time. It's even better than I expected. Aix and that guy are partnering...Who dares to say that my deal was made after drowning in the Pacific!"

On the court, after Zhang Hao smashed the ball into the basket, Grant Hill took two steps back and shook his head unstoppable after standing still.

He did foul this ball. Dumas, who was at the outside, was too late to catch up with the defense at the first time, and his strength was too great! He really couldn't stop Zhang Hao who was rushing at full speed.

"But if I rushed forward, he could interfere with me... I obviously looked stronger than him... This guy definitely concealed his weight!"

Seeing Zhang Hao walking onto the free throw line without any expression after dunking, Grant Hill felt that this guy was really owed a little.

He is obviously a rookie, but he is so pretentious.

Even if the relationship is good, I want to hit him!

Zhang Hao, who was on the free throw line, felt that someone wanted to hit him in the handsome face again - forget it, I got used to it, I can't help it.

Adjusted your breathing and hit the penalty!

After Zhang Hao hit a free throw, the Lakers quickly retreated and became more active.

Just now, Zhang Hao dunked Grant Hill triggered the "dunk master". His morale rose sharply in the next three rounds and his enthusiasm increased significantly.

Although the Pistons scored two goals in the next 4 rounds and the defense was not good, the Lakers also scored two goals!

When the official timeout was 6 minutes and 44 seconds in the first quarter, the Lakers were only 4 points behind 13-17!

Although he failed to overtake, he tightly clenched the score. The Lakers stopped the start of the decline and finally began to play the offensive level he should have.

Van Exel's mid-range shot and pass, Zhang Hao's high-level shot and high-low post pass, Anthony Pierre's catch shot, and Cebaros and Jason Williams' offensive rebounding rush, were well combined.

The current Lakers' style of playing is that Del Harris analyzes the Nets' style of playing and makes adjustments based on the configuration of his own team, but it is just not stated clearly.

4 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists... Zhang Hao looked at his data and didn't look like the inside, but for a long time in the past half quarter, he played against the center on the defensive end.

The positioning is getting better and better. When he was with the Nets, he thought about how to help Jason Williams, the best rebounding team in rebounding, in terms of rebounding. There are many places that need to be studied and practiced hard. He has no time to observe the opponent. When his teammates shoot after shooting, he chose to ensure that he can make a rebound + get stuck in the position for his teammates.

Now that I'm on the Lakers, I'm using it.

Seeing Zhang Hao walking back to the bench, Del Harris said: "Aix, you have a rest first."

Then I ignored him.

Zhang Hao nodded, not knowing if the other party saw it.

When Zhang Hao took the training suit handed over by the caddie, he heard the cheers of the fans at the scene, and some people were calling "X".

He said he didn't care, and Zhang Hao's mouth, whose head was covered by training suit, opened his mouth, but when his head was sticking out, he returned to his expressionless face.

At the beginning, the fans on the scene were quite disappointed with Zhang Hao's performance tonight.

Lakers fans are quite strange. When they didn't like Zhang Hao before, as long as Zhang Hao performed poorly, they would be unable to criticize Zhang Hao and would drive Zhang Hao out of the Lakers.

But when I wanted to see a player who could beat Grant Hill, I was full of expectations for Zhang Hao.

But as he played, the fans on the scene were infected by Zhang Hao's strong personal charm on the court.

If you really want to talk about how good Zhang Hao played... In addition to protecting the frame on the defensive end, he was beaten every time he switched to Grant Hill.

In terms of shooting, 2 of 5 shots is not considered good.

But Zhang Hao's influence on the game can be seen with the naked eye. As long as Zhang Hao fights firmly, even if he is a blacksmith, he will be full of presence.

Seeing Zhang Hao sitting calmly on the bench, some fans felt that the defeat against the Spurs was not blamed for Zhang Hao?

When watching data or even live broadcasts, some things are difficult to reflect, such as Zhang Hao's level of investment and the qualities of driving teammates on the field, which are really visible to the naked eye!

...

After the timeout, the Lakers replaced Sedale Sreet, Anthony Pierre, George Lynch, Cebaros and Campbell.

The Pistons replaced Lynch Hunter, Alan Houston, Grant Hill, Terry Mills and Ratliff.

Both sides have improved their defense and replaced them with slow-speed lineups.

The Lakers clearly have an advantage in playing defense, and Campbell gave Ratliff a lesson on defense at the basket.

The offensive cooperation of the Lakers lineup is also pretty good, and Sedale Sreite's ball is well allocated.

Unfortunately, Anthony Pierre had two open three-pointers and had not made a goal. He had not played the main player for too long. He still couldn't fully adapt to these games. Occasionally, he would get the opportunity to be too excited and not take steady steps.

However, this is also an opportunity for the Pistons. Just like Zhang Hao seized some opportunities, Grant Hill and Alan Houston also seized the opportunity. After protecting the rebound, the two led the team to play a defensive counterattack, and almost maintained a weak lead.

On the sidelines, Zhang Hao watched the game on the court and analyzed his performance in the first half of the quarter.

He was not confident in his three-pointers before, but he played against the Pacers because he had to shoot. In the last game against the Spurs, he made three-pointers in the whole game and trusted his central shot more.

But his mid-range shots are already the opponent's key defense target, especially after he arrived at the Lakers. Just like tonight, it is almost impossible for him to shoot easily in the area below the free throw line.

So, he started to throw it away when he had the chance. He figured it out. He was too limited to the fight. Even if it was something he was good at, he might not perform well. It would be better to just do whatever he should do.

Just like when he came back from the timeout, he failed to make a three-pointer for the first time, but the offensive rhythm of the whole team began to show, and he took action when it was time to take action, which gave the opponent the impression that he would shoot when he was empty at that position, and he was decisive. When the opponent almost grabbed the offensive rebound last time, he would naturally subconsciously take the rebound position, and then a new opportunity would appear!

In this half of the game, he also learned that defense urgently needed to be improved, and he deeply felt the disadvantages of high school players - weak basic skills.

He thought of James. James' Cavaliers' career can be considered unlucky. The team spent a lot of money to sign ups, but Larry Hughes was not suitable. O'Neal was old, and the power forward Boozer, who is most suitable for his pick-and-roll mid-range shot style, ran away...

But James also has an advantage. In such a team, just like Zhang, who was in the Nets before, he would not blame him if he lost, but if he won, he was awesome. He had a good early development environment. He couldn't even use his physical advantage in the defensive end in the first two or three years of his career. He often lost his defense position and no one cared about it.

But it's different for the Lakers...

If he wants to choose... he will still choose the Lakers and he can win!

At this time, Zhang Hao found that he really wanted to be scolded by fans.

After the first quarter, the Lakers were behind the Pistons 24-27 and entered the break in three quarters.

It was still too disastrous to start. The Lakers have gradually taken the initiative behind the scenes, but they are far behind in the front and are unable to overtake the scores in the first quarter.

Zhang Hao took back his attention and waited for Del Harris to call him on the court.

However, Del Harris did not replace him, but continued to send a defensive lineup in the second quarter. However, this time Cebaros was replaced and rested, and Van Exel went up to swing.

After losing Eddie Jones, in this rotation lineup, the back line offense is indeed weak, and it needs to be compensated by Van Exel's personal offense.

The Lakers' current lineup has 4-defense drags 1, and the offensive end is supported by Van Exel.

Grant Hill was replaced and rested, and the two teams had a tacit understanding. Pistons Alan Houston and Audis Thorpe went up and swung, and their movements gradually became bigger and neither side got a bargain.

After looking for a while, Zhang Hao saw Del Harris' intention - during this period, he ensured that his feel was not consumed by the other party.

The Pistons' style of playing when Grant Hill was resting was to consume it. The old habits of the Bad Kids Legion have not been completely erased from this team. Grant Hill and Dumas are not there and cannot play a relatively efficient offense. The Pistons' defensive movements have become more habitual.

Zhang Hao has no experience, but Del Harris has it. Although the Pistons have replaced the head coach, the Pistons players and last season have not changed much. This is how the Pistons last season were. Once the offense is not good, the movements will begin to become rough.

After more than 4 minutes in the second quarter, the Lakers scored 7 points and the Pistons scored 6 points. The score was 31-33. The difference between one goal, the Pistons called a timeout and replaced Grant Hill.

If you encounter trouble, look for superstars, otherwise what are you doing with superstars? This is the eternal best choice in the sports world.

Doug Collins replaced Lynch Hunter, Dumas, Grant Hill, Terry Mills, Audis Thorpe's lineup.

Del Harris replaced the offensive combination of Van Exel, Anthony Pierre, Zhang Hao, Cebaros and Jason Williams.

Van Exel is a player with a very distinctive character. He knows very well outside the game that he often gets hot in the game, and just holds the ball, urging himself to be calm in the game. But in the game, if there is no Divac press, he will not care about anything, so he hates Divac very much. He is happiest when Divac leaves.

However, Divac really left. He hoped Divac would come back in the first game because he often got upset after shooting. At this time, Zhang Hao came out, and he was willing to take the initiative to hand the ball to Zhang Hao to search for a better opportunity.

Because Zhang Hao is not as talkative as Divac and has so many big-name styles, but a rookie who doesn't usually speak.

With the experience of the first quarter, the Lakers team cooperated more skillfully after they came on the court, and the shooting players shot decisively. Cebaros and Jason Williams also had a clearer goal, which was to rob.

Van Exel occasionally has the urge to make a strong shot, but most of the time he restrained himself and played team attacks well. His shots did not decrease when he attacked team attacks, but instead his chances became relatively better.

On the Pistons, Grant Hill and Dumas, the pair of dual-core players, are their offensive guarantees.

Relatively speaking, the Lakers' overall offense is stronger, but the Lakers' defense is worse, and the two teams entered a state of competition.

However, as the game deepens and the shooting efficiency begins to decline, the Lakers' advantages are reflected - offensive rebounding!

To let Cebaros play Grant Hill alone, he still has to deal with Audis Thorpe's assisted defense. He played badly, but he stopped holding the ball and resolutely rushed to grab it. His strong physical advantage was better played.

With Jason Williams, who has the best rebounding ability in the game, the Lakers gradually took the initiative in the second half of the first quarter!

At 10 minutes and 11 seconds in the second quarter, Grant Hill broke through the inside and was slapped by Zhang Hao in the face of the throwing shot when Cebaros was held back.

Van Exel actively grabbed the ball. When he protected the ball, he saw that Zhang Hao had already rushed out of the three-point line... no one could stop it!

Too fast! It's so fast that Van Exel, who was originally the fastest in the game, felt it was too fast! Grant Hill was thrown away as soon as he caught up with the middle circle!

Van Exel made a long pass, Zhang Hao received the ball and made a layup, 51-49, and the Lakers took a two-point lead!

Then, Van Exel made a three-pointer with a wave, and Zhang Hao cut into the receiving goal and made a pass to Jason Williams with a high score to hit the basket, and ended the first half with a 5-2 wave.

After halftime, the Lakers overtook the Pistons 56-51 with 5 points!
