There was constant competition outside the stadium, and the boss's position was very lively, but when the game was at the same goal, O'Neal and Anthony Hardaway were the same.

Compared to the sarcastic satire of his lack of training, Anthony Hardaway is the cute type of people who compete with O'Neal in what he is unwilling to do.

Anfenny Hardaway made a direct statement to compete for the boss, and the off-site competition is simple and direct to compare who is richer. O'Neal likes this directness.

On the other hand, Zhang Hao knew that the two people on the other side wanted to compete with him both inside and outside the court. The reason... When playing Hill, they were also energetic.

Because they are all super popular stars who won the All-Star Ticket King in their rookie season.

"But I'm not as strong as Hill!"

Seeing these two opponents, Zhang Hao was under pressure.

But I am looking forward to fighting these two people, and my emotions are quite complicated.

"Shake O'Neal, ability evaluation is 95... Averages of 26.3 points, 11 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.6 steals, 2.2 blocks..."

"Anfini Hardaway, ability evaluation is 95... Average 22.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 2 steals, 0.5 blocks..."

Two super giants! And they are both only 24 years old!

Before O'Neal's comeback, Anthony Hardaway was almost averaging 30+ per game. Although he fell rapidly after O'Neal's comeback, it proved that he had that ability.

Before Anfini Hardaway joined, O'Neal almost won the scoring champion and was snatched away by David Robinson.

These two opponents...

"Fortunately, their role-player lineup is quite interesting."

Zhang Hao looked at the strange man Nick Anderson who missed four free throws at the last minute of the first finals last year, causing the Magic to lose to the Rockets in overtime and then lost to the home advantage.

"Nick Anderson, 28 years old, 198 cm, 93 kg, ability evaluation 79, offense 85, defense 73... Average 14.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game..."

The strength is still good. A qualified starter can even average 18 or 19 points per game in a bad team, and both three-pointers and mid-range shots are good. It is very suitable for the Magic's dual-core, but the free throw shooting percentage averaged in his early sixties in his career... Are you serious?

O'Neal, who averaged 11.6 free throws per game + Nick Anderson, who averaged 6.2 free throws per game, brought the Magic a free throw percentage of less than 70% of the team, the last in the league!

"Denice Scott, 28 years old, 203 cm, 104 kg, ability evaluation 80, offense 87, defense 76, three-pointers 90... Average 17.5 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists..."

A very good small forward, his strength is similar to Gilliam, who Zhang Hao had partnered with, but he is a pitcher. Average 3.4 three-pointers per game with Anfini Hardaway and O'Neal, and his shooting percentage is as high as 42%. He competes with George McLeod of the Mavericks for the three-point champion this season.

Zhang Hao’s evaluation of him - a smart player who is very good at seizing opportunities.

Zhang Hao has a resume of studying every player of the Magic. Denis Scott seized the opportunity in his first year of O'Neal's entry into the NBA and became the Magic's starter, opening up space on both sides.

Overall, these two men are fine. Nick Anderson only missed 4 free throws. As for the two of them, they are just ordinary in defense. They can only attack well. Last season, the Magic averaged 110 points per game and reached the finals. These two forward and guard combinations who can shoot and pass are of great contribution. Their other advantages are not suitable for Anthony Hardaway and O'Neal.

But Zhang Hao really can't understand the strong man wearing glasses, Zhang's opponent tonight.

"Hores Grant, 31 years old, 208 cm, 107 kg, ability evaluation 79, offense 71, defense 88... Average 12.2 points, 9.3 rebounds, 1 steal 1.3 blocks..."

Very excellent, such a power forward, any team wants.

But, I can't afford it!

During the All-Star Weekend, Zhang Hao saw a news that he felt incredible at the time.

Now I can't understand the specific ability evaluation of Horez Grant, who is 31 years old and has a high-quality role player.

The Magic are still hesitating whether to give O'Neal a 7-year contract of 100 million yuan, but the change of hands is to renew the contract with 31-year-old Hores Grant for two years, with a combined salary of 29 million yuan.

O'Neal needs a salary of 100 million yuan, and according to the rules, the starting salary is less than 11 million yuan.

"The media in Orlando is weird, so forget it. What's the brain circuit of the Magic management? Olajuwon's starting salary is only more than 9 million yuan in renewal."

...

The Lakers, with 51 wins and 13 losses, faced the Magic, with 52 wins and 13 losses, with a strong showdown, with many topics and a huge amount of attention.

After the All-Star Weekend, the Magic lost only 3 games in total. Those 3 games were all lost because of being cut by Sharks. The Magic won all the other 15 games, and the record was even better than the Lakers. The Lakers All-Star Weekend record was 14 wins and 4 losses.

However, such a good record between the two teams is not related to the strong teams they encountered at the beginning after the All-Star Weekend.

The two teams will have much more difficulties next, just like the Lakers have encountered strong teams recently, the Magic are coming to the end of the season and will also encounter a lot of strong opponents. Before the start of the season, the two teams are all the top four favorites in their respective divisions. The schedule is similar. The season starts loose and tight in the middle. The All-Stars just came back on the weekend and loose, and the end is tight.

At 6:58 pm, the starters of both teams appeared.

Today, the Lakers' starting lineup changed quietly. When they appeared, the Magic stood silently on both sides of the player's channel, and Anthony Pierre was also together.

The Lakers sent Van Exel, Doug Christie, George Lynch, Zhang Hao and Campbell to start.

The Magic sent Anthony Hardaway, Nick Anderson, Denis Scott, Hores Grant and O'Neal to start.

After applying the magnesium powder and coming to the middle circle, Zhang Hao saw O'Neal's smiling face, who was more than a circle bigger than him.

"Rookie, you can't dance without me, so just stand and don't move. No one in your team can't dance without me." O'Neal smiled proudly.

Is this considered trash talk?

It's right...

Seeing that Zhang Hao did not answer, O'Neal was even more proud. He couldn't tell whether Zhang Hao's cold face was angry or not, and continued, "Not only do you have no ability to dance, but you are not as strong as me!"

“…”

Zhang Hao didn't even raise his head and was about to jump the ball.

After a while, Zhang Hao felt that he should have a response.

Just as the referee confirmed the time and took the whistle to his mouth, Zhang Hao spoke: "You were swept by Olajuwon."

“!…!!!!!!”

Originally, O'Neal didn't get a response, and after saying a few more words, he became less interested. Who knew that Zhang Hao suddenly spoke and mentioned the things he didn't want to recall the most.

I immediately wanted to squirt back, but before I could even think about how to squirt back, I saw Zhang Hao jumping up!

When Zhang Hao was speaking just now, there seemed to be a whistle sound!

Looking up, he saw that the ball was pushed back by Zhang Hao... It was so despicable! O'Neal quickly retreated. After Zhang Hao landed, O'Neal immediately fought against him.

What is the most perfect basketball player's body in history?

Zhang Hao felt it when he played the All-Star Game. He felt O'Neal's 216 cm tall and 132 kilograms of excellent bursts and movements again. He still felt incredible.

However, it's not just Zhang Hao tonight...

George Lynch reacted very quickly. He was ready to go out or retreat at any time and headed straight to the opponent's basket!

Van Exel took the ball in time, George Lynch rushed to the right side of the three-second zone and received the ball, and Hores Grant, who was retreating to the basket, smashed the ball into the basket!

Finally, he started back! George Lynch buckled in and roared back at the defense.

Although it is not as strong morale bonus as Zhang Hao's start of the fast break, a player like George Lynch who is extremely outgoing after playing and playing can also make his teammates feel excited.

On the Lakers bench, the Magician tilted his head and smiled at Del Harris next to him.

Del Harris also smiled, he saw what the Magician meant - look, I said I would start with a beautiful start as a substitute.

The person who jumps the ball can make a fast break, which is very helpful to the wing players. The fast break is easy to defend at the beginning, and the defenders on both sides can block the ball. In this case, let alone O'Neal, even Campbell, after jumping the ball, he has the ability to retreat straight back to the basket. When teammates on both sides interfere with the opponent's quick drop, even if the opponent bypasses the interfering player and rushes into the basket, the center can retreat and defend.

But Zhang Hao would jump the ball, otherwise he could directly bypass the opponent's center and attack the basket. Even if he encountered O'Neal like that, O'Neal would definitely be Zhang Hao who blocked the ball at the first time, and there would be a chance on the wing.

But in the past, Anthony Pierre was too small, and his magician didn't have the ability. When he met Olajuwon, Malone, Mooning and others with strong defensive predictions, he often missed the opportunity to score a goal at the beginning.

It's just that O'Neal jumped the ball and was distracted... It was so distracted that he was directly driven by Zhang Hao that the ball had not yet jumped, which was quite surprising.

On the court, O'Neal looked at the scene of George Lynch who was excited to slap high after rushing through the center line and Zhang Hao, who was forced to open business, and his teeth creaked.

Too despicable!

As expected, gentlemen are all hypocrites!

O'Neal was about to explode and kill the opponent... After halftime, O'Neal fell into deep thought at Campbell, who was about the same size as him...

"Actually, I don't like to chisel inside so much, it's too technical."

Thinking of this, O'Neal decisively pulled out of the three-second zone and was ready to rush to grab at the bottom line on the left.

It’s not that he is really afraid, but that he will take too much energy to beat Campbell. If he beat Campbell, he will definitely be the other party who is happy.

Campbell suddenly changed his playing style last season. After gaining 18 kilograms in the summer of 18 kilograms, his performance not only did not decline, but instead played better than before. Obviously, he is more suitable for this large-tonnage playing style... The disadvantage is that the horizontal movement is almost gone, but O'Neal is definitely a good player in the league.

Seeing this, Anfini Hardaway knew it was time to come, so he made a gesture. Nick Anderson pulled to the 45-degree angle on the right, Hores Grant pulled to the middle distance of the right bottom line, and Denis Scott pulled to the bottom corner on the left.

A very simple and crude position, the Magic team's playing style is so simple and simple.

Then, Anfini Hardaway plucked the ball back and forth with his hands, like a street performance, freehand painting, and no longer cared about Zhang Hao, who had taken a big step forward to defend.

Despise him three-pointer?

Yes, you should be despised.

Does he need three points?

unnecessary!

Anfenny Hardaway rushed towards Zhang Hao!

Zhang Hao retreated far enough, and was ready to wait until the other party clearly broke through the route before moving. Who knew that the penny rushed towards him directly!

Zhang Hao was a little confused. Just as he was about to fight together, Zhang Hao keenly discovered that the other party's left foot was retreating... Zhang Hao quickly moved to the left... Oh no!

At that time, Zhang Hao found something was wrong, but it was too late. He didn't turn around and stopped immediately, and made a quick shot...hit!
To be continued...
