After losing, the two top scorers were unwilling to accept it, but from the perspective of strength, they were still convinced.

They had many counterattacks, but they were all resolved by the Lakers.

The gap in strength is very obvious. Even the adjustments they are proud of after the New Year are not worse than them...

On the other hand, Zhang Hao is very happy now!

"Enemy of 183:

Target 1: Zhang Hao must complete at least once cross-step change direction and score in each quarter in each quarter. (First quarter: George Lynch; Second quarter: George Lynch; Third quarter: Aaron McGee; Fourth quarter: Allen Iverson, completed.)

Goal 2: Zhang Hao needs to face Iverson to complete a cross-step change breakthrough score. (Completed.)

Target 3: Zhang Hao needs to help the Lakers score a hundred points in the game against the 76ers. (103 points, completed.)

Target 4: Zhang Hao needs to help the Lakers defeat the 76ers. (Completed.)

Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: the King of Cross-Step Silver Level Up Card of the Designated Medal.”

Finally, this task is finally completed!

At the end of last season, he failed when facing Tim Hardaway and Mooning. He finally got it for nearly half of the season.

Regarding the game itself, Zhang Hao saw the progress of his team, and he felt that the efforts he had made were rewarded.

Let's continue to work harder. In fact, they still encountered many problems in this game. However, although the 76ers are more adaptable than other teams, they still have many loopholes and have many areas to improve. They are only adapting faster than other teams. There are still many places to adjust. The Lakers have grasped their advantages and are in good shape when O'Neal returns and is serious about what they should do in games like this, it is not difficult for the Lakers to win.

After they had a clear adjustment direction, they seized the opportunity and started making tactical preparations nearly 3 weeks in advance last month, which brought great help.

Those things are not useless, but links.

How to be a good coach? Zhang Hao has learned some things...

The interview after the game is here, Zhang Hao shut down the system first and accepts the interview first.

"Shifo, you once again completed the sweep of the first pick rookie. People say you are Duncan's template. Do you have any suggestions for Duncan's next game?"

"No, he has almost nothing to improve, his talent is limited."

"..." The beautiful little girl from Time Warner Cable Sports really wants to jump up and hit Zhang Hao in the knee!

However, she really couldn't refute it. In many aspects, Duncan was almost a perfect rookie.

But this truth comes from Zhang Hao's mouth, even CNK reporters who tend to be more inclined to him want to hit people!

I endured it! The young female reporter asked from another perspective: "What are the 76ers not doing well enough in this game? Duncan or Iverson?"

"They are all still kids. They have just entered the NBA not long ago. It's normal for them to occasionally perform badly."

"They are all older than you, and Duncan is more than 8 months older than you."

"Oh, then he's so miserable, his template is younger than him."

“…”

I can't continue the interview!

Although what Zhang Hao said is true, it really makes people unable to listen to it and it is too worthy of being beaten!

...

...

"The King of Cross Steps (Silver):

1. When the player uses the cross-step change direction to break through, the speed will be temporarily +4, and it will start at the fastest speed after obtaining the breakthrough space through the cross-step change direction.

2. After breaking through the cross step, make a mid-range shot within two seconds, make a temporary mid-range shot +2, make a temporary layup +2, if you shake your body away through the cross step and make a direct three-pointer, make a temporary three-pointer +2.

Note: The new defensive effect of the gold level: The prediction of changing direction breakthroughs can only be upgraded through tasks."

“Beautiful, beautiful…”

In the early morning of the next day, after entering the learning mode, Zhang Hao upgraded the King of Cross Steps to the Silver level.

Zhang Hao was worried that he was not used to the first-class level of three points, so he had the conditions to strengthen it. Although the evaluation of the three points that were close to the top 89 after triggering the bonus was still a bit far from the top 89 after the top arc area, it was better to have an bonus method than not.

Continue to review the game!

In the past, when Zhang Hao was reviewing the game, he always focused on himself or his team, which was related to his stage. Now most of his analysis focus is still on his personal and Lakers' style of play, but the newly added analysis time is about the overall situation...

It is necessary to learn from one's strengths and make up for one's weaknesses.

...

After the game against the 76ers, the Lakers finished their five-game winning streak. The next morning, the Lakers set off from Los Angeles and came to Vancouver in the snowy and icy areas.

When we arrived in Vancouver, Zhang Hao did not stay in the hotel and came to Rahim's house for lunch at noon.

Still, Rahim got married and got married with a child. His wife's belly was already very big.

After the rookie season, Rahim lost the extra attention of the rookie. The 97 rookie performed so well, and his low-key and calm personality, it is difficult to see news about him in the news.

I didn’t talk about the game for lunch, but I just talked about the group of people in the Adidas training camp at that time... I talked about these things every time I met. Although I played in the NBA, I was not in the same team and the things I experienced were very different.

Speaking of playing in the same league, but we only meet a few times a year. In fact, it is similar to friends who can meet once a few months. Those people and things will always be the ones who meet and talk to each other.

But this feeling is pretty good, and Zhang Hao likes it very much.

After lunch, I returned to the hotel and at 2 pm, the second team meeting held by Zhang Hao's career began.

The coaching staff has brought all the notebooks, remember the key points.

Without the expectations of the coaching staff and teammates, Zhang Hao analyzed the game last night in detail...

This allowed Kenny Anderson, O'Neal, Brian Shaw, Rick Fox, etc. teammates who are the core role of the team's tactics to sleep well after the game. Zhang Hao's analysis was much better than what they analyzed by themselves.

The direction of the coaching team can be clearer, reducing the time to analyze details, and at the same time, you can rest more and have more energy to do other things.

Although this feeling is a bit weird... but in the end, they all enjoyed the benefits.

I also roughly understood why Zhang Hao can be so successful. Just for this matter, my teammates seemed to see how hard Zhang Hao worked...

...

Like the first two months of the game, in January, the Lakers' schedule was still easy, so easy that they didn't want to watch the schedules in February and March.

The next day, on the morning of the 6th, the Lakers arrived at the home court of the Grizzlies.

The extension of the three-point line this time has had a great impact, and the players have also been affected. It is an opportunity for some people, and a nightmare for some people.

If someone follows the trend, there will naturally be victims.

Unfortunately, Rick Fox became a victim of the extension of the three-point line. Just as Silver Fox and Zen Master originally put him on the bench in time and space, in the pre-match meeting this morning, Silver Fox also put Rick Fox on the bench, and Brian Shaw replaced Rick Fox as the starting position.

The appearance time will not change much, but the position in the tactical structure has changed.

In the game against the 76ers, after playing for a few minutes in the first quarter, Rick Fox had no playing time in the whole first half.

However, in the first half of the third quarter, when O'Neal was resting, Rick Fox came on the court, Zhang Hao could pull it away, Jason Williams had pick-and-roll ability, Rick Fox had comprehensive skills, did a good job of adjusting, and could pull a short at the basket. When Jason Williams had a good cut-in after pick-and-roll, the three of them cooperated well in the frontcourt.

Since it's not bad, then make a decisive adjustment.

Although the playing time may not be too large, it is only theoretically. The importance of tactical roles has declined and the starting position has been lost...

Many teammates felt sorry for Rick Fox because the three-point line was shortened. Since the 95-96 season, Rick Fox played first-class star-level data and roles, but the three-point line was extended... In order to come to the Lakers, they gave up millions of dollars with a three-year contract of $3.6 million...

However, no one blames the Silver Fox for being unkind.

After a day's preparation, at 6 pm, the Lakers' away game started.

At 8:28 pm, after 2 hours and 28 minutes of game, the Lakers easily defeated the Grizzlies 117 to 95, giving the Grizzlies the 25th loss this season.

Zhang Hao played 33 minutes in the game, making 9 of 16 shots, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, plus 4 of 5 free throws, and scored 23 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks, O'Neal scored 37 points, and Kenny Anderson scored 16 points and 6 assists.

From the Grizzlies' score, we can see that the Lakers played casually tonight. In fact, the score difference was not that big. Without tasks, Zhang Hao did not have any need to target the Grizzlies and Raheem.

But... Later on, Zhang Hao still targeted Raheem with his teammates and beat the Grizzlies.

After being abused, Rahim beat him even more excitedly, as if he felt respect...

Playing in a team that may face disbandment at any time, and it is the young genius, pillar of this team, and what Rahim undertakes, is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

The one who accepted the most was a highly anticipated college genius. After entering the NBA, he also paid great attention in the first year, but no one cared about who he was in the second year...

The Grizzlies have 9 wins and 25 losses. On the way to the last place, the Grizzlies still have a long way to go. The Nuggets have won 4 games so far, and the Raptors, who are also in Canada, are about to collapse.

...

After the game against the Grizzlies, the next morning, the Lakers' plane that took off at 8 o'clock returned to Los Angeles early.

There was a two-day break, and there was no training schedule today. Last night's opponent was the Grizzlies, and there was no need to review the game. We continued to study and improve the problems encountered in the game against the Hawks and the 76ers, the two defensive teams.

However, Zhang Hao was not idle either. Before he could even get home, he was taken to a restaurant by April Clark, Britney and Little Loli. His teammates came, and some Hollywood celebrities and local celebrities held a birthday party.

Zhang Hao didn't know about this, and the surprise he had agreed on by the three girls, so he happily participated.

Yes, in front of so many people, if there is a sign next to Zhang Hao's face saying "I'm very happy", others will definitely be able to see him happy at a glance... But you can see that he is very happy even after drinking a large glass of beer.

21 years old! Drinking openly!

But he didn't drink too much. A big glass of beer meant that he ate and drank drinks later. The celebrities from Hollywood and local celebrities who came to take photos with him, but he didn't refuse, giving enough face to Britney and April Clark.
