"Can you even gain fans by breaking a record? This generation of fans is poisonous!"

"Brother, is this a new posture to increase fans? Brother, try it too? Lelin cheers up for brother!" The little loli's proposal was very constructive.

Yesterday, the Supersonics defeated the Spurs 91-85 at home.

Zhang Hao scored 17 points, 14 rebounds, 11 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks. His personal shooting performance in this game was very bad, making 7 of 20 shots, with only 35% shooting percentage, but his teammates were very powerful, especially Schramff, who added 3 assists to Zhang Hao in the last 1 minute and 33 seconds, and made all three open three-pointers, scoring the highest 25 points in the game in a single game.

Zhang Hao won’t be forced, he will pass it when it’s time to pass it, and he is not stupid.

In this game, Zhang Hao's triple-double number increased to 18 times this season, officially entering the top ten in the NBA's single season triple-double number ranking, tied for tenth with the Magic!

Today is the morning of the 15th. The magician congratulated Zhang Hao on his great achievement in an interview and hoped that Zhang Hao would continue his current momentum.

So far, the NBA single-season triple-double rankings are the first one, the Big Os are the 41 times, the second one is Chamberlain's 31 times, the third and fourth ones are both the Big Os, the fifth one is Chamberlain's 21 times, the sixth to nineth one is also the Big Os, 20 times, 3 times 19 times, and the 10th one is Zhang Hao and the Magician tied with 18 times.

In the first 12 years of his career as a Magician, except for the second grade who was seriously injured and played only 37 games due to being forced to play power forward, the other 11 seasons have more than 10 triple-doubles each season. Unlike the Magician, Big O's career has 181 triple-doubles, and 180 times focused on the first 7 years of his career. In the next 7 years, he changed his playing style and almost never got a triple-double, and finally won the championship.

In the top 10 of the NBA's three-double list in a single season, Oscar Robertson dominated 7 seats.

However, the rule of O now is destined to be broken. Zhang Hao, who is only 23 years old, has already won 18 triple-doubles in 37 games. The possibility of breaking 41 triple-doubles is still relatively low, but it is still very likely to hit Chamberlain's 31 times in people's opinion.

With the past eight consecutive wins and the number of triple-doubles increased to 18 times in the season, Zhang Hao is indeed in the limelight.

At 9 a.m. on January 15, the NBA officially announced another All-Star vote count after the voting from 12 noon on the 29th and ended at 12 noon on the 14th.

Zhang Hao defeated Carter with 133 votes and completed the overtake. When the number of votes in the second period was announced, he was temporarily ranked the All-Star vote king!

But the third place was beyond Zhang Hao's expectations. It was not Jordan, who ranked third before, but Kobe with 1.2 million votes!

The league's operation to praise Kobe is obvious, and it specifically announced that "the player with the fastest increase in votes in the past week" - Kobe Bryant.

Half of Kobe's current votes, or more than 600,000, were obtained from January 7 to January 14, and one-third of them were obtained from the evening of the 13th to noon on the 14th. In more than ten hours, Kobe's rise by about 200,000 votes, and his momentum was extremely fierce!

From the 7th to the 13th, during this period, Kobe won 400,000 votes. Although it was exaggerated, it was understandable that a rookie with 60 points in a single game would be as sensational as it would be. Zhang Hao also relied on the 60 points in a single game in the 7th season and rushed to the All-Star starting lineup directly.

Kobe is an American player, and it's nothing to do with his momentum.

But the number of votes after the 31-game single game actually increased faster, and Zhang Hao and his family were stunned when they saw the news.

It is very common for fans to follow the trend. Sometimes there is no reason to follow the trend, and they think it is interesting and follow the trend.

"Does Kobe's fans like to watch him make a blacksmith? I think this melody sounds good? There seems to be nothing wrong...

I thought my opponent was Carter, and I was a little blacksmith?"

...

Kobe is a very popular player. He used to be active in the interview seat, but after 31 games in a single game, he refused to accept any interviews for the next period of time, and news reports about him began to become strange.

For example, I went to the United Center Arena at around 4 o'clock in the morning and called the security guard. It took an hour before the security guard came, and then had a big fight with the security guard, and finally bought a gift to apologize.

For example, I was practicing shooting in the park at 11 o'clock late at night. Because I was a black man, I was caught by the police and returned to the police station. When I arrived at a bright place, the police found that it was Kobe and sent him home. When the police saw that there was a stadium at his house, they questioned him why he had to go to the park for training in the middle of the night, and he apologized again...

The apology of various postures made Kobe particularly happy in the news comment section on the Internet.

However, because they are all related to "retreatment training", Kobe's popularity is rising rapidly.

But just like Zhang Hao's situation back then, while his popularity is rising, black fans are also growing...

On Zhang Hao's side, the game against the Cavaliers at home No. 16 was over. The Supersonics won 8 consecutive games. Although Zhang Hao scored 33 points, 7 rebounds and 13 assists, helping the Supersonics get a high score of 109 points... It was a high score for them, but the Cavaliers got 117 points and felt explosive. Both teams had very few rebounds, 36 Supersonics and 33 Cavaliers had the rhythm. The two teams did not play very fast, but the Cavaliers felt very good, and the mid-range shots were very accurate. The Supersonics were shot by the opponent.

On the 18th, the Supersonics came to challenge the Bucks away. This time it was not that difficult. Zhang Hao scored 32 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists, Kassel scored 18 points and 10 assists, and the two led the team to 99 points, defeating the Bucks 99-87, and their record increased to 28 wins and 11 losses.

On the 19th, the Supersonics came to Boston and will challenge the Celtics away tomorrow.

Kenny Anderson, Ron Mersel, and Anthony Walker have a strong trio.

Anthony Walker averaged 22 points, 10.4 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game this season, Ron Mercedes per game 17.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game, Kenny Anderson averaging 17.3 points and 8.4 assists per game, Adrian Griffin, who has good defense and catch and shoot, averaged 6.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game, and Ukrainian center Vitali Potapanko is still enough to average 9.3 points and 6.6 rebounds per game.

On the bench, there are also powerful role players such as Tony Barty, Dana Barros, Danny Fordson, Eric Williams, Walter McArty. After several years of Duncan competition, the Celtics selected them and traded them back with players... There are really many high-quality role players.

The Celtics have played 40 games so far this season, with 23 wins and 17 losses, ranking seventh in the Eastern Conference, beating the Hawks with 22 wins and 17 losses.

Just as Zhang Hao completed the two-hour defensive training today, he returned to the room, ready to study how to play tomorrow's game to ensure the maximum probability of winning, while also passing more good goals to his teammates so that his teammates can also participate in the joy of scoring. Before he even took a shower, the phone rang...

...

On the evening of January 19, 2000, the Celtics, Bucks and Bulls broke out in a three-party transaction!

The Bulls sent Tony Kukoc and Ron Harper, and got Eric Williams of the Celtics, Tim Thomas of the Bucks, and JR Reid.

The Bucks sent out Glen Robinson, Tim Thomas, JR Reed, and Winnie Negro, and got Kenny Anderson of the Celtics and Tony Kukoc of the Bulls.

The Celtics sent Kenny Anderson and Eric Williams, and got Ron Harper of the Bulls, Glenn Robinson of the Bucks, and Winnie Negro.

After the deal was completed, the Bulls announced the firing of Tim Floyd and signed Larry Brown for three years and $12 million.

At 9 p.m., Kenny Anderson was watching TV news in Zhang Hao's room and said, "Damn it, I'm going to play under George Carl. I'm so unhappy."

"Boss Kenny, you don't seem to be very upset when you are traded this time?"

"What's wrong with me? I'm a two-time champion. I'll get more than 10 million yuan in the next three years. I just don't know if I can taste the taste of the championship again... Aix, you don't have to be sad."

"I'm not sad, you're right."

"Then what are you worried about?"

"Tim Thomas is about to leave by the Bulls. He was originally the target of our team's signings and adjusting the inside structure, it seems that it is not possible."

"Yes, your team should help you strengthen. You can actually bring your record to 28 wins and 11 losses in this lineup. You really have it, but it will definitely become more and more difficult to get there... Hahaha."

"Boss Kenny, why are you laughing at?"

"I didn't expect you to be today!"

“…”

...

The Celtics broke up their playoff lineup, which was beyond people's expectations.

And it's not over yet. On the next day, on January 20, the Celtics sent Ron Mersel, and the trade was given to the Hawks' Isaiah Ledell and the Hawks' 2000 first-round draft pick.

At 4:40 pm, the Supersonics players entered the stadium of North Shore Garden Arena, and the game was about to start in 20 minutes.

The Celtics traded two outside starters, but the new players had not arrived yet.

"Walker, who was selected in 1996, Mercer, who was selected in 1997, traded to Anderson last year, and now there are only two thorns, Ledel and Robinson, Aix, what are the Celtics doing? They solved the problem of the Bulls' bloated back line, the Bucks lack good point guards, and Ledel of the Hawks' Ledel is a thorn, and they also solved it, but they may be a mess themselves." Kassel was quite puzzled.

"It's probably because of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue to get the picks at the top and high rankings."

"Can they make the playoffs and play badly? Why can't I understand..."

"They want a championship. If they don't trade their lineup, they'd better be in the playoff level. They may not be able to pass the first round. They are likely to be bad now. Robinson has no desire to win. Although Ledel has a low salary and strong strength, only Jordan and Sabonis can suppress it. Walker is not a good person. The Celtics will definitely continue to play badly in the next few years, striving to choose a real genius, or accumulate enough talents to exchange for superstars."

"Why don't they trade stars directly with Anderson and Mercer?"

"They must have tried it. The transaction is not because they want it, but the value is equal, and the other party will be willing. I guess they are cold in the trading market, so they made such a choice. In the press conference just now, they were boasting that they got two All-Star players who averaged 20+ points per game, Robinson and Ledel, who just wanted to sell tickets and play badly. In the end, they could put the responsibility of not winning the game on the two new players."

"So that's it, Aix, you're so smart..."

No matter what, Kassel first praised Zhang Hao.

Only Zhang Hao would patiently explain things to him, and would not be impatient.

At 5 pm, the Supersonics' away game started. After 2 hours and 25 minutes of the game, although Anthony Walker scored a comprehensive data of 39 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals, the Supersonics still relied on Zhang Hao's 38 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 blocks, Cassel's 20 points, 7 assists, Jason Williams' 12 points, 12 rebounds... defeated the Celtics 104-98.

The Celtics chose to keep Anthony Walker and start rebuilding, but the original core trio only looked down on Anthony Walker.

The purpose of issuing a 5-year offer of $70 million to Kenny Anderson was to weaken the Lakers and not give the Lakers a chance to leave Kenny Anderson.

Kenny Anderson and Ron Mercer were both traded away, and Anthony Walker could only lead the team alone, and the game was really strong. Whether it was Zhang Hao, Artest, Ben Wallace, one-on-one, he could not defend Anthony Walker.

Anthony Walker is indeed very outstanding. His career as a player in time and space was absolutely very successful. He has had averaging 20+ games since his second grade. At the age of 30, he helped the Heat win the championship as the sixth player of the Heat. He was selected as the All-Star many times, and his career total income exceeded 100 million US dollars... Such a career is quite successful for 99% of NBA players. However, off-court, Boston fans most often see news that they are gambling and spend a lot of money on nightclub girls...

The Supersonics won this game without any ease. Their style of playing will always be more difficult when encountering such an opponent's star breaking out, but fortunately, they won and their record increased to 29 wins and 11 losses.

Unfortunately, because he left the Lakers and the "old enemy" mission with the Celtics was over, otherwise Zhang Hao would have received more life span rewards.

...

On January 20, the Supersonics played against the Nets at home in Game 41 of the season, 109-90. Finally, the Supersonics won easily.

The Nets scored in the season last season, but they were not able to do so after returning to the normal season. Van Horn and Cory Kittels were injured one after another. Marbury insisted on saying that he was not capable of leading the team, which was related to luck. He did not have an advantage in the matchup with Cassel. Marbury scored 24 points and 9 assists, and Cassel scored 26 points and 5 assists. He basically had both back and forth, and his strength was still very strong.

Finally, in Game 41, Zhang Hao played 37 minutes and easily scored 22 points, 12 rebounds and 14 assists, winning the 19th triple-double of the season!

...

...

After playing against the Nets, the Supersonics got a three-day rest time.

He played 41 games, achieved a record of 30 wins and 11 losses, and ranked fifth in the Western Conference. The Supersonics themselves did not expect this result before the start of the season.

But now, they have to do something that will definitely weaken their own strength.

On the morning of the 21st, Howard Schultz, Larry Harris, Zhang Hao, Doug Collins, Silver Fox, Butch Baird and his group discussed in the Key Stadium for a morning and finally made a decision.

At 3 pm, the Supersonics, Pacers and Warriors reached a three-party deal!

The Pacers sent out the 2000 first-round draft pick, the 2002 first-round draft pick, and the top 8 pick in 2004 to protect the draft pick, Chris Mullin and Zane Tabak, and the trade was given to the Supersonics Theo Ratliff.

The Warriors sent out Muchi Breckle and Jason Cafe, and got Pacers' Chris Mullin and Zane Tabak, Pacers' first-round picks in 2000 and 2002 and Vernon Maxville of the Supersonics.
