474. The Worst But Little Flying Squirrel (12,000 words for monthly ticket)(1/4)
After Kasselga made a free throw, the Eagles called the timeout again and entered the official timeout stage.
What I fear most when playing games is that I lose my energy.
That's what the Eagles are now.
Lang Kruger has no choice but to think of a solution now, so he seeks stability.
Strengthening defense is the best way to seek stability.
Playing defense in case of trouble is the same as throwing three points in case of trouble 20 years later.
If Jordan wants to be the head coach, then when he encounters trouble, he will fiercely show his desire to win and irritably motivate the players... and then he doesn't know what to do, and he doesn't even know how to seek stability... Maybe he also knows to seek stability, but when he is excited, there is nothing else but scolding people.
The situation for the Hawks is that Long Kruger wants to demand stability, Jordan wants to do it, and Jordan's singles is the most stable way of playing on the Hawks' offensive end, which complements each other.
In two and a half quarters, Jordan performed very well in 18 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals.
However, after the timeout came back, the Eagles failed to stabilize their position immediately.
Although Jordan scored 5 points in the second half of the third quarter, the Hawks only scored 8 points, and was beaten 11-8 by the Supersonics.
After the third quarter, the Supersonics led the Hawks by 4 points 66-62, and scored 26-17 in a single quarter in the third quarter!
The situation has turned around. Zhang Hao scored 6 points and 7 assists in a single quarter. The Hawks did not give up on him because he had few shots in the third quarter. He got 7 assists in a single quarter! When Zhang Hao's data was played in the third quarter, it turned into 37 points, 19 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 6 blocks!
Jordan scored 23 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals, and performed well, but compared with Zhang Hao, it was pale in comparison.
It is obvious that the mentality of the Eagles players has been defeated by Zhang Hao. Everyone in the Supersonics can see this, and the excitement continues to inspire the Supersonics players.
In their opinion, as long as you work hard to maintain defensive confrontation and play this game steadily, you will definitely win!
This is true. Most of the Eagles players have broken their mentality, but there is still one person not!
In the final quarter, Jordan scored 4 points even when he came on the court. Fortunately, the Supersonics also scored 2 points and maintained a lead of 68 to 66. In this way, the two teams started a tug-of-war in the last quarter.
The players of the Hawks were confused. Such a huge advantage was a disadvantage by the opponent. All they could do was limit Zhang Hao's scoring. After 37 points in the third quarter, Zhang Hao scored 24 points in the second quarter. They were very worried that Zhang Hao could give him some chance and he could play 60+ in a single game. The game was like this, and they would never want Zhang Hao to score such a high score.
Zhang Hao originally thought he was stable and happily attracted the attack and assists, but he didn't expect that Jordan would start to Crash with his own strength!
Unlike the Hawks, Supersonic players defended very hard and tried their best.
But no matter how excited or hard you fight, there is an objective condition that cannot change your physical strength and cannot keep up!
For Jordan's defense, the Supersonics did not do that well, with pinch attacks, supplementary defense, and executed very actively, but the execution was not in place. With solid technical skills and experienced experience, Jordan found a good chance to score and scored continuously.
This is not only reflected in defense, but also the Supersonics' offensive efficiency in the last quarter was also affected. It can be seen from the second half of the third quarter. From the second quarter to the first half of the third quarter, the Supersonics maintained a 15-point performance in the half quarter, but it dropped significantly in the second half of the third quarter.
After halfway through the final quarter, Jordan scored 12 points alone and led the Hawks to a score of 14-12. When entering the official timeout, the Hawks chased the score to 76-78!
Zhang Hao has already scored 39 points, 21 rebounds and 11 assists. He originally thought it was very stable, but Jordan scored 12 points in the half quarter to hold on to the situation. Jordan's personal data has also been increased to 35 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals!
At this time, one of O'Neilka's huge advantages showed that there was no need to consider the state, that is, the matter was just!
In the second half of the fourth quarter, Zhang Hao fiercely chiseled into the basket. At this time, Mutombo, who had not received enough rest time, could no longer keep up with the rhythm, and the performance of the frame protection decreased significantly, and Zhang Hao also seized the advantage in this area.
In the second half of the final quarter, Zhang Hao made 3 of 5 shots, plus 2 of 3 free throws, and scored 8 points. As soon as the Hawks were driven by Jordan, they were beaten by Zhang Hao.
After all, Jordan is 37 years old. He rushed too hard in the first half of the quarter and failed to ensure the physical distribution as well as usual. He can no longer Cradle alone at critical moments like two years ago. Although his teammates were a little motivated, Jordan scored 4 points in the second half of the last quarter with 1 of 4 shots and 2 of 2 free throws, and his teammates only scored 4 points!
In the fourth quarter, 11 minutes and 38 seconds, Kassel received a pass from Zhang Hao to make a throw from the right side of the three-second zone, causing Jason Terry to make a foul and free throw. The Supersonics widened the gap to 5 points and secured the victory!
In the last attack of the Hawks, Jason Terry missed a three-pointer, Ben Wallace protected the rebound, and 6 seconds left, he stuck out his butt and grabbed the ball with his hands, reaching towards the basket, and stopped playing!
The Hawks did not choose to make a tactical foul, chased 5 points in 6 seconds, and they did not struggle without Reggie Miller.
Six seconds passed quickly, and when the final whistle sounded, the fans on the scene were in great excitement!
Although Jordan scored 16 points in the last quarter, he frightened the Supersonics, relying on Zhang Hao's performance of 10 points and 5 assists in the last quarter, the Supersonics beat the Hawks 23-22 in the last quarter. In the end, the Supersonics reversed the Hawks 89-84.
47 points, 23 rebounds, 12 assists, 3 steals and 8 blocks, Zhang Hao defeated Jordan's 39 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals, winning!
He only scored 10 points in the first quarter, and fell behind 10 to 21 at the beginning. He was at an extreme disadvantage and finally turned the tables!
The Supersonics players were also so excited that they celebrated the victory as if they had won the championship.
“Avengers:
Open conditions:
1. Zhang Hao must lead the team to win in the match against the Hawks this season. (1 win or 0 losses)
2. Zhang Hao must score higher than Michael Jordan in two games this season (47 to 39)
…”
After the final whistle rang, Zhang Hao also received a system prompt. Calculate that if he wins the next game, even if the score in the next game is only 1 point higher than Jordan, then he will have a 90-day life reward, which can barely be considered as earning back the used O'Neal's consumption-free card, but the unconditional advanced usage right is gone.
However, looking at the data on the big screen, Zhang Hao suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder...
‘Everything is a little bit worse. If you have one more score and rebound, you have two fewer blocks... or two more blocks... more three-pointers, two more rebounds and one more assist is also excellent...'
The players of the Supersonics surround Zhang Hao to celebrate, and the Eagles felt that the sky was about to collapse!
Jordan made 15 of 31 shots, 9 of 12 free throws, and scored 39 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists. They were even turned around!
Everyone felt that this was the darkest time of their career... Jordan was not so depressed at this moment, and his expression was indescribably complicated.
Kenny Smith and Barkley ran down from the commentator seat and squeezed to Zhang Hao. Barkley said excitedly: "Aix, congratulations on your turn against Jordan. Do you know? You became the sixth player in NBA history to get 40+20+10!"
"I know now."
"You almost got a quadruple pair. Would you feel sorry?"
"Yes, I regret it. There were several times when I was defending at the basket and I thought about interfering with the opponent's shots and not making any progress. If I had known to jump a few more times, if I could get a four-double, it would be worth losing?"
"..." Barkley wanted to hit someone!
Just now he was saying, "Aix is too selfless and great. In order to win, he doesn't care about the four-double." Now Zhang Hao's official slap in the face!
This time, it was finally Kenny Smith's turn to laugh next to him.
...
...
The Supersonics reversed the Hawks to improve their record to 41 wins and 16 losses, with 47 points, 23 rebounds, 12 assists, 8 blocks, and 3 steals.
40+20+10. Before Zhang Hao, there were 10 such data, Chamberlain 6 times, Baylor 1 time, Oscar Robertson 1 time, Jabbar 1 time, and Moses Malone 1 time.
The last time such data appeared was 17 years ago.
Zhang Hao's crazy performance once again attracted the attention of the entire basketball world to him.
In previous years, when the NBA trading deadline was over in late February, the media in North American sports circles were reporting on the NCAA basketball championships, and March Madness was about to begin.
But now, the media are discussing predicting what kind of performance Zhang Hao will perform next.
Like in March 1996, March 1997, and March 1998, Zhang Hao competed with the NCAA Basketball Championship alone, especially this time, fighting the NCAA March Crazy with one person has the upper hand!
NCAA President Charlie Emert wanted to talk about life with his sword at the presidents of universities who were revealed by the media that refused to give Zhang Hao a full scholarship.
Let’s see how Zhang Hao’s performance after entering the NBA at the age of 18. How sensation would it be if such a player enters the NCAA? How much money should he make for the NCAA?
Zhang Hao once stated that he wanted to play in the NCAA for 3-4 years. Zhang Hao entered the NBA as a first-team player. After playing in the rookie season, he almost entered the NBA Top 50 in history.
The media’s comments before are hard to say. Anyway, the media’s comments are that Duncan can barely achieve Zhang Hao’s first year of entering the NBA in his senior season.
Duncan made millions of dollars in every live game in his senior season.
All of this money belongs to the NCAA, so you don't have to give players a penny.
...
This game against the Hawks has brought a huge improvement to Zhang Hao's personal performance evaluation.
A turnaround is likely to bring high praise, especially the one who plays the best in a turnaround.
The 10th time of the season is 40+, the 3rd time of the season is 40+ triple-double, the 24th time of the season is a pity that the 4-double is just 2 blocks...
But this game not only brought Zhang Hao higher attention, more topics, and more flattery.
For the entire Supersonics team, the positive significance brought by this game is very prominent.
In this game against the Hawks, the last game of 4 games in 5 days and 4 games, and if you lose, the Supersonics players won't have too many negative emotions.
But such a game completed a comeback, which is another huge improvement in the team cohesion of the Supersonics.
There is also the increase in confidence. Although this confidence revolves around Zhang Hao alone, it is better than not.
On March 1st, the new month has arrived.
The Supersonics will get two days of rest after 4 games in 5 days.
On the 1st day, the media reported that except for Zhang Hao, who drove into the Key Stadium at 7:25 in the morning, most of the other players of the Supersonics team slept until the afternoon before getting up.
The Supersonics players were also exhausted after a sensational comeback.
On March 2, the Supersonics set out for Orlando and started a four-game series.
The rest time is only 1 day, but after the game against the Hawks, the Supersonics players are more eager for victory and are more concerned about preparing for the game. If you need to rest, you have a good rest. The rest time is not in vain.
On March 3, the Supersonics challenged the Magic away. Zhang Hao scored 25 points, 11 rebounds, 13 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, winning the 25th triple-double of the season, helping the Supersonics easily defeat the Magic 94-83.
After that game against the Hawks, the Supersonics players' energy and defensive efforts were better than before!
