"Lakes fans have had three years of dreams and began their third year of waking up.

The worldly fate is like a dream, whether it is a beautiful dream or a nightmare, it is the memory that Zhang Hao needs to bring to his old club fans.

Avengers exclusive mission: Angel City's Dream Trigger.

Open the goal: Zhang Hao needs to lead the team to defeat the Lakers in this Christmas game.

Reward: Shaq O'Neal Star Experience Card Unconditional Non-consumption Advanced Use Right 1 time.

Target: Zhang Hao needs to win the advantage of winning and losing in the regular season and playoffs against the Lakers.

The dream of Angel City will be officially opened after the goal is opened."

After being traded by the Nets to the Lakers in 1995, Zhang Hao defeated the Nets for five consecutive games with the Lakers and never lost the game against the Nets.

But it was quite early that there was no task related to the Nets, that is, the Nets were no longer worthy of "revenge". After all, they didn't stay for too long and didn't leave too many thoughts.

Now the Nets are in the past, and their old club has become the Lakers...

‘The right to use the Big Fat Card without conditional advancement! Good thing! I only have the second-grade version of the Big Fat Card, which is quite good. The Big Fat Card is now even lower in the match. Even if the advanced use has a matching bonus, it will not be much higher. The negative bonus will be greater...’

The mission came a bit suddenly, and Zhang Hao chose to work hard to complete it. Originally, he didn't want to lose any game against the Lakers!

...

The first half ended with the overtake score, and the atmosphere in the Supersonics locker room was quite good.

Moreover, most of the veterans are, especially those who are mainly losers. It is clear that we cannot relax at this time and deliberately guide the locker room to continue to focus on the atmosphere of the game.

The Lakers and the Supersonics treat them as the strongest hostile in the playoffs.

The teams in the East don’t need to consider at the moment. The primary goal is to break through the Wild West. This year, there may be a grand event where all teams in the West will start with 50 wins in the first round.

However, the Supersonics players are very confident about tonight's game!

He played for 18 minutes in the first half, made 6 of 11 shots, including 2 of 4 three-pointers, plus 6 of 7 free throws, and scored 19 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks!

This performance is inseparable from the efforts of teammates.

Zhang Hao can play the whole game without rest like last season. He can perform extremely excellent physical distribution on the field and maintain excellent output.

But, if you can rest, that's better!

If he can play easily during regular time and has time to rest, he will definitely be able to perform more efficiently.

Teammates have created conditions for Zhang Hao to play like this!

Tonight's halftime performance is basically Zhang Hao's best halftime performance after the start of the new season.

Zhang Hao's current playing style has been greatly affected in terms of data.

However, adapting to different playing styles, adapting to different team concepts, and accepting different team roles at different stages of your career... In order to win, these are acceptable things.

This is not a bad treatment of him, but a change that is beneficial to him.

The veterans of the Supersonics team can stand up at important moments and get more trust from the coaching staff, which is inseparable from the "physical distribution plan". Veterans can have sufficient playing time in the game they appear, and can also get enough rest time by resting.

...

During the intermission, the Supersonics' adjustment was very steady. The details of the process can be temporarily adjusted. As long as the goal can be completed, the next strategy will continue to be implemented stably after completing the goal.

After returning from the intermission, the Supersonics coaching staff predicted that the opponent would let O'Neal rest at the beginning of the second half. O'Neal attacked with all his strength for half a quarter in the second quarter. Although O'Neal had good physical strength, his weight of 144 kilograms could not withstand such a hit.

However, Doug Collins still let Zhang Hao rest at the beginning of the third quarter. Jordan took Dell Curry, Artest, Kukoc, and Jason Williams to play for 3 minutes and scored 7 points.

As expected, the Lakers allowed Payton to lead the team at the beginning of the third quarter, Pierce and O'Neal rested, and Isaiah Leder, Dan Marley, Hores Grant and Danny Manning combined. During this period, the Lakers also played beautifully and scored 8 points.

When the Supersonics called the timeout, the score was 63 to 62, and the lead was still 1 point.

Both role players are strong and strong, both led by the oldest of the three-core team. The performances are excellent. The Lakers rely more on Payton's personal ability. Payton scored 5 points and 1 assist, Dan Marley scored a three-pointer, and Jordan led the team to play team cooperation. Jordan only scored 2 points and had no assists, but the Supersonics also scored two goals in the sports battle. Jason Williams also scored two free throws that caused a foul.

What the Supersonics players talked the most about this season is, ‘We are a team’.

During the suspension period, the two teams made personnel adjustments.

Doug Collins replaced Cassel, Ruben Patterson, Artest, Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace.

If conditions permit, Zhang Hao likes to play in the third quarter when he plays half of his playing time in the first half. The coaching staff has become accustomed to this season. Although they don’t know why, if conditions permit, Zhang Hao’s little habit will always be satisfied.

People have their own little habits, but they are not bad habits, so please feel satisfied.

After all, the emotions of the players will have an impact on the players' performance, so try to make Zhang Hao happy.

Seeing the opponent calling a timeout, Carlisle could guess that the opponent was going to replace Zhang Hao, and replaced Pierce and O'Neal. Ron Harper, Dan Marley, and Mark Madson's lineup came on.

As the game continued, the Lakers really felt what it means to be the "opponent that strong teams don't want to meet the least".

If it is a weak team, even if it is a playoff team, if the Supersonics players are in good condition, they will play halftime and think in their hearts that "giving up, you can't beat it."

But the Lakers are not ordinary playoff teams, but the top team in the league at present.

When strong teams meet the Supersonics, it doesn’t mean they have no chance to win. The Kings will win 2 wins and 1 loss this season when they play the Supersonics.

However, even if the Kings win, they will have to be consumed by the Supersonics.

It feels too tormenting to play against the Supersonics!

The Lakers' scalp was numb. When they reached 11 minutes and 27 seconds in the third quarter, the Lakers had already tied the score. After 8-7, the Lakers scored another 18-17, with 33 seconds left. The Lakers defended the next goal and could overtake the score.

The Lakers played really well in this quarter. Payton scored 9 points alone, Pierce scored 5 points, and O'Neal scored 4 points and 2 assists. The Lakers have already scored 26 points in the third quarter, and at the same time, the Supersonics scored to 24 points.

But then, Zhang Hao scored the ball in a single, and Artest cut in unyieldingly with the opportunity. This time Artest cut into the ball and took the ball and made a layup to meet O'Neal's tough throwing!

With 16 seconds left, the Lakers attacked. With 8 seconds left, Payton began to turn around and break through. Zhang Hao suddenly let O'Neal go up and pressed up, attacked and pressed Payton, and launched a counterattack!

With Jordan's counterattack receiving Zhang Hao's return pass in the counterattack, the Supersonics led the Lakers by 4 points after three quarters 84-80!

After finally recovering the 1-point difference in the first 3 minutes, I tried hard to tie the score in the next 8 minutes, but with only 33 seconds left, the Supersonics scored a 4-0 wave!

With Jordan, Zhang Hao, and Kassel, who are in equal strength and the overall condition of both sides tonight, the Supersonics can always play better at critical moments!

After the third quarter, Zhang Hao scored 28 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Zhang Hao's performance in the third quarter was stable and efficient!

This is inseparable from Jordan's outstanding performance, Kassel's 13 points, 10 points and 6 assists, veterans, Ben Wallace...

On the other hand, the crazy mood spreads on the Lakers.

Carlisle was very calm at this time and restrained the influence of negative emotions.

Carlisle now understands that the team-cooperation style around the stars is, as long as the Supersonics performs normally, there may be almost no other team except the Kings, which are invincible at the offense and defense level.

Since that's the case, Carlisle made a decisive decision to not cooperate with the team. He is not without superstars. Two big superstars + a 23-year-old future superstar, do it!

...

In the final quarter, the Lakers sent a combination of Payton, Brian Shaw, Pierce, Danny Manning and O'Neal.

Danny Manning averaged 1.3 mid-range shots per game this season, 3.4 mid-range shots per game in his career, and within 6 meters of his range, all of which were his shooting range.

Brian Shaw, one of the Lakers' most stable outside pitchers in the past few years, has comprehensive skills and when you need any type of outside but don't know who to choose, you're right to choose him.

And both of them have a good sense of team defense. When superstars play singles, Carlisle made excellent personnel adjustments.

The Supersonics replaced the combination of Cassel, Ruben Patterson, James Percy, Zhang Hao and Jason Williams in the last quarter.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Pierce made a three-pointer from the Lakers who attacked first.

Immediately afterwards, Payton turned around and broke through with a singles, hitting a jump shot against the backward jump shot.

5-0, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers took the lead by 85-84 by 1 point!

Payton and Pierce's firm style of play, O'Neal was ready to rush and grab, one round was fine, two rounds... Zhang Hao saw the opponent's strategy.

‘Sports players... Jim Carrey is amazing! This is really a good way for the Lakers to break the deadlock... But they are stars...’

It was the Supersonics' turn to attack. Zhang Hao received the ball in the top arc, faced Pierce's defense, raised the ball and drew a circle. Pierce knew at a glance that this was the three threat standing posture he taught!

Zhang Hao raised the ball and stood on tiptoe...Pearce knew it might be a fake move, but he could only lift the center of gravity up and be ready to jump at any time.

Zhang Hao took a snatch from Pierce's head and shot him from behind Pierce, and at the same time he bullied himself, turned around and wiped Pierce's back, breaking through the middle!

"The strongest first step (bronze) triggers, and the wearer Zhang Hao will start at the fastest speed. The defensive players are not as strong as Zhang Hao, and the starting effect brought by the confrontation is greatly weakened..."

Zhang Hao rushed into the inside in the middle, grabbed the ball at the dotted half-circle position within the three-point line, and made a three-step layup... O'Neal did not rush up and chose to stay in the reasonable collision zone.

This defensive choice is very good. If Zhang Hao can make a shot at that position during such high-speed movement, there is no way to do it. Blocking Zhang Hao's attack space is the best way.

But Zhang Hao made a three-step layup, only the first step was to land, and then took the second step and took off directly!

When O'Neal realized that Zhang Hao had this move, it was too late!

Zhang Hao's shoulders were contracting inward when exerting force on his lower limbs and waist, and made a layup with an anti-coordinated step!

If you have more skills, you won’t be able to suppress yourself. When you practice top-notch skills to the top, other less-than-than-excellent skills will also get more opportunities to display.

O'Neal looked at Zhang Hao's back as he turned around to retreat after completing the layup, thinking of what Carlisle said, "We must take advantage of the time Zhang is resting on the court and restraining it."

‘It’s all the last quarter, this kid needs a rest? Rick is still too young…’

O'Neal believed that if you give a chance, Zhang Hao's playing style that consumes a lot of energy just now will definitely be able to beat Zhang Hao in the last quarter!

Head-on-head, directly against Tung's strongest combat power, compared to continuity. O'Neal thinks this is good, but it is definitely not an easy task.

He knew so much about how strong Zhang Hao was at the critical moment!
