Duncan's data could have been better. After Raheem joined, Duncan's playing time increased and his scoring data also declined.

Originally Coleman could still support the substitute at the center position, now...

Iverson is also in the same situation, and the data has also declined a lot, a new low since the shutdown.

‘There are more Van Horn and Rahim, this is a normal situation, not only normal, but also a situation worthy of vigilance. In the summer, they have the conditions to strengthen. 58. The monkeys are giving up the right to take action for Rahim and Van Horn, and they are willing to give up for the championship...’

Zhang Hao was thinking about what obstacles the 76ers would bring to him in the future. Several major stars on the 76ers looked at the Supersonics lineup and thought of the second generation of the ball who was about to join the Supersonics...

‘Why are the rookies chosen by the opponent so talented?’

This is the most difficult thing that stars of major teams have to understand about the Supersonics after the start of this season.

The Supersonics have won the championship in the past two seasons, but no one noticed this because the Supersonics have been dominated by veterans in the past two seasons, and they wish they could not wait to have the rhythm of all veterans in the entire lineup.

This year is different, all veterans are cleared, and players over 30 can't make up all the money.

Fans have different opinions from the media.

The Supersonics are the defending champions of two consecutive championships. No matter what, the media regard the Supersonics as stronger than in the previous two years. This is something that must be done to create topics and increase ratings.

Most fans think that the championship is so powerful. Some people who know football know that every time they win the championship, they won’t be able to have a better life in the new season, but after all, there are only a few people who know football. Most people still think what the media says.

The players are different. The Supersonics' championship rivals are very clear that the Supersonics have won the championship in the past two seasons, and the veterans who are swarming in and holding their thighs have played a big role.

Experience, for the sake of the championship, give up the opportunity to perform...

This season, the Supersonics did not want veterans and worked hard to train young players. Not to mention experience, determination, etc., strength alone is a big problem.

But Parker, Ginobili, Chandler, and Kirilianko played well in the first and second graders! Parker was also favored by the Grizzlies, who used subsequent trades to help the Supersonics get Odom with Parker trades!

Looking at Chandler, Kirilenko, Artest, Odom, Ben Wallace, Zhang Hao standing opposite each other, the rotation of three frontcourt positions consisting of these six people...

Chris Anderson, Reggie Evans and Jason Williams are also very distinctive and functional players.

Iverson really wants to ask you, you have a rookie, Matt Barnes, on the other side, if you want to use it, right? Will you give it to us next year?

In recent years, the rookies selected by the Supersonics now seem to be able to play all of them!

I haven't seen it too much in the past two seasons, so Artest has made it clear. This season has proved the Supersonics' draft strength very well.

This also shows a situation that if the Supersonics do not choose to train new players this season, they may not be able to trade Odom.

Look at the team that wanted to get young players of the Supersonics before. The Bucks provided Ray Allen, who didn't want to stay in the team, and was unwilling to trade later; the Pistons wanted to give Starkhouse; the Supersonics wanted a serious reward, Eddie Jones, Finley, Reed, Hamilton... they all got nothing.

But now, after Parker showed his talent to average more than ten points per game while also getting four or five assists in the second grade, the Grizzlies helped the Supersonics fight for Odom...

Iverson, Duncan, Raheem and others talked about this in private and came to a conclusion that the Supersonics did not look for veterans, and there were many plans!

Zhang Hao has entered his peak period. He can help the team train young people and make progress with the young people like O'Neal of the Lakers and Kassel and Jordan of the Supersonics in the past few years.

Then, you can show off your talent and show your talent.

Then, through this series of methods, we will create a lineup continuity for many years in the future!

This will definitely be difficult, and it is very risky to do this in the years of defending the title for two consecutive championships. The Supersonics must also defend the title. When other teams need young talents, they have to give it...

But at this time, Zhang Hao and Ben Wallace's horrifying personal performance led the team to a 23-game winning streak, making many problems not a problem.

The Supersonics don’t need to be troubled by their record or fight for ranking... After 23 consecutive victories, the Supersonics have a record of less than 70%, and they still have the chance to win 60, and they are very stable.

The game is about to begin, and the two teams have prepared for the pre-match. Iverson stood on the sidelines and said to Duncan: "Tim, do you think the world is really that unfair?"

Instead of answering the question, Duncan put his hand on Iverson's head and said, "It's not fair to everyone else in our class."

Iverson was no longer struggling and even wanted to shave his head, but retorted: "We are both the strongest in the same class!"

"He is also the strongest in our generation."

Iverson was unhappy now, slapped Duncan's hand off and said, "I am the strongest of our generation!"

Duncan put his hand back and said, "Yes, yes, yes..."

Looking at Duncan who was not at ease with this matter, Iverson was angry at him... If he said that the strongest one was Duncan, he would probably not even respond twice.

...

At 7:30 pm, the Supersonics' home game against the 76ers started.

Although there is basically no hope of winning the championship this year, and at most it will be 50 wins in the regular season, the 76ers players are still very motivated.

What if they have so many stars?

Moreover, in the stage, the combination of Snow, Iverson, Van Horn, Raheem, Duncan of the 76ers and the combination of Cassel, Brent Barry, Artest, Zhang Hao, and Ben Wallace of the Supersonics, is really hard to tell!

Unlike the Supersonics who mainly focus on defense, Hubby Brown is an all-around coach similar to Don Nelson. His offense and defense can be done well. He has been coaching for more than ten years and has been the best coach twice, which is quite powerful.

When Duncan went to the center position, the power forward and small forward positions ushered in a double front combination where Van Horn and Raheem could switch seamlessly, the 76ers adjusted toward the direction of the brisk offensive basketball, doing a pretty good job!

With Duncan guarding the frame, Raheem's defense was quite sharp when playing power forwards, and Snow and Iverson did a good job in the backs. Van Horn was trained by Kidd and Byron Scott for several years and had a good team defense awareness... Although the defense of the 76ers plummeted compared to the past few years, it is still above the level.

Of course, as far as the 76ers are concerned, they are not sure what to do, but this can prove Huby Brown's ability. Under limited conditions, he is already starting to make adjustments and plans for the future.

More than 8 minutes before the first quarter, the 76ers played the Supersonics 28-20, and the bombing made the Supersonics feel bad.

But in the last three minutes of the first quarter, the 76ers were blocked by the Supersonics. The Supersonics made a 11-2 counterattack. After the first quarter, the Supersonics overtook the 76ers by 1 point.

After the second quarter, the rhythm of the game changed in a favorable direction for the Supersonics. The score was 17-16 in a single quarter. After the Supersonics played in half, the score was 48-46, leading by two points into the second half.

In the third quarter, Zhang Hao first made a breakthrough throw in the middle of the third quarter, and then made three three-pointers in a row. He was fouled by the opponent for three consecutive rounds, and made 5 free throws. He scored 16 points in 4 minutes. The 76ers, who wanted to try to fight for a defense, led the team to a 29-game score in a single quarter.

After the third quarter, the Supersonics led the 76ers 77 to 67 and entered the final quarter by 10 points!

In the last quarter, the 76ers played well and the Supersonics played well, but when they were all OK, the 76ers would have no chance.

The 76ers scored 25 points in the last quarter and the Supersonics scored 24 points.

Ben Wallace is the core, Odom organizes the offense well, Zhang Hao and Kassel score well... steadily defend the lead!

In the end, relying on Zhang Hao's 16th single game of 40+ in the season, scoring 43 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals, the Supersonics steadily defeated the 76ers 101-92!

Ben Wallace had 10 points, 14 rebounds and 2 blocks, Odom had 8 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block, Artest had 7 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, Kassel had 15 points and 6 assists... The overall performance was quite outstanding!

After the Supersonics traded Odom, the 76ers stars were paying attention to the changes in the Supersonics.

It's really done!

A genius who has performed no worse than Rahim's overall performance in the past three seasons has been a substitute for the Supersonics... It seems that he is quite happy to play!

Iverson and others could understand Odom's happiness to win.

Just like after joining the 76ers, Rahim played the worst stats in his career but was very happy.

Even though the Sixers are now the weakest year since Duncan entered the NBA, Rahim is no different from the fantasy season.

Rahim has not played in the playoffs in the past six seasons, with the best year, 36 wins and 46 losses, and 10th in the West.

The key is that Rahim is in good health and is amazingly good. He has missed 8 games in 6 seasons. He has fought and was suspended and has never been absent due to injury.

In this case, Rahim averaged 20 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block every year since his second grade... He was still very enthusiastic about playing hard, thanks to the 76ers who brought him back...

For the Supersonics, after defeating the 76ers, the record turned into 56 wins and 16 losses, and there were still 10 games left to play!

...

On March 29, the Supersonics faced the Wizards in their last consecutive home game.

The second time this season is the Wizards!

At present, the Wizards have played 70 games, with 38 wins and 32 losses, and their performance is quite outstanding. Wizards coach Eddie Jordan has become the favorite candidate for the best coach. Compared with last season, the progress is indeed great. No matter what the progress is, this progress is great.

"Yao Ming, 22 years old, 226 cm, 133 kg, ability evaluation 86... Average 15.8 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.8 blocks... shooting percentage 53.2%, free throw percentage 81%..."

‘The efficiency of the frame protection has improved, the number of blocks has decreased, the score has decreased, the rebounds have improved, and the contribution of the court has improved...’

Zhang Hao looked at Yao Ming's player detection report and analyzed the conclusions that were similar to those of the scout report.

Centers like Yao Ming, like O'Neal and Duncan, cannot fully reflect their influence in the game.

‘Wait, just like this, in order to protect Duncan for a team, the league will definitely not let Duncan be placed in the center position to judge awards. The center position is Dapang and Daben, two best-ranked players... Damn! It's really an odd number of best-ranked players? The third team, that's also a team!"

It was different from twenty years ago. At that time, the team selected the first few rookies and tried to be a star who saved the team. At that time, the team was very confident about the rookies with high picks, but if they were not easy to use, they gave up quickly.

At that time, it was indeed almost every year that rookies were selected into the Best Team.

But after entering the 1990s, it changed. Even players like O'Neal and Mooning failed to be selected for the Best Team in the rookie season, until Zhang Hao started the rookie again and was selected for the Best Team, then the 1997th class, and then the 1999th class, and there was no one else. Now the 2001 class is about to be selected for the Best Team again!

Zhang Hao thought about it. In today's league, although Yao Ming will only reach the top level, except for O'Neal and Ben Wallace, there is no other player who is placed in the center position who plays better than Yao Ming's rookie season.

If someone had to fight, only Wang Zhizhi, Da Z, and Brad Miller were left.

The probability of Big Z and Brad Miller is very small, and Wang Zhizhi is only half a pound with Yao Ming at most.

The more Zhang Hao thought about it, the more excited he became. Yao Ming walked in front of him and was ignored by him.

‘???’ Yao Ming looked at Zhang Hao who was walking straight past him, and looked at his hand, it didn’t turn into transparent!

Also, when he saw the excitement in Zhang Hao's eyes and the uncontrollable expression of excitement, he felt very bad!

...

The Wizards took a decisive approach today and played defense with the Supersonics, which was really good!

Yao Ming protects the frame, Larry Hughes defends the front line, Tyron Lu and Hamilton switch to the round of defense in the back line, Jerome James and Yao Ming's defensive combination is getting better and better. Jerome James has squeezed Kristen Letterner to the bench. He is willing to do dirty work and tiring work, helping Yao Ming reduce a lot of defensive burden.
