There is no shortage of big news in the playoffs, but after 15 years, another rookie was selected for the first time, which has become the most sensational thing at present.

A player No. 23 in Chicago who did not want to be named wanted to kill a villain!

The afternoon news report, the first thing about the NBA news was that Zhang Hao was selected for a while, and he occupied the longest length.

Even when he was interviewed by media, he kept asking about Zhang Hao about it.

At this moment, a voice in the dark told him that as half of the 40+ score rankings in the active playoffs, you should wear your treasured leather pants.

It's really big news and a sensational event.

Since Larry Bird, in the past 15 years, Drexler, Dominic Wilkins, Ralph Sampson, Jordan, Olajuwon, David Robinson, O'Neal... and other talented players have appeared, but these people are selected for the second team in their rookie season, at most like Jordan, Ralph Sampson, and David Robinson.

Although Zhang Hao is not inferior to these people in terms of performance, judging from the strength he has seen, not many people think that Zhang Hao is better than these people.

Zhang Hao's fatal weakness is that he cannot lead the team alone and needs a passer. He really started to play at the first-line star level, and it was after the Magician came back.

However, the media did not criticize this best team vote one-sidedly. On the contrary, after reporting that Zhang Hao was selected for the first time, many media deliberately used language and data to guide readers and audiences to develop the preconceived concept of "Zhang Hao performed a series of performances in the rookie season". At this time, they read the data again and found that there was no problem with Zhang Hao being selected for the first time.

Lakers fans are naturally willing to accept such guidance.

These media are all media that voted for Zhang Hao.

Some people praise Zhang Hao, and naturally there are also media that criticize the best lineup vote this time.

Fans rarely focus on the media, but on the "beneficiaries".

The sensation caused by the best team continued, but time did not stop.

At 4:30 pm, the second round of the Magic and Pacers started.

The Magic clearly had the advantage. Schmitz was too thin to prevent O'Neal, forcing Dell Davis to shrink, making Anthony Hardaway play on the outside as easy as possible.

Anfini Hardaway played well in this game, but he did not become the focus of media attention as in the first round.

The Magic team, a top-level team with a first-team player and a third-team player, was ignored at this time...

The media and fans' attention was focused on another team with a first-team player and a third-team player.

...

At 6:40 pm, the Great Western Forum Arena, the Lakers and Rockets entered the stadium.

The atmosphere at the Great Western Forum Gallery tonight is very high!

After watching his super rookie being selected for a while, he still looked calm. This scene made the fans scream!

Lakers players were also incredible by Zhang Hao's calm expression.

After an afternoon, news reports from major media have already come out.

"Why not me?"

Zhang Hao's answer at the press conference attracted fans crazy and increased black fans wildly.

Only when there are different voices can there be controversy and attract more intense topics. Obviously, the topics caused by this incident were sensational.

But Zhang Hao, who is at the center of the topic, is as usual.

After the press conference, Zhang Hao went to lie down and rest. At 4 pm, he started warming up in advance as usual and preparing for the competition.

It feels like - Oh, I won the award.

There is nothing else.

The Rockets players feel even more exaggerated.

Just the rookie on the opposite side got this incident for a while!

Even the legendary superstar Olajuwon was surprised by Zhang Hao's performance after winning the award.

Before the game, Zhang Hao greeted the opponent's superstar as he did under the previous magician.

After saying hello, Olajuwon seemed to sigh: "Aix, you are already better than all the players on the scene. Even Elvin and I are not as good as you."

Zhang Hao narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and in a moment, he responded as usual: "I will work hard to win 5 championships like Mr. Johnson, or like Mr. Olajuwon, you, to win 2 championships + two consecutive finals MVP."

The magician was very satisfied with Zhang Hao's answer - ignoring this topic for a while, refusing to be alienated, modestly speaking out the huge gap in honor, and finally stumbled on it without any trace.

Olajuwon smiled heartily, exchanged greetings, and then went back to the visiting team bench.

When he went back, Olajuwang curled his lips. Although he had a good impression of Zhang Hao and was very polite, he felt that it was quite tricky for such an opponent who was too calm.

On the other hand, Zhang Hao returned to the bench, and he was already used to the various eyes of his teammates and the cheers of the fans on the scene.

As for whether he is really that calm?

Now that the game is about to begin, he is very focused, calm, and excited about the game that is about to begin.

But in fact, at the beginning, he did not escape from shock and ecstasy in 3 seconds, but was forced...

"Because of special signing player Zhang Hao was selected for the first team of the NBA in his rookie season. Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: selected for the first team of the rookie season for the first team of the rookie season (except Zhang Hao)."

"Because of special signing player Zhang Hao being selected as the first team of the NBA's best team in the rookie season, it caused a sensation and caused huge controversy, and attracted widespread attention and dissatisfaction among active NBA superstars. Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Special signing player Zhang Hao's exclusive medal: provocation."

"Provocation (exclusive to Zhang Hao): Automatic wear cannot be removed. The system will be taken back when the contract is cancelled. When wearing this medal, Zhang Hao can always become the most important target for the opponent's superstars on the court. The additional effect depends on the opponent's personality characteristics."

I looked at these two tips again, and looked at the props section and medal section again.

A must-have awesome star experience card, an automatic medal wearing without a level, and two rewards for surprises.

The former is happy, the latter is shocked.

A complex emotion emerged again, and Zhang Hao took a deep breath to suppress this emotion.

In fact, despite receiving a pretty bad reward, at least there is a star experience card.

Moreover, even if there is no star experience card and only the reward of that debuff, Zhang Hao is still excited and does not refuse to be selected for a while.

It's a rookie! If it weren't for a group of killing media before, he would have just found a place to jump around in the afternoon.

Fortunately, the shame of seeing him singing and dancing on TV before made him feel calm in his character.

"Now it seems that this medal that mocks the face effect at least has the effect of the two superstars of the Rockets just to make them pay more attention to me. Why do I feel a little bit of a pity?"

...

The Lakers and Rockets game is about to begin.

Before the start, the Lakers staff ran out of the player channel and told the Magic and others the results of the game between the Magic and the Pacers. The Magic paid a tip and specially hired staff to come out to watch the game and tell them.

41 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. With Anfini Hardaway's performance of 40+ in a single game, the Magic beat the Pacers 117 to 106 and won the first victory in the series.

Anthony Hardaway played so well, Zhang Hao estimated that O'Neal would be suspected of whether he was worth a contract worth 100 million after the game...

"It's really a welcome thing."

After complaining inwardly, Zhang Hao took a look at the opponent's changed starting lineup.

"Olajuwon's ability evaluation 98... Drexler's ability evaluation 90... Kassel's ability evaluation 87... Horry's ability evaluation 82... Bryant's ability evaluation 69..."

Tomjanovic adjusted Kassel to the starting position in the playoffs, but the others remained unchanged.

However, in terms of ability evaluation, Olajuwon became stronger in the playoffs!

It is obvious that Olajuwon played better in the playoffs than in the regular season.

This was the same last year. Zhang Hao didn't find it strange that Olajuwon, who was still at the peak of his tail, had such a performance.

Looking around the opponent's starting lineup, when he saw Kassel, Zhang Hao once again saw Kassel's warm smile...

Soon, at 7 pm, the referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game and threw the ball into the air.

Zhang Hao won the jump this time!

Zhang Hao and George Lynch pressed quickly. The Rockets defended their fast attacks very well, but the Lakers were also prepared. Zhang Hao received the ball in one step within the free throw line and was blocked by Mark Bryant and Drexler, and passed the ball back to the top arc. Doug Christie received the ball and made a three-pointer... hit!

After the first round, the Lakers' fast break started more changes.

When the Rockets attacked, the defending champion gave the Lakers a quick response, and Olajuwon received the ball from a low post.

The Lakers have tried two games in the regular season and have effectively defended. Zhang Hao, who defended Kassel, retracted. Olajuwon passed the ball to Kassel, and Kassel only made a slow breakthrough when Zhang Hao returned to defense. At this time, Olajuwon pulled out and blocked Zhang Hao who had expanded from outside the free throw line. George Lynch retracted from the right sideline to make up for defense. Kassel passed the ball at the bottom corner, and Robert Horry's three-pointer hit!

The Lakers were not happy that the offense became more diverse at the beginning, and the Rockets responded.

After scoring the goal, the Rockets quickly retreated and attacked the Lakers and fell into the positional battle.

Zhang Hao slipped through the baseline and attracted the attention of the opponent's defensive. Van Exel tried to seize the opportunity to pass it to George Lynch who cut in. George Lynch entered the three-second zone and received the ball. When he raised it, he was intercepted by Olajuwon who moved to the side!

Looking back, Olajuwon moved low to the right side of the free throw line and made a jump shot with a long two-point catcher, and the Rockets quickly took the initiative!

How desperate were the Magic facing the Rockets last year? How desperate were the Jazz facing the Rockets for two consecutive years last year and this year?

The Lakers felt...

In the first quarter, the Rockets cut off their pass line, blocked the basket offense, and defended the inside back to catch and shoot with the ball to the fullest, and the Lakers were at a loss.

The Lakers made only 8 of 18 shots in the first quarter, two of which were three-pointers, plus 4 of them made 5 free throws, and only scored 22 points.

The Rockets' own offense was very fierce, making 14 of 21 shots in the first quarter, including 2 of 3 three-pointers, plus 5 of 6 free throws, and 35 points in a single quarter!

22-35, the Lakers fell 13 points behind in the first quarter!

Although I thought from the beginning that it might not be a match for the Rockets, the Rockets' performance in the past two years has exploded. Last year, the sixth-one Western Conference wins the championship, but the start is still too miserable!
To be continued...
