83. A gentleman's revenge

At 3:29 pm, after making the final discussion before the game, Zhang Hao, Kenny Anderson, Graham, Levitra, and PJ Brown came on the court.

Chiles, Gilliam, Jason Williams, Vaughan Fleming and Kevin Edwards on the opposite side also came on the court.

As for the strongest players, Zhang Hao thinks that their Kenny Anderson is definitely the strongest in the team, but it is hard to say which of the strength of these two lineups is stronger. Chiles has played in Europe for several years and has excellent offensive organization in positional battles. Edwards and Fleming are the best substitutes on their team's forward and counters. Gilliam's singles ability at the peak tail cannot be matched, and Jason Williams is a very tough inside.

The biggest advantage of their team A is that they are young and energetic.

"gogogo, go up, let's beat the guys on the other side!"

Kenny Anderson has always been eager to be the boss. He wants to determine his position from the beginning and start working hard for this in the training match.

Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson, one infects his teammates from temperament and the other in terms of speech. The five players of Team A have all ignited strong fighting spirit!

PJ Brown and Jason Williams came to the middle circle and looked at each other with a sense of fighting in their eyes.

These two are actually competitors, or they are competitors with Zhang Hao, but PJ Brown chose to join Kenny Anderson's camp, because while the three of them are competitors, Zhang Hao can partner with any of the two. Both are sports-style pie + defense players, and Zhang Hao is a ball-free pitcher. To be honest, Zhang Hao can cooperate with both of them.

At 3:30, the trainer who was referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game and threw the ball into the air. The training game began.

After the game started, the biggest difference between this game and Zhang Hao's expectations was immediately revealed - the intensity and level of the game were far beyond his expectations! The other nine players on the court were no weaker than any opponent in the games he had played before!

He was a little confused after the game started. He chose any of these players, and in terms of cooperation and experience, they were stronger than the opponents he had faced before.

It is not as simple as he expected to want to get rid of defense. When he was running in the middle distance, his opponents strictly prevented him from being able to kill him because of the ability to shoot in the mid-range, and would rather miss others than give him a chance to shoot in the mid-range.

On the defensive end, it is undoubtedly clear that his ability and experience are insufficient.

Fortunately, Kenny Anderson used his threat of mid-range shots to create a good opportunity for his teammates who were outside the three-point line and cut into the basket. For a time, the two teams looked equal.

Team A relies on speed, Zhang Hao's restraint, and Kenny Anderson's main control; Team B relies on Chiles' positional combat offensive sorting ability, Gilliam's ability to attack the basket and positional combat singles ability.

Butch Baird watched the training match on the sidelines to analyze the situation of the two teams. It can be seen that in Team A, under the constraints of Zhang Hao and PJ Brown, Kenny Anderson's offensive organization was very good; in Team B, the Chiles' positional battle offensive organization was indeed first-class.

However, all of this is based on the fact that this is just a team training match, that is, the overall strength of the two teams is almost the same, so they can play so harmoniously. Once the opponent's strength reaches the playoff level, they probably won't have the strength to fight back.

Also, once there is a problem with the key players of the two teams, they can't even maintain such performance.

Just as you played, Zhang Hao, who had no chance to score for a while, became impatient.

He is not used to it, not used to the situation where there is no shooting opportunity. Since his senior year, he has been the team's No. 2 scorer. When he was in his senior year, he often scored higher than Pierce. In the Adidas Training Camp Classic, he also scored the highest in the game. Now he is really not used to this situation. So his running rhythm is messy, and he started to sprint at full speed regardless of the situation. Finally, he got an open opportunity. Kenny Anderson also seized the opportunity to pass the ball to his hands.

However! The appearance of a gap does not mean that this is an open shooting opportunity.

An open shooting opportunity is a combination of space, rhythm, position, etc., which can only be called an open shooting opportunity. This time, Zhang Hao can only say that he ran out of an open space and took the ball and shot hard!

Jason Williams grabbed the ball that bounced back from the front of the basket. Team B quickly pressed the ball. The speed was not fast, but the rhythm was very stable, and the overall pressure was up.

Seeing that Zhang Hao missed the shot just now and Jason Williams, who had just grabbed the rebound, was very excited. After arriving at the frontcourt, he saw Zhang Hao retreating in panic and defending to the basket. Jason Williams' eyes lit up and he accelerated to rush into the basket!

The B team's strongest athletic ability is Jason Williams. His athletic ability is not inferior to PJ Brown, and his rush into the inside is also very good. Chiles seized the opportunity and passed the ball to Jason Williams. Jason Williams rushed to the basket. Zhang Hao didn't have time to withdraw and his defensive position was not good. He was knocked back by Jason Williams. He watched Jason Williams complete the dunk!

Originally, Team A was just because Edwards on the opposite side made a three-pointer, and they missed the jump ball and they were 3 points behind 10-13. Zhang Hao missed the offensive in this round, retreated to the basket on the defensive end but failed to block Jason Williams. The difference suddenly turned into 5 points! Kenny Anderson called a timeout.

Looking at Zhang Hao's face was confused, Kenny Anderson reached up and patted Zhang Hao on the shoulder: "Brother, don't care, it's just a training match."

Kenny Anderson understands Zhang Hao's current situation very well. He was the same when he first entered the NBA as a second-tier pick. He played very poorly in the early stage of the rookie season, but in the late stage of the season, he played very well, firmly in the team's main rotation position, and in the second grade, he averaged 16.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 8.2 assists, and 1.7 steals, becoming a first-class point guard.

Kenny Anderson could see that Zhang Hao worked very hard and wanted to perform well, but like him back then, he was too anxious.

One advantage of this person is that he is good at listening to the guidance of his predecessors. This is a social way he learned when he was working in his "last life". When facing the guidance of his predecessors in the company, no matter whether it is right or not, it is useful or not. As long as he either listens to the wrong guidance, he will listen to the arrangements for the time being and not offends the predecessors. If he does the right thing, he will flatter the predecessors. If he makes a small mistake, he will take it on his own and get a little bit of self-blame from his predecessors...

Obviously, Kenny Anderson was right. Zhang Hao became anxious after being detained. Fortunately, Kenny Anderson called a timeout immediately to calm him down.

After entering the timeout, Zhang Hao looked back at the past few minutes and found that the opponent was really defensive against his mid-range shot, because the team defended just like that. After being divided into two teams, Kenny Anderson and PJ Brown were separated. Team B must be more afraid of him, because as long as you have eyes, you can see who performed best in mid-range shot training in their team.

There is probably no chance for CFM. Zhang Hao recalled the opponent's defense just now and felt that he should adjust his playing style... No, he must adjust his playing style! He doesn't have to show his CFM. Now it seems that there may be no need to show his CFM ability, because his teammates should all agree with his CFM ability, otherwise he wouldn't be so careful!

Kenny Anderson and Randy Whitman, who was the coach of Team A, saw Zhang Hao's expression turning from an impatient expression to a contemplative mood, and finally regained his spirit. While they were surprised by Zhang Hao's ability to adjust his mindset, they also felt relieved.

Randy Whitman originally wanted to replace Zhang Hao and communicate with Zhang Hao. Now it seems unnecessary. This lineup continues to be on! As for whether it is fair to the five substitutes... who cares?

Zhang Hao is the young genius who is most likely to become a star in the team except Kenny Anderson. If Zhang Hao can be trained, they are willing to give up all players except Kenny Anderson, especially frontcourt players. Their goal this year is Duncan! That second-year class has super genius at the NBA's first-class inside level.

After calming down, Zhang Hao was a little worried that he would not have a chance to perform, because the opponent was substituting Gerald Gusla for Vaughan Fleming. The veteran performed very well, had enough experience and solid skills, and there was no need to investigate anymore. Team B began to inspect another substitute forward, but Randy Whitman did not make any arrangements, as if he simply stopped the game and let the players slow down, which made Zhang Hao breathe a sigh of relief.

Back on the court, Jason Williams ran to Zhang Hao and said, "A strong guy, come on, let me see your ability..."

After saying that, Jason Williams ran back to the other side with pride.

Kenny Anderson saw the anger in Zhang Hao's eyes and said, "Calm down, don't be angry by him... Just find an opportunity to deduct it back. Next time you have a chance, you still have to vote decisively. Don't worry, be patient."

Zhang Hao took a deep breath. He was angry for a moment because of Jason Williams' ridicule, but he quickly calmed down.

Although Zhang Hao expected that he would be a competitor with Jason Williams in the power forward position, it was the same for him to compete for any position. Now, except Inka Dell, there is no other serious center in their team. If the position automatically goes up, then he is really competing for the starting power forward position.

Originally, he was a little resistant to the power forward position, but now, he just wants to fight!

It was originally difficult to compete for the starting small forward with Almond Gilliam. He was really ready to play as a substitute, but now that he has started to compete for the position of the power forward... Then let's compete!

Team A continued to attack. After returning to the court, Zhang Hao calmed down and continued to wander around in the middle distance, looking for opportunities to catch and shoot, but he didn't have the opportunity and was not impatient. Team B obviously didn't let him go because of his mid-range shot just now.

However, this time, Zhang Hao's vision was wider when he was looking for opportunities in the Chinese New Year. At the same time, he was looking for another opportunity. He was really suspending his first attack when he came back. That opportunity came! It was not much the same as expected, but when Zhang Hao saw a cutting line, he immediately rushed into the inside line!

On the teammates, Kenny Anderson had no choice but to pass the ball to Graham, who had not had a real chance. Graham missed a three-pointer, and the ball hit the basket and bounced high on the neck.

Jason Williams was about to catch PJ Brown and rushed in when he saw an opponent who was about to be as tall as him but was thin as his. Jason Williams was not afraid, and was ready to rise up. He reached out to the ball with his right hand, preparing to take the rebound in the confrontation, and carried Zhang Hao's impact to take the rebound and showed off his strength.

When it comes to rebounding, he is not afraid of anyone!

However, when Jason Williams exploded, he failed to withstand Zhang Hao's impact with the tonnage as he expected. Instead, Zhang Hao, who jumped, suppressed him tightly!

Zhang Hao rushed into the inside and pressed the ball into the basket with Jason Williams on the head!
Chapter completed!
