87. Talking is not a day's work (seeking the moon)

"Aix, tonight is your first official game. Although there is no live broadcast, if you perform well, there will definitely be videos. The opening game of the regular season will definitely be live broadcast. You don't have to pay too much attention to the performance of this preseason... Oh my God, I finally saw a Chinese player appearing on the NBA. I am so lucky to be the first Chinese player to enter the NBA for the first official game reporter..."

While warming up, Xu Jicheng from Xinhua News Agency kept thinking about it as if he was in a dizzy way.

Then the warm-up ended, at 5:15, when I was about to enter, another big guy who was thinking about it came: "Aix, the real NBA game is about to be played. Don't be too excited or too anxious. Take your time and adapt to the game first. It doesn't matter if you don't play well. Learn from experience and find a way to continue if you play well..."

Kenny Anderson believes that he is a man who wants to be the eldest brother, so of course he has to do what the eldest brother should do.

He always felt that Zhang Hao was too young and was worried, so he started to coach Zhang Hao and help Zhang Hao fight for it in the coaching team... and then he gradually started talking.

The nature of a chatterbox is not a one-day effort. Kenny Anderson is still in a messy stage, but he has already developed into a chatterbox.

It is easy to worry about, this is a rare trait. Zhang Hao has this trait. He can always make the people around him worry. As long as the people who are worried are not introverted, they are often chatterboxes...

After Zhang Hao came to the United States, he got used to Pierce's nagging. Xu Jicheng's mumbling was not strong enough. Coupled with Kenny Anderson's mumbling, the addition of the two made Zhang Hao feel the pre-match mode that he was used to in high school.

I actually feel an inexplicable sense of security...

At 5:20 pm, Zhang Hao and his teammates entered the stadium.

Walking into the stadium, Zhang Hao looked at the nearly 20,000 fans at the scene, full!

After thinking about the ticket price...the average ticket price of $8.6...

"If two NBA teams come to our village to play, the ticket price is like this, even if I don't really like these two teams, I will spend this little money to take a look..."

I thought so, but Zhang Hao's heartbeat couldn't stop speeding up, and the high-spirited fighting spirit appeared again. The teammates saw Zhang Hao with a belligerent light in his eyes for the second time, and felt Zhang Hao's desire for the game again, and couldn't help but have similar emotions.

Most players who can enter the NBA love basketball very much. Perhaps this love will fade away because of years of unsuccessful success in professional arenas, but this enthusiasm has not been erased, but it has been smoothed out by reality.

Even Jason Williams, when the game was about to start, saw Zhang Hao's eyes flashing, and thought it was good to have such a teammate...

"Hiss..." Jason Williams pinched his thigh hard, feeling that he had been hit by an evil spell from the East and had to be awake!

Zhang Hao came to the bench to sit down. Randy Whitman did not put him in the starting lineup this morning.

In this game, the Nets' starting arrangements: Kenny Anderson, Edwards, Gilliam, Jason Williams, PJ Brown.

Zhang Hao has no objection to this arrangement. He feels that when the showdown time is over in the starting stage, he will be more conducive to his adaptation to NBA games.

The preseason of the rookie season is for rookies like him to adapt to the game, and it is very important.

"Special signing player Zhang Hao is about to start the first preseason game of the NBA 1995-1996 season. The host can use the player detection system to observe the player ability evaluation of his opponent's team for analysis and guidance to Zhang Hao."

"Larry Johnson, ability evaluation 89...

Glenn Rice, ability evaluation 86...

Kendall Gill, ability evaluation 85..."

"Is that strong... By the way, they won 50 last season...!"

"Dell Curry 79, Scott Burrell 77, Matt Geiger 75...Okay..."

Zhang Hao sat down peacefully. The gap in strength was quite obvious, and it was useless to worry. Isn’t this the case with life?

At 5:30 pm, the referee blew the whistle that started the game and threw the ball into the air. PJ Brown beat the opposite Geiger and pushed the ball towards Kenny Anderson, and the game began.

Kenny Anderson is very powerful, the team is the strongest. Although his physical condition has not returned to his best condition, he still steadily suppressed Kendal Gill in terms of pass control.

However, as the game deepened, the Nets fell into a disadvantage without any surprise.

Halfway through the first quarter, after 6 minutes and 07 seconds, the Nets were 15-19 and 4 points behind the Hornets to enter the first official timeout.

The pace of the game is very fast!

"This score is a bit exaggerated! Isn't this iron-blooded era this year... Oh no, the Magic ranked first in the league in averaging 110.9 points last season, and there seemed to be two other teams that averaged 110 points per game last season.

I was a little dizzy. I thought about it. It seemed that the lifelong enemy of the God of Purposer and Armani had just left the Knicks and joined the Heat. It is still the tail of the early 1990s.

It seems that the three-point line was shortened last season, and the favorable defensive conditions brought about by the shortening of the three-point line this season will be truly used by all teams..."

Zhang Hao finally clarified the two memories' different views on this matter.

Randy Whitman was quite satisfied with Kenny Anderson's recovery, much better than expected. After the training game, he thought Kenny Anderson would slackew on his teammates because of his weakness, but he didn't expect that he looked pretty good.

The team's strength is just like this. Randy Whitman no longer considers winning or losing and starts to rotate. With a wave of his hand, he begins to train the lottery. The combination of Kenny Anderson, Graham, Vaughan Fleming, Zhang Hao, and PJ Brown was replaced.

"Aix, I'm not worried about you on the offensive end. Even if you perform poorly, it doesn't matter. You just need to adapt to the confrontation and the game in the preseason. The important thing is that you have to learn to defend. Your body shape, speed, and physical strength have the potential to become an excellent defensive player. Don't worry about losing positions. It doesn't matter, try to make up for defense..."

Before going on stage, we chatted with players Butcher Berder and Zhang Hao were reminded.

After listening to the head coach's advice, Zhang Hao stepped onto the court and the prompt suddenly came!

"Special signing player Zhang Hao will step onto the professional arena to participate in the official competition, and will participate in the competition as a preseason. Mission: new players will be triggered."

"See newcomers:

Objective: Special signing player Zhang Hao needs to help his team, the Nets, win at least 4 preseason games.

Reward: Win 4 wins, reward lifespan of 15 days. For every extra victory, you will get an additional 5 days of lifespan, and you can get a maximum of 30 days of lifespan."

"Special signing player Zhang Hao will enter the NBA as an unball pitcher. His first opponent has two top unball pitchers, Glenn Rice and Dell Curry. The check-in mission: shooting star triggers."

"Shot Star: Special signing player Zhang Hao triggers every time he fights with a top pitcher, winning the respect of top pitchers.

The trigger object this time: Dell Curry.

Target: Zhang Hao scored higher than Dell Curry in this game.

Reward: Top pitcher Dell Curry's favorability for Zhang Hao has been greatly improved.

Note: The host can guide special signing player Zhang Hao to have a good relationship with major top NBA pitchers and keep warm."

Finally! The task of extending life is here! Zhang Hao is very excited! Extra life increase!

With the memory of the future, he is very happy to be able to live so freely for so long, but this is just the initial idea. After living for a long time, he naturally becomes more greedy and wants to continue to live and have the opportunity to continue to live, so he naturally has to fight for it.

However, Zhang Hao felt that this task was very difficult! They really may not win 4 preseason games.

"Fortunately this is just a preseason, so the opponent shouldn't pay much attention to it."

Zhang Hao looked at another task and found that there was no substantial reward, which was to win the opponent's favor... Zhang Hao thought of the status of pitchers these days.

The pitcher's status is indeed low!

The coach should attach great importance to off-ball pitchers, but in the minds of players, the players who hold the ball and thrust hard at the low post and forcefully eat at the basket are the real stars. Only when these people have the ability to shoot will they be considered strong by other players.

Stars who use shooting as the main scoring method and other scoring methods are always inferior. Even Garnett and Nowitzki, who were so awesome later, have always been named as iron-blooded mid-range shots, and the latter would have always been named as a soft-blooded season if they were not for the 2011 Super Gods season.

After retiring, Reggie Miller also said why he made enemies everywhere in his player age, because he wanted a sense of presence. Back then, the presence of off-ball pitchers was too low. If he hadn't been proactive in provoking those who were on the table with other stars, he would have noticed how excellent he was like other pitchers of his time.

It was not until the small ball era that the pitcher was truly recognized by the players and fans.

In this situation, Zhang Hao thought that he was a player who was purely absent-ball player and became a power forward, which was really sad...

The game continued, Zhang Hao came to the sidelines and received the ball sent by the referee to Kenny Anderson.

The Hornets made large-scale personnel adjustments, with veteran point guard Michael Adams, top pitcher Dell Curry, veteran forward Raphael Edison, aunt Johnson and Chief Parish playing.

Kenny Anderson received the ball at the center line and advanced quickly. Zhang Hao quickly followed and cut into the inside first.

Zhang Hao ran into the inside and was close to the opponent Larry Johnson. This guy was so strong that he was 199 cm tall and weighed 113 kilograms. Although he played as a power forward, he was not afraid of anyone in the confrontation. The Larry Johnson evaluation of the power that Zhang Hao saw before was 96! Super top-level power!

Therefore, Zhang Hao decisively chose to leave the inside line and slipped around the bottom line and ran out from the right side of the three-second zone.

When Zhang Hao ran out, Vaughan Fleming made a quick decision and cut into the basket. As Vaughan Fleming expected, Larry Johnson immediately gave up chasing Zhang Hao and retracted his foot to stay at the basket, because Parish had left the basket with PJ Brown. Larry Johnson's fear of Vaughan Fleming, an old opponent, was much greater than that of Zhang Hao, a thin rookie.

Kenny Anderson made the ball as soon as possible, and Zhang Hao came to the free throw line on the right side of the three-second zone, and it was empty!

Without hesitation after receiving the ball, Zhang Hao made a mid-range jump shot...

Seeing the ball plunged into the basket, Zhang Hao was a little unbelievable, just running out of the open position so simply?

He did nothing, just cut in according to tactics when PJ Brown went to pick-and-roll to find opportunities to hit the basket or just slipped through the bottom line and shot opportunities came...

When Zhang Hao ran back, he quickly analyzed the situation just now and found something... Before he got on the court, Kenny Anderson said to him: "Don't worry, you will definitely have many opportunities to adapt to the game."

The Hornets' defense is actually not bad, not only not bad, but it should be very good. Vaughan Fleming cut in just now, and Larry Johnson is fine to make up for it, but Edison should be able to switch to him, but Edison still received the inside with Vaughan Fleming, which seemed to be on guard against PJ Brown and cut in after pick-and-roll.

He was despised by the other party... It was not right that he was ignored!
