Kendall Jill grabbed the ball, and there was not much time left. He directly shot a mid-range shot with one step. It was too hasty and did not make a shot. Zhang Hao, who had just finished the block, guarded the rebound, was not careless and waited carefully for Kenny Anderson to come up to receive it.

The Hornets quickly retreated. After Edison came to his senses, he immediately fought against Zhang Hao after passing the ball, not giving Zhang Hao a chance to get off the ball quickly.

The whole game was pressing and defending a pitcher without the ball. Edison's operation was indeed strange, but he didn't think there was any problem. The opponent's speed was faster than all of their insides, and even Kendal Gil, who only had the point guard position, was a little faster than Zhang Hao.

In addition to speed, there is also Zhang Hao's confrontation. Edison thought that his weight of 201 cm and 98 kilograms was not as good as Zhang Hao! He was more fierce when he rushed, but he was obviously stronger than Zhang Hao, who was thinner than him... It was simply!

Edison couldn't figure it out, and others couldn't figure it out either, but compared to Hornets players, they were shocked, while Nets players were even more excited because of Zhang Hao's blocking spirit!

Blocking is a way to boost morale without losing to dunks. Zhang Hao’s previous backup defense showed excellent awareness of assisting defense and physical conditions... Is that high school student in Minneapolis who was hyped up to heaven better than Zhang Hao? His teammates think it is impossible!

When he arrived at the frontcourt, Zhang Hao continued to focus on restraint, but this time, he found that the opponent's defense had changed. It seemed that his defense was not so tight, but that the shooting on the strong side and the cutting-in on the weak side were more tight.

Make a quick decision! Zhang Hao began to strengthen his running method of finding shot opportunities for himself.

The Nets' lineup is very fast. Although they did not play a fast break, Kenny Anderson immediately started a fast attack after pushing to the frontcourt and increasing the rhythm.

Zhang Hao seized the opportunity and ran backwards. Under Larry Johnson's pursuit and defense, he slipped through the bottom line and used the bottom line to cut into the bottom line and blocked Larry Johnson and came to the right bottom line.

Kenny Anderson also judged this opportunity and quickly passed the ball to Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao received the ball and made a mid-range shot from the bottom line... In!

As Zhang Hao analyzed, the opponent may make a defensive adjustment, and he predicted the opponent's prediction!

After this large-scale lineup adjustment, the Nets still played continuity on the offensive end!

Zhang Hao showed strong aggressiveness and keenly judged the opponent's defensive intentions on the court. In addition, he became more and more familiar with his teammates' running habits on the court, became more and more familiar with his own tactics, unconsciously found a better and more suitable moving route based on his own team tactics and practiced them without hesitation. His performance was very impressive.

His strong sense of self-adjustment on the field gave Kenny Anderson a huge help.

Either scoring, or passing the ball to Zhang Hao, or using his own and Zhang Hao's threat to pass the ball to others... Kenny Anderson played more and more freely!

When Hornets coach Bristol saw this scene, he knew there was nothing he could do. If a team like the Nets, which is mainly young players, really gives them morale and motivation, it will be difficult to suppress them.

But Bristol was not in a hurry. He tried his best to make adjustments, which did not mean that he was afraid of losing, and they had not lost yet. This game, he thought it was a very good game to enter the season rhythm, and he really wanted to thank his opponent.

Of course, it would be better if I could win, but if I was blinded, I can only expect the players on the court to suppress the Nets' strength by performing their performance.

The Nets' point guard has made Bristol very jealous. If they had a point guard like Kenny Anderson or Chiles, they would not have lost to the Bulls in the playoffs last year. It is good for everyone to play in the team, but sometimes the point guard who can sort out the offense alone is also very important. Boggs is such a point guard, but Boggs is too short and too easy to get injured.

...

After the half, the Hornets almost kept the score at 6 points with Larry Johnson and Glen Rice scoring 6 points in a row at the last moment.

58 to 52, the Nets led by 6 points and entered the midfield break.

With 10 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, Zhang Hao scored very beautiful data after 13 minutes.

During the halftime break, half of the players in the Nets locker room were excited and actively discussing how to play in the second half.

Why half?

Because they only had 9 players in the first half, and some of the other 11 players were training camp contract players, they had seen their chances, and some were ready to return to Rutherford Town after the away game. They were expected to face the situation of being eliminated.

Reality is cruel, but reality is indeed so cruel.

"Kenny, Chris, you will continue to organize the offense in the second half and be ready to play or be substituted at any time. We will rotate the ball core according to the situation on the court. You will stick to your own style of play on the court. If you need to change the rhythm, I will substitution in time.

Almon, you did a good job with singles…

Jason, PJ, you must keep your off-ball cuts, and the defensive end. We must give the opponent's inside offense as much as possible. Aix, you also need to help.

Aix, you do a good job of running without the ball. I don’t limit you to this, you follow your own ideas…”

When Randy Whitman ordered Zhang Hao, he found that there was really nothing to give. He was still a newcomer, and he had no experience and skills on the defensive end. He could only expect Zhang Hao not to hold back. Occasionally, he would make a profit if he had outstanding performance.

On the offensive end, this cannot be given. From the point of seizing the opportunity of a pitcher, Randy Whitman discovered that Zhang Hao, who had a headache about the past, "knows too much", was not a problem at all during the game!

During the game, Zhang Hao always found a good opportunity for their Nets' offensive tactics that were so ordinary that they could not be more ordinary.

Although it is only a preseason, you can see it from the perspective of the leopard.

Compared with ordinary pitchers, Zhang Hao may just choose to accelerate or stop and change direction at some point. Sometimes he accelerates and runs a few more steps. Sometimes the route is better, but once or twice is good luck. If the number of times is too many, or sometimes several rings are combined together, the difference between Zhang Hao and ordinary pitchers is revealed.

The real talent is to be able to enter the competition!

...

After returning from the break, Hornets coach Bristol saw the opponent sending Kenny Anderson, Edwards, Gilliam, Jason Williams, and PJ Brown, and he already understood the opponent's rotation arrangement.

I really just treat the preseason as a regular season!

Then in the regular season, will you fight like playing in the playoffs?

A team with a bottom fish can do anything, because there are many ways to retreat.

But he couldn't do it. At the beginning of the second half, the lineup he sent was obviously not as good as the Nets who sent the lineup.

After only more than 3 minutes of playing, several main players of the Hornets could not sit still. Gilliam and Kenny Anderson joined forces to score 8 points, leading the team to a 12-6, 70-58 wave, and the Nets expanded their lead to 12 points!

Bristol could only replace all the main players in advance, with Kendal Gill, Dell Curry, Glenn Rice, Larry Johnson, and Matt Geiger's strongest lineup on the court!

On the Nets, Randy Whitman also rotated, with Kenny Anderson, Graham, Gilliam, Zhang Hao, and PJ Brown's lineup on the court.

The situation on the court became chaotic, and the Hornets players began to fight! Because of carelessness, it is really possible that the Nets will be taken away by a wave of shocks.

This time, Hornets players really don't want to lose this preseason game.

It can be seen that the strength of the two teams is different. After the Hornets began to fight with all their strength, even if the Nets had such a big advantage before, their lead advantage began to be eroded by the opponent.

But the Nets are working hard to compete with the strong strength shown by the Hornets.

Kenny Anderson worked hard to organize the offense.

Zhang Hao tried his best to cooperate with Kenny Anderson to sort out the offense, actively searched for counterattack opportunities, and tried hard to analyze the situation when he fell into positional warfare. He made a choice between looking for personal opportunities and helping his teammates find scoring opportunities...

When the rhythm changes, that is, when Chiles comes on the court, Zhang Hao's tendency also changes, and he is more of helping Chiles connect positions to fight the offensive.

The Nets worked very hard to maintain the lead until the middle of the fourth quarter. During this period, Zhang Hao scored 7 mobile phones, made two mid-range shots, one cut into a dunk, and a counterattack layup, plus two free throws of 2 shots, and scored 10 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist in 18 minutes!

20 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks. Zhang Hao scored very beautiful data after 31 minutes, and made two mistakes, but next to such data, two mistakes are really not important.

Not only are the data good, but the fans watching the game on the spot felt Zhang Hao's super strong presence.

An unconventional power forward!

It is surprising that the player who is not the other players who are not playing without the ball won high scores without realizing it. Zhang Hao's playing style is very direct, just because he says "I want to shoot" on his face.

But you can find a shooting opportunity!

Zhang Hao's running ability is beyond the Hornets' understanding of players of his age. The most important thing is that Zhang Hao's mid-range shots are too accurate, and he can run and shoot. The Hornets have paid a lot of attention to Zhang Hao because of the last matchup, but now they find that they still do not pay enough attention!

In addition, Zhang Hao can also give out 3 assists in 31 minutes! What is most incredible is that they can hardly see Zhang Hao dribbling. The three assists were passed immediately after two seconds after getting the ball. The ability to pass the ball at high and low posts is very outstanding, or the awareness of passing the ball at high and low posts is extremely outstanding!

However, even though Zhang Hao performed so well, the Nets still couldn't stop the Hornets from chasing points.

They were even more upset when Zhang Hao performed so well!

At 9 minutes and 21 seconds in the last quarter, the Hornets made a three-pointer with Dell Curry in the corner and overtook the Nets by one point 106-105. The Nets called a timeout!

The fans watching the game on the spot even complained that the Hornets had just a preseason game. There was such an outstanding rookie on the other side. Do you have to be so serious?

Whether it is leading or falling behind, whether it is playing a beautiful offense or doing a bad job on the defensive end, Zhang Hao's emotions don't seem to have changed much, as if he immediately devoted himself to the next round after one round.

From the perspective of bystanders, Zhang Hao is so likable. The players who are so focused on the game and have talent. How can they not be likable when the fans have no tendencies?

Especially his not-so-sharp playing style has a strong presence, which makes it easier to attract the love of fans who watch the football with their own eyes, which are not visible in news reports.

However, if the Hornets players knew about the idea, they would definitely vomit blood.

But if fans on the scene have such ideas, others will not be surprised if they know about it. The Hornets are not very good in Charlotte's football market and are far less popular than North Carolina.

A player of college age like Zhang Hao is easily loved by local Charlotte fans.

Anyway, the fans at the scene have forgiven Zhang Hao for his arrogant look after dunking Edison. Except for that ball, Zhang Hao did not show his arrogance at other times. No matter how beautiful the goal is, there is no more. They regard the ball as an "accident".

As for what Edison thought, no one cared.

Even what Hornets players think, most people don’t care about it.

Local fans who have seen the news of Zhang Hao’s interview after the draft also complained about North Carolina. You give him a full basketball scholarship, and he is our player!

Although I don’t know what the fans on the scene are thinking, the Hornets players also felt the change in the support of the fans on the scene, and occasionally I could hear the exclamations when Zhang Hao made a good shot.

This made Hornets players extremely unhappy!

There are 2 minutes and 39 seconds left in the game, and they have already surpassed the score and are about to win!

Hornets players have never had such an experience as trying to win a preseason game, but now, they just want to win!

What Bristol wants is this mentality, this kind of emotion that really enters the new season. During the suspension period, he thinks very seriously about the opponent's subsequent offensive tactics and their Hornets' own offense at critical moments.

On the other hand, Randy Whitman was also seriously setting up tactics. At the last moment, he still put Zhang Hao on the court. It was not that he believed that Zhang Hao would perform well at the critical moment, but that there were no better players available.

Apart from Kenny Anderson, Gilliam and Chiles, the best player in the team is Zhang Hao, the rookie!

Taking into account the overlapping position and playing style and other conditions, the role Zhang Hao showed in the game is more important than Chiles.

Randy Whitman really didn't expect that Zhang Hao could be so outstanding!

But that's it. Zhang Hao has been constantly surpriseing them since the first day he came to the team.

However, if we can play well in the last few minutes, Randy Whitman has no confidence. If Coleman is there, he will just give the ball to Coleman to play singles at the last moment. Coleman is stronger than Larry Johnson on the opposite side.

But isn't this not the case, so let's arrange it as usual.

At the end of the timeout, Zhang Hao played together with Kenny Anderson, Gilliam, PJ Brown and Vaughan Fleming.

The Hornets sent Kendall Gill, Dell Curry, Glenn Rice, Burrell and Larry Johnson.
Chapter completed!
