Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 193 Another Big Four

This record makes Zhao Hao worried.

Regardless of the fact that the Lakers are now ranked fifth in the Western Conference, their record is only 23 wins and 16 losses.

The Kings, ranked eighth in the West, are 21 wins and 18 losses, with only two wins in the middle.

In other words, as long as the Lakers lose two more games, the Kings only need to win one game.

Then the Lakers will fall out of the playoff roster.

It's dangerous. It's so urgent.

Zhao Hao finally understood why the Lakers in his previous life couldn't make it to the playoffs this season.

It's not that I don't want to, it's really not easy.

"That can't be done. I can't fall out of the playoff roster even if I die. I urgently need to improve my strength now."

Zhao Hao, who had made up his mind, gritted his teeth and could only continue desperately.

After all, securing a place in the playoffs can get a worn-out card draw.

That's a good thing that can extract the potion of toughness!
If you can draw out 10 bottles and 8 bottles, isn't your strength going to heaven?
Of course, the premise is to persist until Kobe comes back.

At that time, the team's hard-to-defend Death Five will return again, and everything can be back on track.

In January, the Lakers still have three games to play, namely the city rivals Clippers, Nets and Bobcats.

Clippers, this game is trying to beat the Lakers to death.

No way, the Clippers, who have always wanted to suppress the Lakers, could not take advantage of Kobe's absence.

However, this time they also failed to please.

Tang Shuai still arranged to start the Princeton system headed by Divac, which completely killed the Clippers' lineup.

The inside center Kaman was completely pulled out of the three-point line by Divac, and the only remaining defender of the penalty area, Elton Brand, was only 203cm tall
This can have a fart guard frame.

In addition, the chubby Brand is slower than Kaman, so he can't keep up with the Princeton system of the Lakers.

In the end, the head coach of the Clippers, Mike Dunleavy, could only make a decision, choosing between the fish and the bear's paw.

Block the space for the Lakers to cut inside, prevent death from more efficient inside shots, and completely let go of the Lakers' outside shooters.

This is betting on the feel of the Lakers!
Zhao Hao also understands the thoughts of these head coaches in this era.

After all, before the Warriors won the championship, no one believed that a three-pointer could kill the game.

For example, Reggie Miller, who has been criticized all the time.

But Zhao Hao just wanted to prove that three-pointers can really kill games and people.

Miller was just born in the wrong age. If you put him after 2010, you can see how awesome a guy like him can hold the ball, make three-pointers and defend.

Therefore, Zhao Hao threw 19 three-pointers in this game!
Well, it's a salute to the masters of the three-point shooting of the future.

This is also Zhao Hao's most shot since he played in the NBA!
And he hit 8 of them, scoring 28 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

This score. After the game, Zhao Hao himself couldn't believe it!
Sure enough, why do rookies like to start in the underdogs of the league? Look at Howard of the Magic and Okafor of the Bobcats.

In the whole game, the Lakers also threw 36 three-pointers and hit 14 of them.

Directly beat the Clippers to surrender early.

Post-match interview.

"Zhao Hao, this is the highest score you have achieved in your career, and you have also broken your own number of three-pointers made in a single game. Now you are still No.1 in the list of three-pointers."

Hearing this, Zhao Hao remembered that his three-pointers this season were still the one who shot the most rogue toothbrushes.

An average of 9 throws per game, in this era, not many people believe it at all.

Of course, there is still a gap compared with the three-point mania of later generations. Primary school students like Curry have to throw 12 per game on average!
It's just that as the regular season progressed, Zhao Hao's three-point shooting percentage dropped a bit, and now he only hits 39%.

"It's still below the 40% mark."

Zhao Hao couldn't help but sighed.

Sure enough, his three-point shooting ability is still far behind that of shooting experts like Curry and Thompson.

The two Splash Brothers not only shot more shots, but also kept their shooting percentage at around 44%.

"To score so many three-pointers, of course my teammates gave me a lot of wonderful passes.

However, No.1 in the three-pointer list is not that important to me, I just want to help the team win. "

Zhao Hao replied to the reporter.

Enlightenment!Absolutely moved the Lakers up and down.

No, Tang Shuai beside him was tearful.

Odom, who also participated in the post-match interview, secretly squeezed Zhao Hao's leg, "My brother, well said, I will pass the ball to you in the next game."

crisp~
What's the matter, Odom's stupid leg pinching movement is definitely practiced often.

Of course, Zhao Hao really wants to be honest, I really don't care about No.1 in this list of three-pointers.

After all, this thing does not award awards, so it is not as real as the champion of the All-Star Three-Point Shootout Contest.

After the interview, the Lakers continued to go to New Jersey non-stop, ready to challenge the Nets.

Before the game, Tang Shuai deliberately pulled all the players together and began to give orders.

"The Nets have Jason Kidd, one of the best passing playmakers in NBA history, and Richard Jefferson, a player who can give a strong performance on both ends of the floor.

This season, they traded Vince Carter, one of the four major points, from the Raptors, so they are extremely powerful. We need to take advantage before the game starts! "

Zhao Hao had a different view on Tang Shuai's words.

Kidd and Carter's abilities are indeed powerful, and Jefferson can indeed provide a lot of help to the team during this period.

But the Nets' problem is still there, and it's big.

That's an inside question!
The team's starting center Jason Collins averaged 33 minutes per game this season, averaging 6 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist per game.

With this playing time, it would be more than this statistic for a meme to play.

meme: fuck

Therefore, the problem for the Nets is still in the interior.

And they don't know the Lakers' five small style of play, they are still in the traditional offensive position, playing with a rhythm.

Kidd can sort out the team's offense very well, but the crux of the problem is that the team's offensive end points are only two people, Carter and Jefferson.

And the rest of the team who pass the ball are doomed to be blind!
Therefore, this season is also Kidd's season with the fewest assists per game since his rookie game, with only 8 assists.

This statistic is even lower than his career average.

Therefore, the Lakers only need to prevent Carter's scoring in this game.

coming!

"Zhao Hao, the team doesn't intend to double-team Carter in this game, because Kidd's pass is really too powerful, so you must restrict Carter tightly!"

Tang Shuai said solemnly.

Zhao Hao's mentality almost collapsed.

This is just straight-up nonsense.

After a few consecutive games of dead fuck, now let me defend the league's top four?
Zhao Hao really wanted to say, Tang Shuai, you have really changed, what is the difference between you and Tai Lunlu that dead ghost now.

"Tang Shuai, Zhao Hao's defensive awareness is good, but his defensive ability is not yet at the top of the league like Kobe. Isn't it too dangerous for him to defend Carter alone?"

After finishing the pre-match arrangement, Hamblen asked alone.
