Chapter 155: One End, One Beginning
EĜ HvNڕ o { f L. Y % P 1c #u ǥ Q jU/ fҶ I feel like I'm weak, I'm not invincible, just like today, I lost! ”
Zhang Mao's words are all pretending to be more forced, with a team record of 69 wins, and 32 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists tonight, he is embarrassed to say that he is weak?
"I say I'm awesome, you will say I'm domineering, then I'll say I'm weak, but you're still not satisfied, and you'll say I'm pretending to be tough."
Zhang Zhu originally wanted to say this, but in the end, he was worried that he would not be able to control it now, so he would talk about it after winning the championship.
This proves that he is very self-aware, knowing that without the championship in hand, he can't do what he wants after all, and the highest realm can not only be achieved by good talent, but also have the honor of being able to hold the field, and he will continue to work hard in this regard.
'Jermaine is still far from it, but he's improving fast, but don't praise him, he needs to keep improving at this rate because we're a championship team and he can be fast, but he can't be slow, otherwise he's going to get off.'
Zhang Wei can still control this kind of force, because part of his words are facts.
O'Neal Jr. was not angry when he heard this, Zhang Mao was not only qualified to say so, but his words could also prevent O'Neal Jr. from being complacent, because as he said, O'Neal Jr.'s progress rate can only be said to be good in the Lakers, but once it slows down, it really can't keep up.
"The Jazz played well and I was impressed with the defense in the first half, but the next time we meet, they'd better put in a better performance or I'll destroy everything, including the parking lot."
Zhang mentioned the Jazz with a high rating of their defense, but what does it mean to destroy the parking lot? Does this mean anything special?
The reporters were blinded again, and many of Zhang Fu's words were too profound, and it was difficult for them to understand the meaning inside, so every time they took a small notebook and wrote it down, and went back to study it slowly.
It's only been less than two years, and "Dragonborn Quotations" is almost a finger thick, and the book will almost be published in two years.
Zhang Wei felt that the matter of publishing the book could be put aside, the tenth weekly best was the thing he was most worried about, seeing that there were only five games left in the regular season, he had to get the tenth weekly best, otherwise the consequences would be serious.
The alliance doesn't care about anything, he got it 9 times anyway, so he doesn't care about letting Zhang Fu make up a whole number.
David Stern is still cunning, he has planned to divide the weekly and monthly best into east and west for two years, so that Zhang Wei won ten weekly best results in a season, and it may not be so magical in the future. In the same way, Zhang Fu's three-point contest record may not be able to be broken now, but the future three-point contest can be changed to a 35-point system, or even a 40-point system, and Zhang Fu's perfect score record is not impossible to break at that time.
"ICQ and Dragonborn Games are about to split up!"
"Dragonborn may use an independent listing to spin off its business."
"ICQ is valued at $40 billion, and the Lee family is about to enter the ranks of the world's top 100 richest people."
"The new Dragonborn game, Dinosaur Crisis, will be released on April 15th."
This is some of the news that Zhang Zhu can see when he picked up the newspaper recently, ICQ and Dragonborn Games have already completed the first phase of incubation, and are currently the strategic business system of Dragonborn Company, but to support the development of ICQ, Dragonborn Games, Dragonborn Portal and other businesses, these core systems are best separated, in addition to absorbing huge amounts of cash for development, but also to make the company's operations more efficient.
Zhang Zhu will also know an inside information, in a few days the Dragonborn company will have a big move, they will release the "Dragonborn Online Search Engine", referred to as "Dragonborn Search".
According to him, this is a service that can help users gather information from the Internet, and will be the fourth core business of the Dragonborn company in the future, and eighty percent will also be spun off.
"How do I feel like I'm going to be the richest man in the world?"
Zhang Yu said that he has 30% of the shares of the dragon company, his father only has 45% of the company's shares now, and the remaining 25% is in the hands of the adulterer, but it will definitely be his in the future.
On April 11, the Lakers return home to play the Suns, which should be their best chance to race to 70 wins.
However, Zhang felt a little uncomfortable in her ass before the game.
This is very strange, it was not me who was scared yesterday, why do you feel like this?
Xiao Baizhi can sit in the private room and watch the game safely, is the structure between men and women so different?
Two and a half hours later......
"Do you know what I'm going to be an MVP?"
Zhang Mao was still exercising his lower game after the game, he did not sit on the bench to answer questions, and there was a finger distance between the two, which is what makes the master different.
The reporters in the audience didn't know that he wasn't sitting in a chair, but even if they did, they wouldn't have thought that he was uncomfortable in the back.
Just kidding, how could a person who had a problem with Chrysanthemum cut 26 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists?
This is Zhang's second triple-double this week and his 16th triple-double this season, just one short of the Lakers' all-time record.
What's more, he helped the Lakers break through the best record in history with this victory and another triple-double! The Purple and Gold managed to get their 70th win in this battle, which should be the answer to the question, and the MVP has long been out of suspense, and this year's MVP was given to him in advance in the first round of the playoffs.
"It's delicious!"
Zhang took a sip of bottled coffee full of flavors, sugar, and N additives.
Of course, this is the Minotaur brand, but he will not touch such a thing except in advertisements or on such promotional occasions. Don't look at this small bottle is less than 300 milliliters, but you can extract at least 60 grams of powdered sugar from it and make it into a large lollipop, which is how the fat people in the United States should come to be.
"With four games left, I'm not going to think about breaking the Bulls' record, and we can guess if the Lakers can get 72 wins? 73 wins? Or 74 wins? ”
Zhang Fu's words are not too pretentious, because everyone knows that this is the truth, and telling the truth can only be regarded as high-profile, not invisible.
Beat the Suns at home, it's a well-deserved result.
And two days later, the Lakers will fight the Jazz again, this time they are at home, and Zhang is not going to lose again......
"How about it, with such a cover, can you break through?"
"It's better to pull a little bit out, you don't need to block it completely, just let him take one more step and I can push him away."
"Two people cover together, and the success rate is greater."
"The weaker players also have to move, you can't make the opponent settle down if you don't move."
“…………”
The Lakers made more detailed preparations before the game this time, such as how should the players in charge of covering move and block people when Zhang Mao holds the ball? How should the wingers work together? At what point is the inside line going to be pulled out? How do you move after blocking someone? What should I do if I block it or not?
There are too many problems to practice here, and after the last loss, the Lakers found that they really have to do their homework against the Jazz, even if it is not as large as the opponent's training, at least they can't fall too far behind, otherwise they can't play.
"I can't go out too far, I need to protect the rebound."
Mutombo has his own ideas, and he thinks Zhang has asked for too much off-ball coverage.
"If I feel good, you'll have to come out."
Zhang Qi means that everything must be centered on me, and if I can score, I have to serve all of them.
"I can go and grab rebounds."
Kidd said that his participation in the rebounding competition can enhance the quality of rebounding and the strength of the interior rebound.
"Yes, at least as early as punctuality, we should fight for rebounds."
Zhang Yu agreed with Kidd's opinion to protect the defensive rebounds this time, because he had completed the task of [dominant] ahead of schedule, and the data was already a secondary thing for him, and after getting the average of 34+8+7 per game, he was no longer interested in this kind of all-round performance.
In the last few regular season games and playoffs, he will no longer suppress Kidd's rebounding and organizational ability in order to brush up on statistics, if this kid can play his rebounding ability, the Lakers will be equivalent to having four inside lines to grab rebounds, Rodman still dares to say loudly that he is the "rebounding king" when he meets the Lakers?
Well, maybe he really dared!
Zhang Wei admitted that he couldn't grab Rodman, even if he was heads-up, he would definitely not be able to grab Rodman in the official game.
But after unblocking Kidd, the Lakers are almost invincible in rebounding, and if they really want to meet the Bulls, Rodman can help the Bulls not fall too far behind in rebounding, and he can't fight so many masters no matter how good he is.
"Anthony, you should get the ball more!"
Zhang Fu's subsequent words made Mason on the side so angry that he wanted to scold his mother, didn't he want to take more balls? The point is that no one gave him the ball!
"Don't worry, I'll feed you the ball."
Zhang Fu's next sentence immediately calmed down Mason, but it didn't feel real, Zhang Qi has always liked to dominate the ball, why did he suddenly seem to be a different person?
Well, of course, it's one time and another.
Now Zhang Mao is not bound by tasks, and the championship is the only thing he cares about, so the cancer style of play in the regular season must be abandoned and everyone's strengths must be brought into play as much as possible, which is actually more beneficial to him.
"I want you to help me cover off the ball, not only to let me score, but even if the quality of the screen is average, at least they don't dare to take it lightly, so that you will have more chances." Of course, Zhang Zhu's words are hard to believe, and the Lakers players think that they can just listen to it, but Zhang Zhu's words are really surprising, "In the next regular season and playoffs, I am ready to give up at least half of the ball, and in the future, Jason you will hold the ball, unless I raise my hand, otherwise you will organize according to your own ideas." ”
Zhang Qi is really different today, this is so selfless, even Kidd can't react, thinking that his boss is possessed by a demon? Wrong! This is supposed to be possessed by an angel.
"Boss, why are you ......?"
Zhang Wei shook his hand, stopped Kidd's inquiry, and explained, "I know you have doubts, I was too concerned about data before, this is my problem. Now I understand what it means to be a team, and we can only be invincible if everyone does what they do best. ”
The Lakers players have no opinion now, even if Zhang Zhu asks Mutombo and Mason to cover a lot, they can't have any more opinions, because Zhang Zhu himself is ready to give up the ball, what excuse do they have for not to help?
"If we fight like this, will we not be skilled enough?"
Kidd still feels that there is a problem, they have adapted to Zhang Mao's style of playing with a lot of basketball, and now that he suddenly cedes the ball, the team will definitely not be used to it.
"That's why we're fighting for rebounds in the frontcourt. There will definitely be a little discomfort, but the opponent will also be uncomfortable, and besides, we have played together for a season, and the tacit understanding is not low, even if there is a problem, and my strong attack, you will not have no confidence in me, right? ”
Zhang Qi dared to play like this, of course, because he saw from the system that the team's chemistry reached 90, although it was a little worse than the Jazz's 97 and the Bulls' 96, but it was already a team with a very tacit cooperation.
Besides, the Lakers are playing with talent now, and the tacit understanding is slightly lacking, which is really not a problem, as long as it can release everyone's combat effectiveness, it will be more profitable no matter how it is calculated.
It's not that Zhang Wei doesn't know the abilities of his teammates, but he can only pretend to be confused for the sake of the task.
Kidd, Finley and Mason only played six or seven percent of their skills in the regular season, and only Mutombo, who specializes in defense, and Starks, the sixth man, were not suppressed by him, and now he can't suppress these people if he wants to win the championship, and the playoffs are really different from the regular season.
On April 14, the Lakers continued to play against the Jazz at home, and whether they can tie the Bulls' 71-win record early depends on this battle.
"They don't even think about it, we could beat them five days ago, it won't make a difference five days later, even if the Lakers can get 71 wins, they won't get it on us."
Malone said: I can beat the Lakers once, and I can do it again.
Zhang Qi didn't say anything before the game, I don't know if it was a little hot, and there were two small bubbles in his mouth.
"It's strange, I didn't eat cucumbers yesterday, did I? Why is Sister Xiaolin nothing wrong? And they actually went to eat Sichuan food at night, is there such a big difference between men and women even in this part? ”
Zhang Wei said that he was very angry today, and he had to vent at the Jazz players for a while.
Five days ago, the Lakers had just lost to the Jazz on the road, and the Jazz had relied on excellent team execution to take them out in that game.
Today, Jazz still intends to do this, but the unique work in his hand is obviously not taken out, and Zhang Mao's bag is far less comprehensive than the last game, and even the formation is slightly loose, what else can this be?
"Is this looking down on us?"
The Lakers players can also feel that the Jazz did not go all out after coming to Los Angeles, no matter how hard they said before the game, but when it came to the game, they instantly softened a lot.
The Jazz have no intention of desperately trying to stop the Lakers from breaking the record, and it is not their record that is broken anyway, and they can't find fault with the last game when they played like that, so they can't let them fight to the death with the Lakers when the playoffs are about to begin, right?
Bulls fans definitely want the Jazz to do this, but no one will, even if the Jazz can win another game against the Lakers, the Lakers will kill the Kings and Trail Blazers behind them like beating the Suns, the record of 71 wins is simply broken, and the tail guarded by the Clippers is meaningless.
Neutral fans felt after the first quarter that even if the Jazz went all out today, it might not be useful, because Kidd handed out 4 assists in the first quarter, and also made two three-pointers, contributing 8 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists in a single quarter.
Well, in the second quarter, Kidd quickly made 0-of-4 shots to dispel this idea.
This guy seems to be the right decision to shoot less, three of these four shots are big vacancies, even Lakers fans feel that such an unstable play is indeed a bit of a pit, Xiao Zhengtai still focuses on organization and defense, his stable play in these two aspects is terrible.
Mason also got more possession today, but he is also a player who does not use offense as the first choice, and if Zhang Mao doesn't want to get so many assists, he can play the ball to these two people, so that his shots will increase.
Zhang Qi got 18 shots in the first half, most of which were made by these two people, although these shots were not too good because of the lack of cooperation, but Zhang Qi is very good at converting this general pass into a good scoring efficiency.
Mason's play in the first half was good, and it is estimated that he had too little ball in the whole season, and he couldn't find the feeling of passing the ball for a while, and made too many mistakes.
However, Zhang was efficient enough on 9-of-18 shooting to inflict mass damage on the Jazz, and with free throws, he scored 26 points in the half, along with three rebounds and three assists, and his rebounds and assists were not small.
Mutombo said: I have an opinion.
Zhang Mao's rebounding is okay, but he's only 4 rebounds as a big center, which is too much, right? Especially on the premise that Kidd grabbed 7 rebounds in the half, Uncle Mu felt that he had to compete for rebounds with 3 unknown centers every time he jumped, and he had never seen such a cheating game.
The Jazz did not lose today on Zhang Zhu's offense, and Kidd and Mason's passes could not kill anyone, but the Lakers' rebounding made the Jazz really injured, especially in the third quarter, the Lakers grabbed 8 frontcourt rebounds in a single quarter, and grabbed a total of 13 frontcourt rebounds in the second half, this number is enough to kill any team, even if the Jazz shot 50% of the three-point shooting rate, but it could not recover the loss of rebounding.
The Lakers grabbed a total of 21 frontcourt rebounds in the whole game, and the Jazz's number was 7, a full three-fold difference, even if the math trickster calculated, there is no suspense about the outcome of the game.
The final score was 106:101, the Jazz lost decently, so many frontcourt rebounds only won by 5 points, the Lakers want to laugh and are embarrassed, they must have their own problems.
"We had a bit of a lot of turnovers, double the Jazz, which made our rebounding advantage a big bit and we had to fix that."
Harris pointed out the problem of too many mistakes in the team after the game, and it was not his intention to let Zhang Qi play without the ball at this time, he didn't think it was necessary. If it had to change, it would have been next season, and now it's almost the playoffs, so it's not smart to make such a change rashly.
Zhang Qian felt that it was very necessary, he didn't want people to block him layer by layer, and he would definitely have this kind of problem if he held the ball too much, which was a big hidden danger!
Under this kind of defense, it is difficult for him to exert his full power, and once he encounters a team with a really strong defense, the Lakers will be killed if he can't do it.
The Jazz have proven that they have a way to limit their offense with the ball, so who knows if teams like the SuperSonics, Rockets, and Bulls can't?
Anyway, they must have the strength to do so.
Of course, Zhang Zhu doesn't think that such a defense can really limit him, but if he can't play his full strength, the Lakers will rely too much on his style of play will affect the overall combat strength, and his excessive ball holding will also make it difficult for his teammates to play their strength, not to mention seven games with the Bulls, I am afraid it will be difficult to break through from the West.
"The sword lies in hiding", it is not a good thing that he is too sharp Bilou, if he can hide himself, others will not only not be able to target him, but also don't know how to prevent him, isn't it beautiful?
This is a question that Zhang Qi only figured out after completing the task, Jordan did it last year, but those tasks limited his growth rate, he should have understood this truth a long time ago, but he couldn't understand it, but now he can understand it......
The Los Angeles Times reported the next day -
"The Lakers are on the road to creating a new record for the number of regular season wins, and it is estimated that many people think that the Bulls' 71 wins cannot be surpassed, but the Lakers are now hitting the first place in history, they have tied the record, and now a great is ending, a great is beginning, we should be glad that we have witnessed history, this is the change of dynasties, and a new era is coming."
