Chapter 85: The Great Ups and Downs
The Lakers ended their winning streak in Salt Lake City and are set to face the SuperSonics again on the road. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In just two days, of course, Zhang Fu will not improve much, and even this game does not even have the feeling of the first time against the superSonics, and the Seattlemen who are fighting at home have only one goal - revenge and save face!
Payton played like a superstar today, single-handedly messing up the Lakers' defense, scoring 36 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists.
Such stats are not typical of Peyton's style, but the anger in his heart can be seen.
The first game was overturned by the Lakers, and after the game, he was ridiculed by Zhang Fu for a while, and during this time, Payton became a laughing stock in the superstar circle, and whoever saw him had to use this game to disgust this guy who usually has a smelly and dirty mouth.
Payton won the game today, but still couldn't get the upper hand on the lips, and this time he lost again.
At the post-game press conference, Payton showed a somewhat ugly face after the win, and he chose to use all methods to sarcastically and sarcastically show Zhang Mao, but this behavior was undignified.
On the other side, Zhang Mao scored 15 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, which was not bad, and he used the opposite way to make himself more decent after the game.
Zhang praised the performance of the superSonics after the game, including Payton, who was taunting him next door.
This comparison is very interesting, and it makes the conduct of the two people judged.
An 18-year-old high school student knows how to praise his opponent after a game and congratulate him. Payton, a 27-year-old mature player, can't even catch up with a high school student in terms of heart and quality, which obviously makes him a disgraced party in post-game public opinion.
"I have always believed that winning is chic, and losing is also open." Zhang Qi began to pretend to be 13 again, of course he was complaining in his heart, but he said with a very sincere look on his face: "Today we are not as good as others, the supersonic team played better than us, and they deserve a victory." ”
He then commented on Payton's performance: "Payton's play was incredible, and today he made me change my impression of him in the first game, and he really deserves to be a superstar. I'm a lot worse than that, I was out of the game that day, and I need to keep trying to catch up with them. ”
The contrast between the two post-game speeches was clear, Payton blindly sarcastically ridiculed Zhang Mao's performance as a loss of identity, and even Seattle fans felt that their core was too small after the game.
After this game, the Lakers can finally return to Los Angeles.
But they were greeted by back-to-back games, and the next day they were challenged by the Warriors at home, and the harsh schedule was full of malice towards the Lakers.
Zhang Yu doesn't dare to boast about his physical strength now, the continuous back-to-back games have made him see the horror of the NBA schedule, and he also loses his physical talent, and a normal high school player can't hold on to such a terrifying schedule at all.
After the first five games, the Lakers' record is not bad, due to the serious regression of the Suns in the same division this season, there is no real strong team in the entire Pacific Division, and the Lakers are in third place in the West thanks to the current ranking rules.
1. Seattle SuperSonics (4-1).
2. San Antonio Spurs (3-1).
3. Los Angeles Lakers (3-2).
4. Utah Jazz (4-1).
5. Houston Rockets (3-2).
6. Portland Trail Blazers (2-2).
7. Phoenix Suns (2-2).
8. Sacramento Kings (2-3).
Zhang Fu also only understood the ranking rules of the NBA, and the first place in each division could automatically enter the top three in the eastern and western divisions. So the Jazz have a better record, but they can only settle for fourth, unless they can surpass the SuperSonics in the same division, then they will be in first place, and the SuperSonics will suddenly become fourth.
"It's not the first, it's the fourth, this rule sucks!"
Zhang Wei thought about it carefully and found that the position of his team was not safe, because their record was not good, and they might be overtaken by the Suns next.
That is to say, if they can't maintain the first place in the division, then they may fall to seventh place in an instant, or even fall out of the top eight, just like the Suns, which is too big.
If the Lakers lose again, it is very likely that they will fall from the top three to the point where they can't even play in the playoffs.
At this time, Zhang Yu looked at this rule, which he thought was unscientific, and suddenly felt a little reasonable.
If they can maintain the first place in the Pacific Division, they can enter the playoffs as third no matter how bad their record is, and even get home advantage in the first round of the playoffs, which is a big advantage.
On the day of the Lakers-Warriors game, ICQ's 1,000,000th registered user was born.
As the creator of the instant messaging software field, Dragonborn has to say that it has achieved a brilliant achievement. Today, "I·SEEK· "YOU" has become a global buzzword, especially among young people, and has already taken the world by storm.
As soon as ICQ was launched in September, it received a global response and quickly gained a large number of users around the world with its unprecedented creativity.
Major technology media in the United States have also given five-star praise to ICQ, and all industry insiders believe that ICQ is an epoch-making PC software.
At present, ICQ has a market share of 100% in Europe and the United States, and even in Asia, where the Internet is not very developed, the number of users in the market also accounts for 100%, because there is no similar software on the market to compete with it.
This kind of instant messaging software is not difficult for many technology companies to do, but it is difficult to deal with patents, ICQ has already registered a number of patents around the world, and it will take some time to bypass these barriers.
Microsoft wanted to buy the ownership of ICQ for $80 million at the end of October, but Zhang Mo refused without hesitation.
Speaking of which, Zhang Mo, who was born in 1950, is still a senior of Bill Gates, not only from Harvard University, but also students in the same department, and now they are both software engineers, and they both founded technology companies engaged in the field of computer software.
Now the only difference between the two is that "Microsoft" has become a Fortune 500 company and a leader in the IT industry.
Zhang Mo's "Dragonborn" company has just gained some fame in the industry with ICQ, and it is only a potential new company for the time being.
Microsoft also has an MSN software now, but MSN at this time is not on par with Instant messaging software, so ICQ is in a monopoly position at this stage, and there is only one option on the market.
Zhang Mo is not worried that someone will imitate a software similar to ICQ to compete with him, even if Microsoft launches such a similar software in the next few months, it will not pose any threat to the Dragonborn.
Because Instant messaging software pays the most attention to "user stickiness", as long as you can always maintain the first-mover advantage, do a good job in user experience, update the version diligently, and often add some fresh and practical functions, then it is impossible for latecomers to pose a threat to him.
ICQ has only been around for just over two months and has 1 million users.
In the next three months, ICQ will have more than two million registered users, a scale that will make competitors look awkward.
At that time, new users would definitely choose ICQ when choosing InstantMesson software, rather than choosing a new and unpopular software from a major company.
Moreover, at this time, ICQ must have added a lot of new features, and the same type of software that has just been imitated is still similar to the original ICQ, so no one will choose the backward and unpopular new software.
It can be said that as long as the Dragonborn company does not make major decision-making mistakes and does not give latecomers a chance to catch up, then no one will be able to threaten ICQ's monopoly position, including giants like Microsoft, which is the first-mover advantage!
Tonight, many employees of the Dragonborn Company came to the scene to watch the game, and Zhang Wei asked the team for forty tickets in one go.
Dragonborn has nearly 40 employees, nearly double the number three months ago.
Zhang Mo has already foreseen the potential of ICQ software, and the expansion of the company's scale has also accelerated the schedule, although this will make the company's capital unable to sustain for a year, and it is a big deal to seek venture capital at that time.
When there is really no money to develop, that can only be the case.
Now his goal is to maximize the value of the company, and if Resident Evil can bring enough working capital to the company, it will be the best, otherwise it will make the venture capital less shared.
Zhang's goal tonight is to try to help his team win, and it would be frustrating for him to have a three-game losing streak immediately after three consecutive wins.
In these games, his stats are not so good, and he is a little far from the 25+6+6 in the main quest.
Zhang Fu's average data per game has dropped to 21 points, 9.4 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.8 steals, rebounding is a statistic he doesn't need to worry about for the time being, and the number of assists is also above the safety line
He did a really good job in these two statistics, but he has been a little worse in scoring, and a game with more than 10 points can make up for it with a game of more than 30 points.
If you want to complete the main quest, you must reduce the number of matches with less than 20+ points as much as possible.
Tonight is against his old rivals, the Warriors, and Zhang feels that this is a good opportunity for him to brush up on points.
Mullin is a former superstar who is far easier to bully than Schramf, and he used him to build his confidence last time around, and today is a good opportunity to use him to stop the losing streak.
But after thousands of calculations, Zhang Qi didn't count that his teammates were playing like today.
Van Exel's 3-of-13 shooting performance today, Hardaway delivered 20 points and 13 assists, and Mullin also scored 22 points with a very targeted move.
Zhang Zhu originally looked down on Mu Lin, but he forgot about such things as off-ball cover and strategy.
Mu Lin suffered a big loss on him last time, and this time he naturally won't fight him hard, today's shots are all running shots under the cover of teammates, and the hand feels very hot, all kinds of Qin Wang around the pillar make Zhang Mao's footstep advantage unable to play, and it also seriously consumes his physical strength.
The final score was 123:108, and the Lakers could still form a stalemate with the Warriors in the first three quarters, but they couldn't hold on in the last quarter.
Zhang Qi only scored 20 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in the game, and the assists and rebounds still completed the task, but they still did not meet the 25-point requirement in scoring.
The only thing that gave him some comfort today was that Mullin didn't know if he had adjusted his stat and his stat value had risen to 80.
It is this attribute advantage, as well as the position of the starting small forward, that Zhang Mao's task of abusing vegetables did not fail, otherwise he would really lose to his grandmother's house.
