Chapter 346: Infinity
"It's an entertainment game, so don't take it as a normal game, it's going to be boring," Zhang said after the game, "like I wasn't really focused on the MVP." ”
Regardless of O'Neal's mood when he heard this, Zhang Wei continued: "I want to thank the New York fans who support me, I just want to experience happiness here today, there are many wonderful stars here today, Michael, Shaq, Grant...... There are a lot of big stars coming here in the east and west, and the hustle and bustle makes you forget it's a game, everyone is playing with energy, working hard, defending, and it's a good show. ”
Zhang Mao has already won the MVP, and of course he is happy. But on the other side, Grant Hill, the starting small forward in the East, suddenly turned blue when he heard the reporter's request to evaluate Zhang Fu's performance, threw down the sentence "He is very good", and went away - it seems that Zhang Zhu's back play today made him very unhappy, and the gentleman is not not angry.
Don Nelson, the head coach of the East Army, was not shy about commenting on Zhang, the league's No. 1 who almost became his proud disciple: "Truth be told, if Lyon had no injuries, he would have been the MVP for at least the next ten years." ”
Of course, we can't forget our cute fat guy in the post-game interview.
O'Neal was still sullen after the game, and anyone could see his unwillingness, so this time there were a lot of reporters around the fat man, who wanted to hear O'Neal's big mouth and nonsense, and it would be best to hear him complain about someone, and everyone would be happy.
However, the fat man seems to have really grown up, and when asked if he is willing to belong to Zhang Fu in AMVP, he replied: "All-stars are like a movie, there must be a protagonist and a supporting role. But a supporting role does not mean that it will always be a supporting role, as long as there is a wonderful play, the next play may become the protagonist. I've seen a lot of movies and there are many examples of that, and I'm the supporting character who wants to be the lead actor now. ”
These words are very decent, but when it comes to talking about sassy words, Zhang Mao's skills are still too deep.
These reporters, who like to do things, relayed O'Neill's words to Zhang Wei as soon as they turned their heads.
Zhang Qian heard the provocation before the award, and saw the baby smile and said: "I told him in the middle of the game that when you learn to sleep, you learn to die, and when you learn not to get used to it, you also learn to get used to it." Zhang Zhu didn't finish this sentence, because there are too many ways to match the next sentence, such as "When you understand failure, you also learn to succeed".
Soon, Zhang Fu, who finished loading 13, stood in front of all the stars, and at this time people can officially determine that this year's All-Star MVP is none other than him.
Sure enough, NBA commissioner David Stern pulled Zhang Qi and announced loudly to the audience: "In 1998, NBA All-Star MVP, Zhang ...... Unclean! ”
When Zhang Qi heard his name, he immediately took out the excited expression of winning the Oscar for Best Actor, stepped forward to take the trophy, and said in a slightly trembling tone: "I want to thank my family and friends, thank my teammates, and thank this alliance...... But it is you who need to be thanked the most. Zhang Qiu pointed to the fans, and everyone knew who he was referring to, "At the moment when you cheered for me, I felt that everything I had paid was worth it." The honor I have received is inseparable from your support and protection, and in my heart you are like an angel. ”
At this moment, 60E fans around the world were moved by Zhang Fu. But they won't know that the second half of Zhang Mao's sentence had already been sent to the young ladies last night. Therefore, now the young ladies still think that Zhang Yu is showing affection to herself.
Zhang Fu thanked everything according to the usual practice, and then naturally came to the 13th part, only to see him raise the AMVP trophy with one hand, hold his head high, and say: "Few people know that the diameter of a basketball is 25 centimeters, and the diameter of the basket is about 45 centimeters and a half, which is almost twice as large as a basketball." For every player, it is a long and difficult distance to put a 25-centimeter basketball into a 45-and-a-half-centimeter frame. But once it is done, the world that opens up for the players in a 45-and-a-half-centimeter frame is infinitely large......"
"Bang Bang ......"
#######
The next day, any fan who walked up to a street newsstand would not be surprised, and Zhang Mao's riotous words once again made headlines in sports news around the world.
He himself is used to it, even if it is an incredible triple AMVP in the eyes of others, he is not too excited.
It's not about pretending to be 13, and the excitement when he received the MVP trophy yesterday wasn't even as exciting as when he got Britney some time ago.
He has completely lost the trophy, and next year he will really help his teammates compete for it.
But for now, he needs to look back at the regular season, and the Lakers still have the second half of the schedule to play.
In February, with the Lakers playing a full 10 games over the next 18 days due to the delay of All-Star Weekend, the schedule naturally began to get dense, and this is also the period when injuries are most likely to erupt.
Harris is glad that his team is full of players with excellent injury resistance, and apart from Mason, there is really no need to worry about anyone suddenly getting injured, which is the key to their confidence to defend their title.
However, the Lakers still lost two of those 10 games back-to-back, and the Pacers and Rockets became the second and third teams to beat the Lakers this season.
Zhang Mao has nothing to complain about this, it is difficult to play 10 games in 18 days, and no one can catch up with back-to-back at this time, unless it is a weak team, otherwise if you want to win, you can only pray for the favor of Sister Luck.
The Lakers don't care much about these two games, they no longer have to maintain the obsession of winning streaks, although they want to hit 75 wins, but they will never risk injury to fight hard, "defending the title" is always their first goal.
In a blink of an eye, it is February 27, and the Lakers have a 52-3 overall record after beating the Timberwolves 104-91 on the road today.
The memorable part of this game is that Zhang Zhu broke through 2,000 points in the game, only 55 games have been played this season, and Zhang Zhu's season total has reached 2014 points. Except for Chamberlain, he has been neck-and-neck with Jordan, tied with Jordan as the second-fastest player in history to break 2,000 points in a single season.
Not only that, Zhang Mao has averaged 36.6 points, 8.3 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 3.0 steals per game in these 55 games, and his scoring data is only 0.5 points away from Jordan's average of 37.1 points per game in the 86-87 season.
Zhang Wei himself was not very satisfied, Chamberlain didn't mention it, his record was a bit incomprehensible. However, Jordan also broke through 2,000 points in the 55th game that year, but there is an unspoken rule of first come, first come, first come, so he still ranked third behind Jordan in the rankings, which made Zhang Qi a little unhappy.
Fortunately, his career has only just begun, and there are plenty of opportunities to try and break Jordan's record in the future. Although, that's not easy to do. After averaging more than 35 points per game, it is incredibly difficult to improve every point, otherwise he would not have been able to exceed his average of 37 points per game until now.
In March, both Zhang and Lakers fans dubbed it "Devil's March" because they had to play a full 17 games this month, and there were five back-to-back games to cross, and one bad one lost a 75-win chance.
"Our schedule this season has been easy and then difficult, and you can see how difficult it is in March. And I would say that April was a harder schedule than March, when we had 10 games in 18 days and three back-to-backs waiting for us. ”
Zhang Qi thought of the schedule for the next two months, which was also a first two big.
Today is March 1st, and when he participated in the CS1.4 version global conference, he specifically mentioned the Lakers' schedule for the next month and a half, adding up to a total of 8 back-to-back games, which is really a headache to think about.
With such a schedule, if he only loses half of them, that is, four back-to-backs, he feels good.
"Obviously, it's hard to get 70+ wins, not 75 wins, because every team has a long and intense schedule over a five-and-a-half-month schedule, and most of the losses come from during that time. If our schedule this year is reversed, then let alone 39 consecutive wins, I'm afraid 19 consecutive wins are extravagant. ”
Zhang Fu's words seem to be low-key and modest, but in fact he is still pretending to be 13.
The more he belittles his achievements, the more people will find that this is really the old routine.
Zhang Yu was busy today, and he also played an exhibition game with his self-aim at the press conference, and then scolded the cheating player in the post-game interview, and his face was not red at all.
"Source Studios" released the original beta version of CS for free last year, and the results were far more popular than expected, especially after the release of the 1.0 beta version, the world was boiling in this era of FPS games, and now you can hear the iconic phrase "Fire·in·the·hole" in Internet cafes around the world.
Of course, the Dragonborn company saw that the MOD inadvertently produced by this "Origin Studio" had a money path that was not inferior to the ontology, and the "Origin Studio" also began to divide the staff to set up a separate project for CS, and then the 1.1 version, 1.2 version, and 1.3 version came one after another, and now the 1.4 version has a very high degree of completion, and even the official competition has been held once, and the next thing is of course to charge.
In fact, "Source Studios" wanted to officially release CS as early as version 1.2 because this game is so simple. But Zhang Mo stopped the studio and rejected the studio's intention to charge a fee, because he wanted to use the unexpectedly popular game to promote a new platform, the Dragonborn game platform.
That's right, this is a game platform developed and designed by Zhang Mo himself, players can download games on this platform, and in the future, they can also buy games directly on the platform. However, at this stage, you can only use the activation code in the genuine disc to activate the game and download it, because the way to buy bonds with cash to consume it requires the Dragonborn Company to solve the laws of various countries, as well as the security of transactions and other issues before it can be opened, after all, this is the world's first digital game platform.
At this stage, the "Dragonborn Game Platform" can only activate the game through the genuine activation code in the game disc, but once activated, it can be downloaded and deleted freely, although it is not possible to buy the game directly on the platform, but this digital download method is much more convenient than the physical disc, which is a big step forward.
CS1.4 is the first digital game on the "Dragonborn Game Platform", and each newly registered account will have a free activation code special offer, but the time will only last until March 15, and you can only spend money to buy it after it expires.
Dragonborn Games has already released games, and will continue to add to it in the future, and will even cooperate with other companies to add games that have been released and unreleased by other companies to the platform. Those who have purchased the original version will be able to activate their own games on the platform in the future, and it will be displayed as achievements on the ICQ.
Zhang Yu felt that his father was too good at cheating money, once this platform was tied to ICQ, people would have to download games on this platform in the future.
Most of the software on today's computers, from Office in cooperation with Microsoft, to a simple alarm clock, almost ninety percent of computer users will choose to start from ICQ. Especially after the new version of ICQ can customize the UI and allow users to freely add and arrange commonly used software, even Microsoft is glad that it chose to cooperate in the first place, otherwise as long as Dragonborn Software makes an office software similar to Office, their orthodox Office is afraid that no one will use it.
It's the same after the launch of this game platform, and the hearts of major game companies are about to pounce again.
Who doesn't know how terrible ICQ's user stickiness is, and in the future, they can only choose to cooperate with Dragonborn, and don't want to build a similar platform to compete, because as long as they think of ICQ behind it, these companies that want to compete will have to be discouraged.
After Zhang Yu finished loading 13, he found that there seemed to be nothing wrong with his previous prediction, and the Lakers hit the street in the first back-to-back.
The New York Knicks had the honor of becoming the fourth Dragon-Slayer Warriors to wear out the Lakers in an overtime at home.
The final score of this game was 95:99, and the Lakers did not break through 100 points in an overtime game, which shows how abrasive Van Gundy's team is.
After suffering a fourth-round loss in New York, the Lakers faced the Pacers and Spurs in quick succession. Especially in the double overtime battle with the Spurs, Zhang Qian was so tired that his feet were weak, Kidd was directly carried down with cramps, and the Lakers only narrowly beat the Spurs by 2 points at home by relying on Zhang Mao's quasi-stunner.
After this hard-fought battle, Zhang Mao finally felt how terrible these strengthened teams were.
After the Spurs twin towers spent half a season running-in period, especially after Duncan gradually adapted to the rhythm of the NBA, Zhang Wei even felt that it was more difficult than the Clippers.
In this game, Duncan played far better than in previous games, playing 49 minutes and cutting 32 points and 16 rebounds, and he contributed 66 points and 30 rebounds along with Robinson.
The Lakers' interior line was blown up by the opponent for the first time today, Mason was fouled in regular time, even Mutombo and Ben Wallace were ejected in the first overtime, and finally Zhang Yu was in the top four position in the second overtime, so that the Lakers would not fall into the embarrassment of having no interior line available.
What, you say Battle?
It may not be a good idea to say that, but he really can't play a game of this intensity.
The Lakers' two victories were no easier than back-to-back, but fortunately, they met the Pistons and the Trail Blazers, two soft persimmons, and the Lakers thought they could take the opportunity to warm their hands.
But unexpectedly, after the Pistons returned, Pippen led the team to a 4-1 record.
This is Pippen's sixth game with the Pistons, and Pippen, who has changed from second brother to first brother, almost dragged the Lakers into overtime with a statistic of 40 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists when facing the Lakers. Of course, there was also Rodman's contribution of 12 points and 18 rebounds, and in short, the Lakers suffered another narrow victory.
Zhang Zhu knows very well the reason why Pippen performed well in the Pistons, this thing is obviously still working hard for the next contract, so not being in the Bulls will not affect his play, and now Pippen can make people more aware of his role, as long as he can play better results and statistics in the Pistons than Hill in the Pistons, then he is eligible to ask for a 100 million yuan contract next season.
The Trail Blazers are not very soft on their side, although their professionalism is not very good, but these guys are not bad at talent, and if they are in the right shape, they can also bite off a piece of meat from the so-called strong teams.
The Lakers have not had much luck this time, just in time for the Trail Blazers to burst into seed, although they still won the game with better talent and execution, but the thing that warmed their hands is not to mention again.
"The difficulty of this game seems to have increased?"
Zhang Yu found that the game after the All-Star was getting harder and harder, the two soft persimmons became hedgehogs, and then the Lakers had to run into a real hard stubble - their second back-to-back in March, the opponent was the city rival Clippers, this time it was really terrible!
The Lakers have played the Clippers three times this season, and this is the last regular season meeting between the two teams, and although the venue for the battle is the Lakers' home court, back-to-back games have all but erased the home-court advantage. Everyone can imagine that the Clippers, who were killed three times by them before, will definitely seize the last chance to avoid being killed four times this time, and the fifth Dragon Slayer Warrior will not be them.
Of course, in the eyes of Clippers fans, the main reason why the Lakers were able to get through the danger in this battle was that they inserted an undercover agent.
Michael Finley, the Lakers veteran, the biggest pot in the Clippers' loss today must be put on his back - 2 of 12 shots from the field, and 1 of 8 three-point shots, such a performance can only be described as "undercover", no matter how good Zhang Mao's defense is, it is not a reason for him to be so cheating, especially after seeing Jones score 20 points on the opposite side, what else can Clippers fans think?
Zhang Wei felt a little sympathy for Finley, this guy played well except for a few games when he first arrived at the Clippers, and then he started to play a game that was not as good as one.
But can he be blamed for this?
The Clippers don't have Kidd and Zhang, plus a Mason who can pass him at any time.
In the past three years with the Lakers, Finley has been playing the role of a wing and baseline killer, and he has focused all his skills on the wing and baseline cuts, as well as fixed-point three-pointers.
But the embarrassing thing is that how much power Finley's skills can exert depends on the team's system, his own role positioning, and whether his teammates are willing/able to pass the ball, because Finley himself does not have the ability to score actively, and he needs the perfection of his teammates and system to play his ability.
The Lakers used the disconnection between Finley and the Clippers in this battle, which made the Zen master always in a dilemma - using Finley to play 5 with 4, and 4 to defend 5 without need, and finally let the Lakers gradually amplify the advantage of this, even if O'Neal scored 44 points and made 10 of 12 free throws, he finally failed to lead the Clippers to avoid the embarrassment of being killed by four.
Zhang Qi began to feel sorry for this fat man again, and today he finally played at a super level in free throws, but he still failed to beat himself and win the game, and the tragic figure of the year should be able to choose him into it.
