Zhang Wei only needs to score 32 points today to surpass Jordan, which will make him more than one point in the total score, no matter how you look at it, it is enough to complete an all-round surpass.

But Zhang Yu still chose a more cautious approach, he was worried that if something happened, such as the person who made the rules of the game, he would suddenly overturn the rules himself. This kind of thing is the best thing for the American people, including him, who has not cheated others so much.

Therefore, Zhang Fu felt that he still had a slight chance of overturning, and now he can get a few more points, so he naturally has to take a few more points.

There is another reason here, if he is only one point more than Jordan, it is too deliberate, too mocking, and it also seems that his purpose is too obvious, and it is easy for black fans to take the opportunity to make some articles.

The purpose of the Jazz today is also obvious, they chose victory.

There is a big difference between the second and third places in the West, and even if they go against Zhang Fu, they are not completely sure that Zhang Fu will not score 32 points. If the final loss does not prevent Zhang Qi from getting a high score, wouldn't it be a loss to his wife and a soldier? It's easy to be laughed at for decades, so it's not worth it! Besides, although Malone and Stockton hate Zhang Mao, they also don't have a good impression of Jordan, so why should they work hard for two people they don't like?

Zhang played 44 minutes in the end, which was clearly playing the game as if it were a playoff game, and the long enough playing time allowed him to score 42 points, so that his total score was 3,051, which is more than 37.1 points per game after 82 games.

Zhang Qi found that his purpose was still obvious, he didn't want to play the same average points per game as Jordan at all. In case the NBA changes the rule of not counting total points in some year, although it is very unlikely, if someone deliberately embarrasses him, then he can only be parallel to Jordan.

Therefore, he simply didn't even leave Jordan with the opportunity to fight for the total score, from the beginning, he didn't just want to score 32 points, he wanted 42 points that could make Jordan completely GG.

But the good things didn't all fall on his head, and the Lakers eventually lost to the Jazz 108-115.

Zhang Mao got what he wanted, and Malone also played a big double-double of 40 points and 19 rebounds, and looked at him with a winner's attitude after the game.

This is very angry, this bastard got a high score as soon as he met the Lakers this year, and the state is amazing, the Lakers have lost to the Jazz for the second time, you must know that they only lost 6 games in a whole season.

This is also a dangerous signal, although Harris's mission today is mainly to help Zhang Qi get a high score, he also has no intention of losing, and the two tasks are completely at the same time. But as a result, they only completed the task of making Zhang Qi brush up on high scores, and for this reason, they once trailed the Jazz by nearly 20 points.

This is alarming, as it shows that the Jazz are capable of beating the Lakers and that they can no longer do whatever they want.

After the game, Zhang Qi not only secretly hated Ma Long's pride, but also did not forget to glance at McDyes.

When can't the Lakers do whatever they want against the Jazz?

The answer is exactly: after this guy joined the Jazz.

McDyes liberated Malone to a large extent, and in turn Malone liberated his athleticism, and the two + Stockton formed a perfect chemistry.

With McDyce coming to the Jazz this year, the "Postman" has an All-Star-level interior partner for the first time, and it is also a partner with explosive physical fitness, which will undoubtedly make the opponent no longer able to devote all his energy to dealing with him and Stockton's pick-and-roll, and the Jazz's two-man pick-and-roll has become a bit of a triangle offense.

The Lakers lost these two games, and they were basically blown up by the Jazz from the inside, which means that the combination of Mutombo + Mason can't hold the combination of Malone + McDyes.

But today, the Lakers don't have to think about it so much for the time being, because April 19, 1998, it was another day worth remembering - although the Lakers lost to the Jazz at home, they still won 76 games, reached the milestone of 75+ wins, and became the only team in NBA history to surpass 75 regular season wins.

This is naturally a new world record, and the Lakers surpassed themselves last season, losing a measly six games in 82 games in one season.

Zhang has also broken many milestones of her own this season. First of all, this is his first full-time season, and instead of taking a break or two games after the All-Star and at the end of the season like in the previous two seasons, Zhang has not missed a game this season.

This is just a small meaning, full attendance just allows him to have more games to create more personal records, and what really makes him make headlines in major newspapers in the next few days is that Zhang Zhu broke Jordan's scoring record this season, including the "highest points per game" and "total points" records, and now Zhang Zhu is already the NBA's highest scoring champion in a single season after the establishment of the "scoring champion".

This is very powerful, Zhang Qian has a total of 3052 points, 680 rebounds, 515 assists, 234 steals, and 80 blocks this season. He is only the second player in history to score 3,000 points, 600 assists and 500 rebounds. The other, of course, was Chamberlain, but we ignored him. If you convert these into averages per game, that's 37.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 2.8 steals and 0.9 blocks per game. Zhang Qi also became the second player in history to average 37 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists per game, and the other person should continue to ignore it.

But do you think these are Zhang Fu's most hanging achievements?

Of course, not only that, Zhang Mao also entered the 180 club for the first time this season, which is an honor that the person he ignored has not received. Moreover, Zhang Wei may have felt that the difficulty of the 180 club was too low, so he directly skipped the 180 club and entered the unprecedented 190 club. Here only his name appears on the list.

This season, Zhang Qi shot 56.6% from the field, 44.8% from three-point range, and 90.5% from the free throw line, which has exceeded the requirements of the 180 club.

The NBA's "180 Club," also known as the 50-40-90 Club, is an informal term that refers to NBA players shooting at least 50 percent from the field, 40 percent from three-point range, and 90 percent from the free-throw line throughout the season.

Zhang Mao's first two seasons were a little painful, because he exceeded the requirements in shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage, but the free throw shooting rate was consistently less than 90%, which made him slow to enter the 180 club.

This season, Zhang Mao has especially strengthened free throw training, so that the free throw shooting rate finally exceeded 90%. At the same time, his first two hits are still steadily improving. As a result, the 180 Club could no longer accommodate him, and Zhang Yu was promoted two levels in a row, and he directly met the requirements of the 190 Club.

Just to give you an example, the NBA's "180 Club" is already many times more difficult than the "Gold Club" Diamond VIP, because not only does it have a hard 50-40-90 target, but it also requires players to hit at least 300 shots, 60 three-pointers, and 125 free throws throughout the season.

So, there are only four people in the NBA who meet the requirements at the moment, Larry Bird (twice), Mark Price (once), Reggie Miller (once). Steve of the Bulls. While Kerr meets the hard criteria, he doesn't meet the requirement of "hitting at least 125 free throws."

Zhang Qi certainly meets these requirements, his 56.6 + 44.8 + 90.5, which is already 191.9 efficiency. Baby Koala accidentally made himself the first member in history to enter the 190 Club, and he is currently the only one in this club, which is really lonely!

Bulls fans may not admit this record, and they feel that Steve Kerr's 50.6% + 51.5% + 92.9% in the '95-96 season is also up to the mark, with Kerr averaging 23.4 minutes of playing time and 8.4 points that season.

However, Lakers fans and Zhang Mao's fans felt that Kerr's shots were not up to the mark, and Kerr only hit 244 goals that year, and only 84 free throws, both of which did not meet the requirements of the 180 club, so his name was not included in this club.

So the question is, a person who doesn't even meet the standards of the 180 club, can he enter the 190 club?

"I think the number of shots taken by the 180 club has been set at a low level, especially the number of three-point shots, which is only 60 for the whole season, and the average is less than one per game, how can this work?" Zhang Zhu was obviously about to start pretending, only to hear him say next: "However, I am not a member of the 180 Club, so I am not qualified to discuss and revise this rule." However, the rules of the 190 Club will be set by me. The first thing I hit was the number of three-pointers I hit in a single season, and I think it should be at least 150 or more. At the same time, the total number of shots and free throws will also be increased to 800 and 200. If a player doesn't even meet that requirement, then he's not qualified to be compared to me, and I won't give him that qualification. Finally, in the future, the 190 Club will change its name to a nice one. Like the 'Koala Club', or the 'Dragonborn Club'. ”

Zhang Zhu's words are not ordinary pretense, if the 180 club also formulates the rules according to him, then Bird, Miller and Price will all be GG, and he will be the only one in the 180 club who really meets the standard, which is probably his real intention.

But Zhang didn't accept criticism, and he made 320 three-pointers this season, surpassing Scott's record of 267 three-pointers in a single season set two years ago, and increasing the new record to 300+ in one fell swoop.

Therefore, he has now increased the three-point requirements of the 190 club to 150, which is not embarrassing for others at all, and even 200 is not too much, otherwise any cat and dog can stand with him, so does this honor still have gold content?

But what is annoying is that Zhang Wei then left a few or two sentences on his diary, which was too mocking-

"How lonely it is to be invincible."

"How empty is invincibility."

"Alone at the peak, the cold wind is constantly blowing."

"My loneliness, who can understand me."

“……”

Well, these words can be translated in one sentence: not a single one can fight!

Fortunately, Zhang Fu has not yet swelled to the extent of floating to the sky, when reporters need him to provide a little positive energy, Zhang Zhu gave full positive energy: "I don't want to repeat my road to success, in a word: three points are destined, seven points depend on hard work," but there is one sentence he did not finish, "The remaining ninety points have to rely on appearance." ”

The Los Angeles Times reported on the second day -

The NBA 97-98 regular season is over, this is the third season of the koala baby, this year he is only 21 years old, but he is already like a fish in water, we can only see him in the regular season to break various team history and youngest records, successfully won a basket of individual honors including "scoring king", "steal king", "triple-double king", and led the team to an unprecedented single season 76 wins and 39 consecutive wins.

There are so many other accolades to be crowned this season's baby koala that if you change the name, each one would be enough to make the headlines. However, by changing the name to Baby Koala, these achievements are not enough to shock people, because everyone knows that it is just his normal performance.

There are indeed too many of these accolades, such as becoming the first player since Chamberlain to score at least 40 points in nine consecutive games, breaking the three-point shooting record of the season, the third club member with 3,000 points in a single season, and the first 190 club member in history.

In short, this season's koala baby is a high-speed war machine, and it's hard to tell all of his accomplishments this season in one sitting, but one thing is for sure, the koala baby will never be like Bill Russell, who led the Celtics to 60 wins in the '62-63 regular season MVP, not Mr. 100 Chamberlain. Because he completed the greatest season in NBA history, he led the Lakers to a single-season 39-game winning streak and 76 single-season wins that could never be replicated again. Our koala baby completed the double script of Russell and Chamberlain in one season.

The evaluation of the "Los Angeles Times" can not be raised, but Zhang Wei will not be blown higher, although he often floats to the sky by himself, but this does not mean that he will be blown up by others, when to float up, when to fall, he knows very well in his heart.

Therefore, he will not indulge in the glory of the past, and when he brags about these things in the future, when he lies to the young lady, he can take them out again. Now that the regular season is over, it's really over except for the rankings that can be carried into the playoffs. Next, he must ensure that his Titanic will not capsize in the playoffs.

Zhang Wei will not continue to get carried away, even the Titanic, which was claimed to be unsinkable, capsized back then, and there is no such thing as nine out of ten things in this world. Moreover, nine out of ten is stable originally refers to ninety percent certainty, that is, there is still a possibility of one percent failure. The current Lakers can be described as nine out of ten, but even if there is a nine out of ten things, it may not be foolproof in the end.

After the regular season, the playoff bracket was officially released, and Zhang Fu faced an interview with Dragonborn Sports and began to accumulate character for the next playoffs early.

"Our goal is to create a new dynasty, but I have always been clear that the greatness of a dynasty is not only strength, but also luck. We have the strength now and we just hope that luck doesn't come too late. ”

Zhang Mao's words have the meaning of making a good excuse for his only 1 percent failure, if he is really unfortunate to be hit by that one percent chance, then he can blame the pot on luck, anyway, he will always find a good way out for himself.

This year's playoffs will continue to be played in the same format as last year, with a 2-2-1 format for Bo5 in the first round, a 2-2-1-1-1 format for Bo7 after the second round and division finals, and a 2-3-2 format for the Grand Final.

This year, Zhang Fu is too lazy to complain about this strange competition system, just look at the matchup table of the east and west:

Western Conference - Lakers vs. Rockets; Jazz vs Trail Blazers; Spurs vs. Timberwolves; Clippers VS Supersonics.

Eastern Conference - Bulls vs. Pistons; Heat VS Bullets; Pacers vs. Cavaliers; Knicks vs Hawks.

As soon as this matchup table came out, Zhang Wei laughed for a long time, and what made him feel most interesting was not his side, but the Bulls VS Pistons in the East. He dares to guarantee that this group of matchups will not be worse than them in terms of ratings, because even he wants to see the Jordan + Hill vs Pippen + Rodman scene.

In the Western Conference, the Lakers certainly drew the best pick. Let's not mention their opponents, the Rockets. If the Jazz and Spurs can be bitten off by their respective opponents, and the Clippers and Supersonics have another lose-lose situation, it will be the best outcome for the Lakers. And in this matchup, it is easy to have the above results, so it is said that the Lakers draw the best.

Now when it comes to their opponent Rockets, the Lakers are of course very relaxed, although Olajuwon has returned at the end of the regular season, but his form is very inconsistent, only one of the ten games back to exceed 25 points, averaging only 15 points and 8 rebounds per game, which is far below his level last year, and even the state before the injury this season is not as good.

Mutombo has already released his words, if he can't even clean up such a big dream, and let the other party get more than 20+10 data, then he will have no face to shake his fingers in the future.

Zhang Wei felt that this military order was a bit ruthless, and it seemed that the old dog was a little inflated in his heart, but he would like his teammates to be inflated like this, at least they would not become complacent because of this, and they would strategically despise their opponents, which is not a derogatory term.

In general, although the Lakers did not shout too many slogans internally, everyone, including Zhang Zhu, felt in their hearts that this must be a series of sweeps, and even if they lost a game, they would end up with a failed answer.

The Lakers' schedule is also out, with their first game on April 23 and their final game on May 2. Well, if Team Rocket can really hold out until that day. Now the Lakers have made up their minds that they must end the first round on April 28.

Then, naturally, it was time to wait......

Generally speaking, the waiting time before the start of the playoffs must be filled with water, because those contents that consume nutrients cannot be written, and content that does not consume nutrients is afraid of losing subscriptions.

This is very embarrassing, so the unscrupulous media can only water the predictions of celebrities from all walks of life, talk to media reporters for no reason, and then discuss who will win regular season awards such as MVP. If you are more professional, you can also analyze the performance of the players of the two teams when they play against each other in the regular season, introduce their respective preparations, and so on.

But I'm sorry, the Lakers really don't have anything to analyze, especially against an opponent like the Rockets, then there is nothing worth analyzing, and now it's not even necessary to guess if the Rockets can win a game.

So, when Dragonborn Sports interviewed the Magician, the big mouth who likes to analyze didn't bother to comment too much: "During the regular season, Lyon sometimes indulges his inner desires. But the playoffs are different. In the playoffs and finals, Lyon barely loses his composure. As I said earlier, Leon always knew how to play and he couldn't make mistakes. I think the Rockets' odds of winning are infinitely equal to zero, and their odds of winning the next game are about the same as the end of the world. ”

Of course, at this time, we can't forget the Chinese sports reporters, who will definitely ask all the Lakers members one by one before and after the game: "What do you think of Wang?" What do you think of Wang's performance? ”

To be honest, this question is really difficult if Wang Zhizhi, who is destined to lose, is not embarrassed. Or rather, these sports reporters are just trying to make things awkward. Wouldn't they be unaware that this kind of problem is super unnutritious? Will they not know that it is super stupid to ask this?

Of course they knew, but they were going to run over and ask their opponents a whole bunch of and stupid questions when the Chinese team met the American team and got a big defeat.

Fortunately, the Lakers players gave Zhang Mao a face, and they didn't directly say "Who is Wang" and answer in the face.

Zhang Fu gave enough face here, when he mentioned Wang Zhizhi at the pre-game press conference, he also gave the other party a word of encouragement: "Don't mention the game, what I want to say to him is, 'Don't see yourself as a giant when you succeed, don't see yourself as a dwarf when you fail', since everyone thinks it's difficult for you to win, then, what's so scary?" Go out and have a lively fight, and it's over! ”

Well, this game did end quickly......

On April 23, the Great Western Forum Arena, Lakers VS Rockets - Bo1 in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

The koala baby incarnated as a L.A. chainsaw murderer, and the knife was red, and it took only 3 quarters to score 45 points, and the Lakers won!
