Chapter 100: Two Generations in the Same House

The Magic officially signed a player contract with his old club before the Lakers' game against the Suns, and the news quickly made headlines. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

'I'm not going to play right away, I just joined at the end of the month and I'm still getting used to the way the team plays. This alliance has changed a lot since I left, and it will take me time to get used to it. ”

This is the first time that the magician has answered the topic of comeback positively, he said that he will not ask for the core treatment, this comeback in addition to being unwilling, he prefers to hand over the inheritance to Zhang Fu.

'It's his team, I'm not going to fight for anything. On the contrary, I will pass on all my experience to him, now in a way that will allow him to receive it faster. We all know that the Lakers will rely on him to lead the next ten years, and my story has come to an end. ”

When Zhang Qi heard the magician say this, he finally let go of the last bit of worry in his heart.

Although he knew that the magician would definitely not fight for anything, he was still a little uneasy, who made him too controlling.

Before the game against the Suns, Zhang Fu officially had an in-team training session with the Magic, and the two were in the same group.

The Magic now weighs 255 pounds, a tonnage that dooms him to no longer be able to hold the ball from beyond the three-point line like he did four years ago, and the threat of hitting him will be greatly reduced, because opponents only need to prevent him from shooting threes, and his outside breakaway has basically been scrapped.

Zhang Mao still has to take on the task of organizing the ball on the outside, which will not change, but Fan Maniac will have less ball possession, and the magic is still very threatening to hold the ball in the high and low posts, and he will definitely have to share some of the ball.

Four years ago, the Magic's offensive ability to orchestrate the whole court was one of the strongest in the league. Now he has changed his style of play to a half-court play, and his main position is the two low posts, the ribs and the high post, but he is still very perverted in the offensive vision, and he can always find teammates in the open space without difficulty.

Zhang Wei has to admire this, at the moment, in terms of the ability to find opportunities, he will be much worse than the magician in the same position.

That's where experience comes in, his talent is no worse than that of a magician, but the latter's more than a dozen years of experience in tournaments is something he can't match.

Several big forwards in the Lakers team, it is difficult to defend the Magic in the half-court positional battle, although he will no longer be seen holding the ball and changing direction to hit the basket, but when he receives the ball in the above positions, as long as the butt arches, if a teammate cuts in, he can immediately get the ball, if he doesn't have a teammate to cut, he can shoot with a small hook when he takes the ball and turns around, and the shooting rate is very amazing, quite a bit of the style of a court veteran.

Now with Magic's back-to-back offense at these positions, the Lakers suddenly have the ability to attack and play the ball in the low post, and his hook can be turned into a pass at any time on the way, and with Zhang Zhu, Van Exel and Ceballos on the outside, the average team simply does not dare to pinch him.

Jerry West immediately began to look for a new deal after seeing the Magic and Zhang Fu's pairing.

But this time the trade object has become a center, and the Lakers no longer lack power forward at this time, and the Magic can meet the Lakers' requirements in this position.

So what they are missing now is a defensive center, and although the Magic has exceeded expectations on the offensive end, he still seems to be slow on the defensive end, and the Lakers need a center who can control the restricted area to strengthen the defense under the basket.

On November 29, the Lakers played the Suns on the road.

Barkley's performance today is still sluggish, but even more sluggish than him is Kevin Johnson, who was defended by Van Exel's only 6 points in the game, which obviously did not help the Suns win, even if it was on their home court today, but it was the Lakers who won in the end.

Zhang Fu's performance today is not good, his "basket shaking technique" quickly caused widespread discussion in the United States after the media added fuel and vinegar, and many experts took it seriously, and during this time, they gathered fire to spray him.

Zhang Wei was naturally too lazy to refute these voices.

On the contrary, he is happy to have these people spray him, because this is tantamount to helping him hype up in disguise, and he hopes that more people will complain about him.

He didn't have a good hand today, taking 24 shots in the game and only hitting 9 goals in the end.

But it's not a shooting method or a wrong rhythm, it's just a bad feeling. Jordan only scored two or three of his 10 shots, which is a very normal situation.

However, Zhang knew that his shooting percentage would slowly stabilize, as his physical training had greatly diminished as the season progressed.

He won't have any more high-intensity physical training during the regular season. In other words, Zhang Fu's physical condition this season will be stable at about 220 pounds, at most, the increase in height will lead to an increase in weight of a few pounds, but this will not affect his shooting too much, so the stability of his shooting will definitely tend to be stable.

After the game, Zhang and the Magic had dinner with Barkley and Kevin Johnson.

This is the first time he has eaten with the core of the opposing team on the road, and the first thing the Magic decided to do after his comeback was to use his status to help him integrate into the circle of active superstars.

Barkley doesn't look at Zhang Qi so pleasing to the eye, but the Magician's face is big enough, as long as he takes Zhang Qi to fight away, then few people will not give face.

The big ass was on the face of the magician, and when they met after the game, they gave Zhang Mao a bear hug with extra strength, and almost broke his ribs.

But fortunately, there is a magician to match him, otherwise with his character, he is destined to be an enemy except for his teammates.

After the November schedule, the Lakers are still in third place in the West, and the biggest threat to them is the Clippers, and they will have to face this city opponent in the playoffs.

1. Seattle SuperSonics (11-3).

2. San Antonio Spurs (10-3).

3. Shanji Lakers (8-6).

4. Utah Jazz (9-4).

5. Houston Rockets (8-6).

6. Los Angeles Clippers (8-6).

7. Portland Trail Blazers (7-7).

8. Phoenix Suns (6-8).

9. Sacramento Kings (6-8).

The Lakers' record is solid, and the third place in the West has also exceeded expectations before the start of the season, and the media and fans naturally put the credit on Zhang Mao. In fact, there is no other explanation, the magician will not officially play yet.

As a result, Lakers fans and the Los Angeles media naturally began to pay attention to another thing: that is, can Zhang Zhu be selected for the All-Star Game in his first season?

Now in a small scene like the "Rookie Challenge", Zhang Fu's selection is already a sure thing, and no one is interested in guessing anymore.

Even this season's "Best Rookie", everyone knows that it has long been in Zhang Mao's bag, and only the question of whether he can be selected for the "All-Star Game" is worthy of everyone's concern.

The results of the 1996 All-Star first vote will be announced in early December, and this year there will be four rounds of vote counting, and Zhang's vote is now of interest to all fans.

On December 1, just after the Lakers beat the Grizzlies by 24 points, the "Los Angeles Times" began to hype Zhang Fu's All-Star journey -

"All-Star Weekend" is a star-studded stage, a combination of popularity and strength.

But only a handful of players in the league have been able to make it to the All-Star stage in their careers.

If a rookie, a rookie, is selected as an All-Star, or even an All-Star starter, in his first season in the league, it proves that he has the potential to be a superstar, and his career will definitely be different.

So which players in the history of the NBA have been selected as All-Stars in their rookie years, and what will their future hold?

The answer is 27 people! From the earliest Bob Cousy to last year's Rookie of the Year Grant Hill, this is all the players who have been selected to the All-Star Game in their rookie season since the NBA's first All-Star was held.

And the players who did it after the eighties were Magic Johnson, Isaiah Thomas, Buck Williams, Ralph Sampson, Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, David Robinson, Shaquille O'Neal, Grant Hill.

The Los Angeles Times didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning was clear.

Zhang Zhu's current average data per game is not inferior to anyone here, but it is not as good as his grab, such as last season's All-Star ticket king Grant Hill, not to mention that the data of last season's rookie season is not as good as Zhang Zhu, even if this year's data is still slightly inferior to Zhang Zhu.

Since these people can all be selected as All-Stars in their rookie season and even become starters, there is no reason for Zhang to be turned away.

Two days later, facing the Indian Pacers led by Reggie Miller, Zhang Zhu handed over 28 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists to lead the Lakers to a five-game winning streak of 104-96.

This kind of performance is more effective than any language, of course, publicity is also an indispensable link, the main page of the "Dragonborn Browser" appeared in the handsome shot of Zhang Zhu, and it was accompanied by a sentence that pretended to be very strong - "It is not only words that can convey feelings".

Bill Gates must be very sore now, just three days after the launch of the "Dragonborn Browser", it has attracted nearly 100,000 people to download and use.

This is not only the convenience of ICQ users who can download directly without registration, but the home page of "Dragonborn Browser" is actually a navigation page, which covers the addresses of almost all well-known websites, and can be linked to with just one click.

The Dragonborn Company's self-benefiting behavior immediately attracted applause in the industry.

At this time, even the competitors had to applaud the behavior of the Dragonborn Company, this kind of unparalleled spirit is difficult to arouse anyone's disgust, and doing business has made the realm of swallowing the world, and many elites have begun to pay attention to this small Dragonborn Company.

Everyone knows that the success of a company with this kind of courage and creativity is only a matter of time.
