After playing the game against the Trail Blazers, Zhang has been secretly observing the performance of Iverson and other stars, fearing that something will happen again.

His performance this week is supposed to be solid, but nothing in this world will not go wrong, and he will not be able to put his heart back until the week's games are all over.

Chris Webber averaged 22 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists per game this week, and qualifies for the Weekly Championship at other times, but he shouldn't be much of a threat in the face of Zhang's more ungodly performance.

Grant Hill also averaged 26 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists per game this week, which was originally a big threat, but doubling the score made Zhang Wei feel very stable.

Shaquille O'Neal averaged 34 points, 15 rebounds and three assists per game this week, but the shark was the least dangerous of the three.

These are the three people who can pose a threat to him this week, and none of the other stars can pose a threat to him this week.

Even these three are difficult to beat him, the scoring data is too bad, and the other statistics are not against the sky.

Well, now the last question is the Clippers.

The Lakers' final game of the season is their neighbors, and these guys originally wanted to be the 81st toughest, but now that the Lakers have 73 wins, winning or losing to make new history, all the Clippers can do is give their descendants a chance to break the Lakers' record, which means little to themselves.

The Lakers still care about the difference between 73 wins and 74 wins, and the Bulls lost a game against the Lakers last season, causing their 72 wins to become 71 wins, which gave the Lakers a chance to surpass this year.

If the Bulls' record last year was 72 wins, the Lakers will have more variables to break the record this year, and this little butterfly effect is likely to have a huge ripple effect, and the Lakers may not even be able to get 70 wins.

The Clippers want to do it now, or O'Neal himself wants to do it.

Once the Lakers get 74 wins, it is safe to say that unless the league increases the number of regular season games by 5 to 10 in the future, no team will surpass this record, or even tie it.

But if the record of 73 wins is true, maybe there will be teams that can match that number in the future and not let the Lakers dominate.

O'Neal has the ambition to tie the record in his heart, he thinks that as long as he is equipped with a Pippen-level second-in-command and one or two high-quality role players to assist, then with his invincible dominance on the inside, he has the ability to challenge the 70+ record and even catch up with the Lakers' 73 wins in the peak period of at least five years in the next five years.

Zhang Zhu and O'Neal, this is the media and fans unanimously agreed that the most suitable for the future NBA rules of the inside and outside players, because they both have unrivaled singles ability, there has never been a basketball player with such height and weight and such strong athleticism in history, these two are simply transformers.

Zhang Wei doesn't think so, he thinks O'Neal's confrontation ability can be regarded as the first in history, and his explosiveness and flexibility are not bad, but he has to be a little faster to be truly unbeatable, at least in heads-up he is not Olajuwon's opponent, and he can only blow up with David Robinson, and he has too many people in the fifth position to beat.

"Do you think O'Neal will join you as the best No. 3 and No. 5 in NBA history?"

This is the question asked by a reporter wearing the No. 14 jersey under the suit on the day of the game, and the person he asked was Zhang Mao.

"Of course, no matter what media calls for the 'NBA all-time best team,' I bet Jordan will be at No. 2, I'll be at No. 3, and No. 5 will be O'Neal?"

As soon as Zhang Wei said this, he immediately scolded a few media who were inclined to the Clippers, didn't this put O'Neal on the stage to bake?

Everyone knows that O'Neal will never appear in the No. 5 position, because there is a Chamberlain in front of him who is too rebellious, and there is a sky hook that scores first.

The boss has been weighing more than 300 pounds for seven or eight years at his peak, and he is basically superior to O'Neill in all other aspects, except for being slightly inferior in confrontation.

But the shark can't use his slightly superior strength to defeat Dashuai, because the difference in strength between the two is less than a level, and O'Neill can't form a crushing force in strength, so he will inevitably be killed by Dashuai's all-round skills.

Zhang Wei now dares to say that he is irreplaceable in the No. 3 position, Lord Belle, Dr. J can only pinch his nose and admit this, just by virtue of his age and a series of records, it doesn't hurt to have this qualification, even if there is no champion.

O'Neill doesn't dare to say that he can be stronger than Chamberlain, or even Tiangou and Da Meng, these three will never give him face, it is estimated that the general and the orangutan will not admit that O'Neill is stronger than him, anyway, everyone has no champion, and the koala baby still has at least N records, do you have any historical-level records for the big shark?

Of course not, the only honor that the poor fat man has now is that he was swept by a big dream in the finals the year before last, which sounds inexplicably familiar.

April 210, today is the last game between the Lakers and the Clippers, and the last game of the regular season in the 96-97 season, of course, there are a lot of gimmicks, and the biggest attraction is whether the Lakers' 74th win can be achieved?

Harris didn't want to keep his main players playing for too long, and they had a lot of luck this year, with most of the starters being young and strong lads who had not had major injuries all season. But except for Zhang Fu, everyone else needs to take a break at the end of the season, especially this kind of game that doesn't mean much, it's better not to fight with the Clippers, it's a little not worth it!

Zhang Wei has a different opinion, the Lakers think it's not worth it, do the Clippers think it's worth it?

Lakers players are obviously much better than the Clippers in terms of their ability to resist injuries, not to mention anything else, O'Neal has been injured in more than 30 games this season, Jones and Rodgers have also been injured in more than a dozen games each, and even Kobe Bryant Jr. and Barry have been injured in 8 games, so who is not willing to die?

O'Neal was happy before the game, but when it came to the game, he may not really play with the Lakers, it is likely that he guessed that the Lakers would not dare to really fight, and felt that the Lakers who won 73 would have a lot of concerns, so they were so happy.

Zhang Qi knew that this fat man was not only lazy, but also very cunning, he had always only used seven points in the regular season, and only in the playoffs could he see a full O'Neal, so he didn't believe that this guy was willing to go all out in the final battle of the regular season.

"That fat man is bluffing, but we don't care what he thinks, if he really intends to stop us from winning 74, even if he lets him come over, will we be afraid of this little broken ship?"

Zhang Qi directly helped the coach set the tone of the game in the locker room, and they would not back down in the final battle, and they would dare to bury the Clippers if they dared to come.

In the home locker room, the Clippers are also struggling.

O'Neal really wants to fight the Lakers, but head coach Bill Feige doesn't want to fight the Lakers, because it's completely meaningless, is it just to prevent the Lakers from winning 74?

The Clippers now have a record of 57 wins, which is third in the West, and they are six wins behind the second-place Jazz, and they have long had no chance to go further.

Fourth in the West is the Rockets, who have 56 wins, and the final game has reached the third quarter, 15 points ahead of the Spurs, who are trying to lose, and the 57th win is certainly no problem.

But it doesn't matter, even if the Rockets get 57 wins, the Clippers and the Rockets have a 3:1 record, and there is no rule that the first division automatically enters the top three, so the Clippers are in third place in the final game, whether they win or lose, and there is no need to win against the Lakers.

Although O'Neal has a high status in the team, he can't make any decisions for the head coach, especially a coach like Bill Feige, who has coached real giants and won championships, O'Neal doesn't dare to be too presumptuous.

Zhang Qi took a look at the Clippers' player status before the game and found that these guys are indeed qualified to compete with him, especially the attributes of the main players have improved compared to the beginning of the season, which means that this team has good potential and there is still a lot of potential to be tapped.

Clippers starters: Van Exel (87), Eddie Jones (87), Rodgers (82), Lloy Ott (86), Shaquille O'Neal (97).

Lakers starters: Jason Kidd (86), Michael Finley (85), Zhang (95), Anthony Mason (86), Deacbe Mutombo (88).

If you look at the attributes of the starters on both teams, both the Lakers and the Clippers have a significant numerical lead - Zhang and O'Neal.

However, even if this season's "block king" Mutombo loses to O'Neal, he will not be overwhelmed by his full-time defense, but may make O'Neal anxious.

There is no doubt that Zhang Yu will blow up Rodgers here, so no matter how you look at it, the Lakers have some advantages.

In addition to the main lineup, the battle between the two teams on the bench is also crucial, and the Clippers have some advantage in this regard, at least in terms of attributes.

The Clippers' main benches this season are: Kobe Bryant (80), Dean Garnett (79), Brent Barry (78), Bo Outlaw (78).

Lakers' main benches: John Starks (84), Ben Wallace (76), Ricky Pierce (75), Greg Anderson (70).

Not to mention, the Clippers have more people available on the bench, but the Lakers use more of a seven-man rotation, Ricky and Anderson only play seven or eight minutes a game, and Starks and Wallace's playing time has reached and approached the main force, which is actually half a pound to eight taels.

The real gap between the two sides is chemistry, tacit understanding, fit, and a lot of things that can't be seen on the books.

Zhang Qi glanced at Kobe Bryant, who was sitting on the field before the game, this little guy's progress is not slow, don't underestimate his ability value of just 80, little O'Neal has not risen to 70 so hard this season, and he can barely keep a water cooler until recently.

But the younger Kobe Bryant is capable of playing the role of an important rotation player, playing an average of 24 minutes per game, almost two quarters of injury per game, and his efficiency is not bad.

Therefore, Zhang Wei admitted that he was blind at the beginning, and the potential of this little guy is comparable to that of Eddie Jones, and he is fully capable of replacing Rodgers in the No. 3 position next season, because he does not look shorter than Finley and can play the No. 3 position.

Kobe doesn't feel like he's about the same as Jones, and he doesn't want to play the No. 3 position, although Jones is at his peak this year, so he can only play the role of the sixth man off the bench, but he always thinks that he can catch up with him in one summer, and completely surpass him in another summer.

That's right, that's Kobe's plan for the next two years, and he's going to steal the main spot from Jones before he turns 20.

Zhang Mao only glanced at Kobe Bryant before the opening, and then returned his attention to O'Neal.

No matter how he complains, this fat man is his future enemy, Jones and others are not qualified to be his enemies, these people Kidd and Finley can block him, and if he wants to see the true Buddha, he must first pass the level of the four heavenly kings under him.

O'Neill can't carry it alone, so he can be counted as his enemy.

The Lakers will continue to use Mason and Mutombo to defend O'Neal today, the two teams have met four times in the regular season, each time it is Mason who has a hard anal head, Mutombo harasses from the side, only the two of them can join forces to make this fat man unable to explode, and one person can only be exploded.

Mutombo has always been against Lloy Ott on the defensive end, and this low-profile version of Camp is most afraid of Mutombo, even Camp can't cross the African mountains, not to mention his low-profile version, which makes Mutombo have the energy to wrap up O'Neal.

Mason was the main player against O'Neal, and he was extra energetic when he hit the Clippers. While defending O'Neal isn't a good job, it's only when defending O'Neal that he can show his importance. Yes, the Lakers can't deal with the Clippers without Mason's top defense, and he is the only one on the team who can resist O'Neal in two steps, even Mutombo can't do this, and Big Ben can't even resist one step. It is entirely fair to say that once Mason is missing, the Lakers will not be able to deal with this big shark, and the winning rate will be reduced by more than two percent.

In the opening scrum, O'Neill won again against Mutombo.

After more than 30 injuries, this dead fat man still didn't affect his athletic ability, and his body speed was really good enough.

O'Neill is quite injury-prone, missing more than 30 games per season for the past two years.

Zhang Yu didn't know how much he hoped that every time he was injured, his athleticism would drop by one point, and the shark that lost his explosiveness and bounce would definitely be much easier to deal with at that time.

Kidd started the game close to Van Exel, but his pressing was very measured, not seeking to break the ball, but forcing Van Exel to accelerate and force him to break inside.

That's the Lakers' defensive strategy, and it's the same way at the No. 2 position.

Van Exel and Jones both have strong offensive ability with the ball, and the Lakers simply forced the two of them to break through in turns, but did not give them the opportunity to pass the ball, and pinched the defensive line, the ultimate goal is to let the Clippers take the initiative to divide their inside and outside connections, and it is best to let this dead fat man not keep up with the rhythm and consume his physical strength.

Kidd is not slow before he was injured, he can completely stick to Van Exel, and prevent him from having a chance to break through and shoot easily, but doing so will definitely let him pass, which is not good for the Lakers, it is better to give him a chance to break through to the basket and disrupt the rhythm of the Clippers on the offensive end, Van Exel has no understanding of such a thing as "rhythm".

O'Neal needs the whole team to play at his pace in order to give full play to his inside attack, and the Lakers just don't let him play comfortably, preferring to let Van Elsel and Eddie Jones play comfortably.

The Lakers weren't afraid to let the Clippers know their defensive strategy today, not even the offensive strategy.

They use a "modified split tactic" on the defensive end and a "pick-and-roll offense" on the offensive end.

Now everyone knows that you have to use a pick-and-roll to beat the Clippers, because O'Neal can't prevent a pick-and-roll.

The Lakers' pick-and-roll against the Jazz would be tragic, although they have practiced this routine, but they are only at the upper level, but there is no problem with playing the Clippers.

They weren't afraid to let the Clippers know their tactics because the first and third places in the West would have to meet, at least until the division finals.

It may not be difficult for the Clippers to beat the Timberwolves in the first round, but can they break through the Jazz, who killed them three times in the regular season?

Well, anyway, Zhang Mao is more optimistic that Jazz can win.

O'Neal is called a cripple when he picks up the block, and even the Lakers' blockade is afraid of them, and when they encounter the Jazz who plays the block, they really don't know how to die.

Therefore, the Lakers can take out the method of dealing with the Clippers in the playoffs today, and it is really unnecessary to keep it.

O'Neal quickly became depressed, and he found himself struggling to get the ball on the offensive end, just like he did when he met the Lakers at the beginning of the season.

His two outside teammates will always enter the interior in the first ten seconds of the offense, and then he can see a Mutombo and a Mason next to him, and the Lakers' two interior lines surround him, and the outside teammates can't find a passing route, so they can only complete the offense by themselves, or pass to other Clippers players, otherwise they will be surrounded.

Zhang Fu also shrunk into the box on the defensive end, and his task was to make up for Lloy Ott's empty cut, this guy was also troublesome to get the ball in the box, and he had to return to the box to participate in the defense and fill the holes for his two insiders.

In this way, the Clippers' outside line will leak a lot of opportunities.

The Lakers turned a blind eye to this, because the Clippers can only shoot an average of 6.1 three-pointers per game, and the average number of shots per game is only 17.6, both of which can only rank in the middle of the league, and the same is true for three-point shooting percentage.

In this era, especially after the three-point line was restored to 7.25 meters, teams in the league no longer paid attention to the three-point shot, except for a small number of players who were accurate in three-point shots, most players had no one to defend in front of them when shooting three-pointers.

This would have been unimaginable twenty years later, when people knew that shooting three-pointers was a good deal, and that at least one of them had to be able to shoot three-pointers. And these things were incredible in the 90s, and now ninety percent of people think that shooting three-pointers is not cost-effective, and it is not a matter for outside players to shoot three-pointers, but it is considered the right choice, and shooting in hard practice is king.

Therefore, the Clippers obviously have a center who can best open up space for the outside, but they only rank in the middle of the league in the number of three-point shots, far inferior to the Lakers, who do not have a strong offensive interior line.

The first quarter of the game was a stark contrast, with the Lakers taking 8 three-point shots and the Clippers having 4, and while the 24-24 score proved that it didn't hurt to shoot that many threes, it didn't hurt to shoot that many threes, did it?

The Clippers' embarrassment is that O'Neal only made four shots in a single quarter, which is as many three-pointers as Zhang made.

Van Exel and Jones teamed up to score 15 points, and the two veterans of the Lakers actually became the protagonists, I wonder if O'Neal feels like being defended by 7 people?

But one thing is certain, the dead fat man is not lightly tired.

The two played too fast, and it didn't even work after the substitution, because Kobe Bryant and Barry were faster, and the Lakers' defensive strategy applied to the same two, O'Neal still had to turn back and forth, and he couldn't catch the ball after running.

The biggest difference between this split defense and the previous one is that this time the Lakers are letting the Clippers' outside line willingly speed up the tempo, because their breakthrough can score, and the efficiency is not too low, so why not play like this? You know, O'Neal has always had two defenders around him, and they are not sure to pass the ball, and the team has no countermeasures to deal with this kind of defense, so they can only break through and score points.
