Chapter 262: The Effect of High Technology
Mutombo's final stats when he left the court were 41 points, 16 rebounds and 4 blocks, and Zhang Mao, the new "scoring champion", only had 20 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists, and he couldn't even complete the triple-double task.
But at such a time, where would anyone pay attention to such a thing?
Who can not see that the entire Lakers team is completing Mutombo today, and there is no need to discuss the rest of the data.
Let's take a look at the detailed data first, when have you seen Mutombo take 31 shots in the whole game?
And with so many shots, only 15 goals were scored in the end, and a 48% shooting rate is not high at all for a center, it can even be considered low.
"I'm going to thank my teammates, but I won't make more than 20 shots!"
Mutombo's words after the game comforted the Lakers players, and the uncle also knew that his offense was really like that, such a good opportunity to score 41 points, and the shooting rate was less than 50%, if it was replaced by Mason, I am afraid that I would be able to brush 50+ today.
Therefore, if you have the opportunity to be willful once in this life, you should be content, and continue to devote your energy to defense in the future, and strive to win the DPOY again, which is the right way for Mutombo.
'I think it's a deserved honour for Deacon Bey, he's been defending in the box all season and we can see what he's doing and now we have the opportunity and we should do something for him.' Zhang Mao's words after the game don't know if he was praising Mutombo, "Some people say that we are humiliating the sun by playing like this, then I can only say that these people are too sensitive." ”
Zhang Wei wanted to say in his heart: "You have lost everything, where is the qualification to speak, and there is no qualification to accuse the winner of what way?" ”
Of course, now he won't run to bring such a big hatred, as soon as this kind of thing is said, he will definitely make headlines the next day, but before he retires, I'm afraid he will have a feud with the Suns, and there is no need to offend people for a lifetime.
In fact, the Suns didn't have that much to say after the loss, and these people who criticized the Lakers for humiliating their opponents were the media and fans, and many of them were not fans of these two teams at all, who knows where they came from?
Kevin Johnson risked injury today, has been non-stop attacking the Lakers restricted area, although he scored 30 points and 9 assists, but he also had as many as 9 turnovers, just by being hatted, there were five in this game, and almost won an embarrassing alternative triple-double.
Kidd has been taking a semi-laissez-faire approach to him, relying on his interior teammates to complete the coordinated defense.
This is the most suitable way to defend Kevin Johnson, but it is inevitable that people will complain that he can't prevent the opponent's breakaway, and every time his teammates come to make up for him.
Kidd didn't care so much, he also had 16 points and 11 assists today, which is already remarkable in terms of statistics, except for a slightly lower shooting percentage, he has no problems with defense and organization, and also limits the opponent's only threat point very well, contributing far more to the team than stats.
Kevin Johnson's nine turnovers are Kidd's credit, almost negating his contribution to the Suns, and at least half of the credit goes to Kidd.
In general, Lakers fans are very satisfied with today's game, and the only dissatisfaction may be head coach Harris, because it is not his arrangement to help Mutombo score points, it is completely a decision made by the players themselves, and he is certainly not a coach in his heart.
Even if he has a share of the honor of winning, he is always ignored by the players, and he will feel unhappy with any coach.
In the next game, you can't play like this again!
Harris reminded the players more tactfully after the game, meaning: You don't always treat me like this as a transparent person, I also have to be self-respecting, right?
Zhang Qi has indeed matured, and after he found out that the head coach was dissatisfied, he immediately stopped the discussion with his teammates, no longer mentioned this game, and did not let his teammates mention it again. He's going to get the page over the page, and in the next game, they'll have to play exactly as the coach tells them to do, so that Harris' dignity can be a little better.
But after the game, he still has a big problem to solve, which is how to properly arrange the order of 28?
This pair of lilies, who get along well, can be regarded as his trick to reduce the burden of 28, and the "interstellar card" is already a blatant cheat.
But even so, he still has to face the difficulty of delisting?
This problem can't really be solved for the time being.,I'm afraid only if you can do the doppelganger.,Or grow a few more 28 on the body to be free of troubles.,It's a pity that the system doesn't provide such a buggy service.。
"So, the second one to reach the full level must be an intelligent dialogue system, without this thing to help me coax the young lady, it's not easy to deal with just so many brands, no matter how fast 28 recovers, he can't handle more than a dozen tasks at the same time."
After upgrading the "Intelligent Dialogue System" to level 5, Zhang Fu can temporarily relieve his troubles.
The level 5 "intelligent dialogue system" can not only accurately see through the thoughts of the young ladies, but also use the automatic reply function for the young ladies, which is too crucial!
For example, now, he has adjusted all the harems he wants, except for Miss Nicole and Miss Penelope, to an automatic response state.
Now he doesn't even have to call in person, each group of lilies can receive calls at the same time, and the system will automatically help him coax the young lady, even if he chats for a few hours on the phone, or types and chats for hours to prove his innocence, it is no longer a problem.
As long as Zhang Qi keeps interacting with the young ladies, they will naturally not think that Zhang Qian is messing around with other young ladies, and his excuses will be easily accepted.
Just imagine, when your boyfriend is still chatting with you on the phone in the middle of the night, or sitting in front of the computer and chatting with you, do you still feel ashamed that he is in another bed with other young ladies?
If you don't believe this, then add some more actions, such as through the voice chat that ICQ is about to open, or cook a dish together on the phone, or even read a book or movie together, anyway, you are not afraid of overspending on phone bills and Internet bills, so you should always believe that the koala baby is not fooling around outside, right?
Zhang Wei commented on this system in one word - "high-tech"!
It is said that after ICQ launches the video function in the future, this system can even simulate the image, and there will be absolutely no flaws, so that it can prove the innocence of the koala baby.
Two hours later, when Zhang Zhu returned home, there should be more than 20 young ladies, including Oriental beauties in Asia, who would all chat and interact with Zhang Zhu in front of the computer, they didn't know that Zhang Fu's real body was hooking up with Miss Nicole with Penelope at the moment, and if necessary, he even decided to let his little spy hold down Miss Nicole's hands.
Today, he koala baby, must take down this Australian goddess!
Can't wait any longer, no matter how beautiful the young lady is, she has a shelf life, the goddess is thirty years old, last year's appearance was still 94, and this year it has dropped to 93, and in a few years, I am afraid that I will have to take an injection of hyaluronic acid to maintain my appearance above 90.
"Spending money is always faster than making money, and you have to continue to earn competitive points in the future!"
It's not that Zhang Yu has no way to reduce the aging speed of his young ladies, but he only has this kind of card after the store is upgraded to level 5, which is the upgrade cost of a full 300,000 competition points, and after he upgraded the "training system" and "intelligent dialogue system" to level 5, his savings are only more than 30,000 points in a blink of an eye, and he has to continue to save money.
However, there is no rush in this matter, you can take your time.
Miss Nicole is already the oldest in his harem, but she can hold out for another three or five years, and with this time, he is enough to upgrade the store to full level, so he will no longer limit himself by rushing to earn skill points.
Okay, let's get down to business.
The excitement of this night is enough to write 10,000 words, but it can only be ...... in XXXX XXXX…… This is equivalent to X overnight, or it is better to omit it.
The next day, Mutombo unexpectedly made headlines, and O'Neill naturally became the target of ridicule from countless people, and his 48 points became a tool to be ridiculed in a blink of an eye.
The Lakers beat the Suns at home, and the other three matchups also had results.
The Rockets' vs. SuperSonics battle is the first series that the Lakers are most concerned about at this stage, as the winner of these two teams will be their opponents in the next round.
Of course, the Lakers prefer to face the SuperSonics, not just to take revenge, but this year their lineup is very restrained against this old rival, and the record of three wins in four games in the regular season is enough for them to have enough confidence to complete revenge.
They also played the Rockets 3-1 in the regular season, but it was a regular season game where veterans like to play dead, and no one knows what the Big Three will do in the playoffs.
In short, there is too much uncertainty about playing the Rockets, and if the interior line is blown up by Olajuwon and Barkley together, there will be many more variables for them to win.
The division semifinals against the SuperSonics are different, and their two cores, one inside and one outside, can be limited by the Lakers, or even restrained, so that there are more than a little less variables.
Unfortunately, their hope may not come true, at least in the first game, the Rockets won the opponent without danger, they led the superSonics by as many as 25 points in the first three quarters, it can be said that they crushed all the way.
The Rockets didn't relax until the fourth quarter, which allowed the Supersonics to pull back 15 points in the final quarter, but ultimately they were powerless.
In the East, the Heat nearly crushed the Magic with a 35-point victory, which was the most disparaging game of the series.
O'Neal finally got a piece of news that made him laugh after being angered by the Lakers!
This is indeed good news for him, especially since Hardaway's performance in the game is sluggish, and he is clearly embarrassed to be alone, how can this not make him gloat?
The final game was a game between the Detroit Pistons and the Charlotte Hornets, and a 20-point defeat made Grant Hill once again ridiculed by some fans for getting similar stats to Zhang and getting a big loss.
Zhang Yu felt that it was not good for fans to pull hatred for him like this, the Pistons did not lose to Hill, and this team has no other player who can put on the table except Hill. After Larry Hughes pulled away last year, the Pistons did not fill the vacancy after Hughes left, in fact, the strength of this team did not rise but fell compared to last season, and the excellent regular season record was thanks to Hill's ability to lead the team, but in the playoffs, the "single-core" lineup was too passive.
Let's put it this way, Zhang Wei thinks in his heart that Hill is not inferior to himself in other aspects except for his athletic talent and scoring ability.
Now that he is in a huge position with himself, the strength of his teammates should be the main factor.
Zhang sometimes secretly wondered if the Clippers could get Hill, then he wouldn't be sure to beat this team again.
A player like Hill is best suited to form a duo with stars who are scoring prowess, and the compatibility will be extraordinarily high, especially with players like O'Neal, Iverson, or players who need to feed a lot of ball, or have a selfish style of play, and it is likely that magical chemistry will occur.
But that's not the season ahead, the second day of the playoffs is over, and except for the Pistons, who lost their home court, none of the other teams have overturned in their own chassis.
Western Conference - Lakers (1) VS (0) Suns; Jazz (1) VS (0) Timberwolves; Clippers (1) VS (0) Trail Blazers; Rocket (1) VS (0) Supersonic.
Eastern Conference – Bulls (1) VS (0) Bullets; Heat (1) VS (0) Magic; Knicks (1) VS (0) Hawks; Pistons (0) VS (1) Wasp.
The next day, Zhang Qi wore a satisfied smile all day long, the kind that was particularly pleasant.
This time he was too lazy to look at the yellow calendar, if it weren't for Miss Julie and Miss Gwyneth urging him so much, and pinching his fingers, he wouldn't have been replenishing for almost a week, and tonight he actually wanted to stay by Miss Nicole's side and write tens of thousands of words more.
"I think he'll be able to hold on to his knee for one more time, so if you don't believe me, make a bet?"
"Bet on what?"
"Dollars?"
"Not good, why don't you bet on not shaving for a month?"
“…………”
After the first game, the two teams only had one day to rest, and the Lakers players began to bet on their opponents.
Zhang Yu saw Mutombo taking ice cubes to maintain his knees in the training tube, and naturally thought of Kevin Johnson, who worked harder than Uncle Mu yesterday.
He didn't feel any discomfort of his own, neither Kidd nor Finley needed ice therapy, and a group of youngsters were alive and full of energy on the second day of the competition.
But Mutombo and Mason are very quiet today, they need to take care of their knees and ankles, although they don't really feel uncomfortable, but at this age they must pay attention to maintenance, just like a car that has been driving for almost ten years, even if the car is in very good condition, as long as they don't pay attention to maintenance, it will soon have problems.
Mutombo and Mason, who are in good health, need to pay extra attention to maintenance, and Kevin Johnson, who has suffered two major injuries, will definitely be uncomfortable, right? Not to mention the long-term illness Manning, will they not be able to hold out in the second game and follow the hapless Cebaros?
The Lakers players are a little gloating, they think that at this moment in the Suns' training hall, there should be a lot of mourning, right?
But they really guessed it right, although it was not as exaggerated as the lamentation, but the atmosphere of the Suns was indeed very depressing.
Kevin Johnson's knee was hard after the game, and the intensity of the playoffs was more than his joints could handle, and he was prone to re-injury, but he didn't even have a chance if he didn't work hard.
The Suns' coaching staff didn't dare to schedule any more training sessions for the players today, and the veterans on the team need to hurry up and rest.
However, Kevin Johnson, who has been tired for a season, still feels that his knee is getting more and more uncomfortable.
He knew that there must be stagnant water, but although it would be too cool for two days after pumping the stagnant water, he couldn't continue to play and train, otherwise the backlash would be more serious after three days, which was the entanglement of several veterans of the Suns.
After pumping the stagnant water, basketball players generally plan to slowly adjust their damaged joints through rest, physiotherapy, etc., or prepare for surgery. If you go to play right after pumping the stagnant water, unless it's a championship match, it's definitely worth the loss.
So, neither Kevin Johnson nor Manning did that, they had to cultivate in a conservative way, and then hope that tomorrow there will be a miracle, maybe God will let them have a good competitive state.
But they don't know that God has too many things to do, and basketball is old!
After a day of rest, the second match between the two teams is about to begin......
"The bull won!"
"Jazz double kill timberwolves!"
"The Clippers beat the Trail Blazers!"
"The Knicks are about to sweep the Hawks!"
Zhang Yu flipped through today's newspaper in the locker room, which was full of yesterday's game reports, which were basically within his expectations.
It's no surprise that the Bulls, Jazz and Knicks can get 2:0, their advantage is too great, and this year's strong teams are really strong, and weak teams are really weak.
Zhang Wei paid a little attention to the fact that the Clippers also killed the Trail Blazers in the second game, and O'Neal once again cut 43 points and 12 rebounds of luxury data, this news made Zhang Qi a little surprised, that dead fat man is so 6?
O'Neal almost scored 50 points in the first game before being slapped in the face by an alternative game he directed.
He thought that this slap should be enough for O'Neal, but he didn't expect that the goods would become more and more courageous, and lead the team to win with a high score of 40+ in two consecutive games, or in the playoffs.
Now he can't do tricks to disgust the other party anymore, and he has to get a high score-for-tat, otherwise he will be slapped in the face by O'Neal!
However, as long as he thinks of the 10,000 words last night, Zhang Mao is still full of smiles.
At the pre-match press conference, he was reluctant to talk about the game, not because he couldn't show any tricks, but because he didn't have any special tactics at all.
The Phoenix people are now meat on the chopping block, and they only need to continue to stab at a few key points, and there is no need to make any conspiracy redundant.
After the first game of the Suns, several of the main players were not in good shape, but there were no other injuries other than Cebaros, at least not to the point where a second man could not play, so both teams had very neat lineups today.
The Lakers' starters didn't move, and the Suns replaced the season-reimbursed Cebaros with Horry, and the rest was unchanged.
In today's game, the Lakers have a reason to win.
The other strong teams have won, except for the Pistons, no one has lost their home court until now, this is a playoff game where there are no dark horses for the time being, and they must not allow themselves to roll over.
Lakers players know the consequences of a rollover, as a team with 74 wins in the regular season, if you lose to a team ranked eighth, you have to be laughed to death by neutral fans, especially Clippers fans, after the game!
Zhang Zhu's desire to attack today is very high, yesterday he gave Harris face, and today's latter's tactic is to let him strengthen the attack, this should be an instruction that Zhang Zhu will not change without authorization, this silver fox is very cunning.
At the beginning of the first quarter, Zhang gave the Suns a 9-0 dismissal and single-handedly scored the team's first 7 points.
The Suns were much slower to get into shape, with Kevin Johnson getting a big hat from Mutombo on his first breakaway, and then there was no sound.
Phoenix fans must have been embarrassed that the core of the team was fucked, and then no one stepped up again, and it wasn't until 7 minutes and 26 seconds left in the first quarter that the Suns received a wonderful pass from Cassel by Manning, scored a layup, and hit the team's first shot!
With a score of 11:2, the Suns went almost five minutes to get the first point, but the Lakers were unstoppable, and after Zhang scored 7 points in a row, Kidd and Mason also gained.
The Suns were in a predicament from the beginning, Kevin Johnson's breakthrough was in trouble, Mutombo, who could concentrate on defense today, did not give the Suns a chance to score on the outside, and Zhang Mao strengthened the breakthrough, after the Suns finally scored two points, Koala Baby's three consecutive breakthroughs failed to score, but stood on the free throw line 6 times, and by the way, Manning was beaten into 2 fouls.
"Is this going back to yesterday's rhythm again?"
Less than a minute before Manning was replaced, Finley received a pass from Zhang and knocked Williams down.
Well, now the Suns' starting interior line has once again returned home.
Neutral fans have said: "Brutal"!
The first quarter is not over yet, and the Suns look like they are already going to play GG, otherwise the Lakers' next step should be to abuse the spring.
In the last three minutes of the quarter, Zhang scored a three-pointer from 25 feet to help the Lakers lead the Suns by 15 points at 31:16, and it seems that the Lakers are indeed not far from the abuse spring.
The Suns were the only one who played the No. 2 spot today, but after he scored four straight points, the Lakers pulled the gap away - Starks returned a three-pointer first, and Mutombo grabbed a frontcourt rebound, and the margin quickly rushed to 20 points......
In the last six seconds of the first quarter, Starks missed a three-point shot, this time it was Ben Wallace who grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt, and a close-range one-handed dunk rewrote the score to 40-22, and the Suns trailed the Lakers by a full 18 points in the first quarter.
Now the Suns really can't play, the Lakers grabbed 5 frontcourt rebounds in the first quarter alone, even if the Suns didn't suffer a foul crisis, their main interior protection for rebounds is not very good, after the two starters were beaten, they almost lost the ability to protect rebounds.
The head coach of the Suns has been completely confused, in addition to the rebounds and offense in the frontcourt, their defense is also completely unable to prevent Zhang Mao.
This guy only played more than 8 minutes in the first quarter, but he has already made 10 free throws, which means that the Suns might as well surrender early and save themselves from being slaughtered by the Lakers like magic!
