Chapter 218: Tangled Choices
Main Quest (2) [Dominant] -
"25+5+5 data per game in the new season", status: 0%, task reward: 10,000 competition points, 2,000 reputation points (double competition points and reputation will be deducted for failure). Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Average 30+5+5 data per game in the new season", status: 0%, mission reward: 20,000 competition points, 5,000 reputation points (double competition points and reputation will be deducted for failure).

"Average 30+7+7 data per game in the new season", status: 0%, task reward: 100,000 competition points, 20,000 reputation points (double competition points and prestige will be deducted for failure), and obtain "Dominant***UFF, effect: No one can pretend to be forced in front of you now." Greatly increases the chance of love at first sight for the opposite sex with less reputation than you, and greatly reduces the chance of the same sex having less reputation than you to NTR (double Arena Points, Reputation, and 1 buff will be canceled if you fail).
This is the second main quest that Zhang Zhu got this season, from the point of view of the task requirements, this is obviously a task in terms of "personal data", and it is also the task that Zhang Fu is most sure to complete, and he is too good at brushing data.
So needless to say, he got 26 + 8 rebounds + 6 assists last season, and this season he went further, and he was still very sure of 30 + 7 + 7 data, and he must choose the highest difficulty.
Especially the "dominant" BUFF, Zhang Yi said that he is bound to win, as long as he has this BUFF, he doesn't always need to worry that his little sister will be NTR if he has too much, at least it will be of great help to him usually hook up with the little sister and prevent the little sister from empathizing and not falling in love.
The most important thing is that now he doesn't know how many competition points he has to pay for these things every year, and once he has this BUFF, he can save a lot of competition points to upgrade the system and use more competition points to do serious things.
His other main quest is the "playoff record" task, which is not supposed to be born until the playoffs, but this task is brushed out by him with the "gambling system", so the regular season has not yet started, and his playoff task has already come out.
Main Quest (1) [Comeback] ——
"Breakthrough First Round", Status: Incomplete, 10,000 Arena Points, 1,000 Fame (double Arena Points and Fame will be deducted for failure).
"Breakthrough 2nd Round", Status: Unfinished, 20,000 Arena Points, 5,000 Fame (double Arena Points and Fame will be deducted for failure).
"Breakthrough Division Finals", Status: Incomplete, 40,000 Arena Points, 10,000 Fame, Gain "Jiaolong Deshui" (achievement), Effect: Your leadership ability and personality charm are outstanding, all attributes are lower than your teammates, training enthusiasm will be slightly increased, and competitive status will be slightly improved (double Arena Points and prestige will be deducted for failure, and 1 achievement will be cancelled immediately).
"Win the championship", Status: Unfinished, 100,000 Arena Points, 20,000 Fame, "Flying Dragon" (achievement), Effect: You have taken the throne, ascended the throne, your personality charm and influence have reached the peak, your teammates' training enthusiasm will be greatly increased, and all teammates will receive a significant increase in their competitive status (double Arena Points and prestige will be deducted for failure, and 2 achievements will be cancelled immediately).
This is a task that Zhang Yu redeemed with the gambling system, in fact, he didn't dare to choose a difficult task last season.
He knew that he would not be able to win the championship in his first season, and that it would be difficult to even break through the divisional finals, so he was very clever and chose only the second difficult task, and as a result, he earned a lot of competitive points and prestige, but missed out on two achievements.
Now he has redeemed the quest with a gambling machine, and even the quest name and achievement rewards have changed, and the failure penalty has been increased.
This time, Zhang Fu still didn't dare to choose the highest difficulty directly, "Flying Dragon in the Sky" was too awesome, but he was worried that he would accidentally fall down and die, or turn into a dragon first and then become a dragon is more reliable, the so-called fish leaping dragon gate is also a Jiao, and it always feels unrealistic to climb to the sky in one step.
O'Neal must agree with this idea, he will not talk about heaven, even to make a basket!
It's hard for the fat man to find a chance to catch the ball now, and even if the Clippers player passes the ball, it basically leaves O'Neal's offensive area, and it is difficult to pose any threat to the Lakers' basket when he receives the ball.
The Lakers' tactics are not complicated, and only two of the Clippers have more than 80 in terms of "passing" ability, and the highest is actually two-way guard Brent Barry, but only 83 pass values. And the main point guard only Darrick Martin has a passing value of 81, this level must definitely be counted backwards from all point guards in the league, if not the first-to-last, I am afraid it is the second-to-last.
It's hard to break the Lakers' pressing and forward with this kind of passing ability, and if it's Kidd or Hardaway, the Lakers don't dare to play like this at all, and it can only be said that the Clippers don't have a good passer.
Zhang Mao's passing value is as high as 83, coupled with his advantages in vision and awareness, he must definitely kill all the Clippers' guards, and this is another weakness of the current Clippers team - poor point guard and lack of outside passing ability.
The Clippers' roster looks really good at first glance, but one problem is the lack of defensive gates on the wings, and secondly, the lack of passing and tempo control on the point guard, Kobe Bryant hasn't grown up yet, and these two flaws are enough for the Clippers to be targeted to death against a really strong team.
The Lakers have long recognized the Clippers' flaws, but they have to see what they can do if they don't target those two weaknesses.
As a result, the tie score in the first quarter and the similar score in the first half proved that the Clippers must have a fight against the Lakers if they solve their own shortcomings.
But today, the Clippers didn't stand much of a chance.
At the end of the third quarter, the score was 90:68, and the Clippers barely scored in the second half of the third quarter, but the Lakers took advantage of the opportunity to play a series of offensive attacks that made the Clippers players and fans desperate, and almost scored 40 points in this quarter.
Zhang tried his new offensive routine in this game, and thanks to the excellent quality of Mason and Mutombo's coverage this season, he will surely have plenty of pick-and-roll scoring opportunities this season, and Zhang, who saw two new teammates in this area a few months ago, has been practicing pick-and-rolls in virtual training since the summer.
The mid- and long-range shots he practiced in virtual training were basically pull-up jump shots after blocking, and the shooting speed was slightly slower than that of "dry pulling", but the stability was much higher.
Last season, his kind of "blind shots" was just a means of scoring when there was no excellent helper, and it was not the right way to look at the opponent and the state, because stability could not be guaranteed.
Now he has enough good helpers, the pull-up jump shot after blocking or running without the ball is much more stable, the back single after opening up the space, and the outside burst is also a more effective offensive means, of course, the three-point shot is also one of the indispensable killers, with this hand can the defender not dare to unscrupulously pull away to defend, which is much more efficient than watching the sky eat.
Zhang Mao's final stats were 34 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, he only played three quarters, and the fourth quarter of the game was reduced to garbage time early, the Clippers did not send the main players on the court, and the Lakers also replaced the full bench.
O'Neal's performance in the first half was not inferior to Zhang Mao, but after the third quarter, his data was still only 21 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, and only 4 points and 1 rebound in the third quarter.
But whether he's convinced or not, the Lakers did make O'Neal almost disappear in the third quarter, and that's a fact.
There was another guy who was not convinced after the Clippers game, and that was Kobe Bryant, who had a sense of déjà vu from elementary school.
I have to say that this thing is really talking and acting like a little kid now, and it is too different from the maturity of Zhang Zhu's first season, which can be summed up in one sentence - low emotional intelligence!
Kobe Bryant played the whole fourth quarter and scored 12 points in a single quarter, and the aging Ricky Pierce was not the young Clippers' No. 8 opponent at all, which also made Kobe Bryant unhappy that the head coach did not let him play in the third quarter. And what made people cry and laugh, after the game, he actually said what he thought in his heart.
Simply translated, it is nothing more than that he thinks that if he can go up earlier, he will definitely be able to help the Clippers turn defeat into victory, and I believe that the Clippers coach must want to scold his mother in his heart, isn't this a disguised statement that he made a mistake in employing people?
But the person who can come up with the excuse of "too close to home" to refuse to go to a team is already very tactful to say that, geniuses are so different.
In comparison, there is a guy over there who wants to be beautiful in the harem of modern society, Kobe Bryant is much more normal to compare with that handsome.
Of course, neither Zhang Yu nor Starks felt that Kobe's self-confidence was justified, and the latter, through his own personal experience, noticed that Kobe Bryant was still very tender and could not break through his defense.
Da Shuaibi knows that Kobe's passing ability is only 71, although his passing vision has reached 78, but his passing awareness is only 65, which shows that Kobe Bryant has no sense of passing at all at this stage, and his ability is not enough.
But it is undeniable that Kobe Bryant does have a spirit on the offensive end, Ricky Pierce's defensive awareness is not bad, and the Lakers' bench lineup also has good defensive ability, but Kobe Bryant can always find a breakthrough route that makes them extremely uncomfortable, which shows that this guy has an innate talent for "defensive reading" and "spatial perception", and reacts quickly, can make changes according to the opponent's position at any time, and can always take a quick shot, which proves that his "nervous response" and "dynamic vision" are excellent, These talents add up to what is called spirituality, and it is the talent to become a superstar.
Almost all of the NBA's superstars have one thing in common, that is, they can move around the crowd without conceding the ball, and they seem to be surrounded by opponents, but they always find a way to break out. And if you want to do this, you must have the above four abilities, in addition to having enough good ball sense and athleticism, otherwise even if you find a way out and space, but you lose the ball, or the speed is not fast enough, it is too late to break through, it is still wild.
Finley is poor in ball sense and reading defensively; Van Exel, on the other hand, lacks awareness and is slightly less athletic; Jones of the Clippers also has many deficiencies in consciousness, and no matter how good his athleticism is, it is useless. Not to mention athleticism, not only speed, agility and jumping, but also confrontation ability, which Jones is also not good at.
There are a lot of quasi-All-Stars and All-Stars in the NBA, but there are only a handful of superstars, and if you really want to become a real superstar, you can't even have a flaw, the conditions are too harsh, and the talent at the level of consciousness is generally difficult to see, and it must be tested by high-intensity games and time.
O'Neal Jr. also showed great talent in high school, but looking at his poor performance in the NBA, and his performance in the fourth quarter as the polar opposite of Kobe, who would dare to say that he has the potential to become a star?
The self-confidence of the high school student selected by the Lakers has been hit by tons, and today he was almost beaten to tears, and then he couldn't even stand Zhang Mao, and felt that it was better not to let this little guy play again this year, let him train his body and technique to almost the same first, and then play on the court.
In the fourth quarter, O'Neal Jr. and Kobe Bryant were replaced by independent coaches, but in the face of the fierce Dean Garnett, O'Neal Jr. couldn't even stand on his feet, and got 3 fouls and 3 turnovers in only one quarter, and finally only 1 rebound, 3 fouls and 3 turnovers were recorded.
This is the data that O'Neal Jr. handed over in the whole quarter, compared to Kobe, who performed well in the fourth quarter, the two rookies who are also high school students are really one day and one place.
Zhang Zhu didn't think he could blame O'Neal Jr. this time, that Dean Garnett really didn't look like a base-salary player, especially in rebounding and defense, he was simply a low-profile version of Mutombo, but his degree of play was much better than Mason's.
This is very similar to the later "Birdman" Anderson, if you really want to say how good he is, it is not necessarily, there are a lot of talented interior players in the NBA, but he is just playing hard, so he can grab rebounds and complete defense on many more capable players.
This kind of young guy can play so hard, eighty percent of them are forced by life, or have family responsibilities, and have a belief that they must get a contract, so they train hard off the field, work hard with opponents on the field, and every ball will take out the strength to fight with you, and they are not afraid of injury at all, let alone pain.
Zhang Yi has a headache when he encounters this kind of person, and little O'Neill encounters this kind of desperate guy, and he can only say that his luck is too bad.
Many Lakers fans actually ran outside the arena after the game to show off their might, and the Clippers fans, who were already in an absolutely vulnerable position, were completely unable to resist this extremely ungraceful and unqualified performance after losing.
"Los Angeles Times" did a survey before the start of the preseason, and the support rate of the Lakers in Los Angeles is more than 9 percent, which means that at most only one out of every ten basketball fans is a Clippers fan, and more than 9 are Lakers fans.
Zhang Qi didn't say anything cool after the game, because he felt that with this kind of one-sided support, the effect of invisible pretending would be better, and then satirizing the opponent at this moment would seem to be unqualified, and if he would be disgusted by people who sympathize with the weak, it would be equivalent to changing direction to send fans to the opponent.
Van Exel was a villain, mocking the Clippers after the game that they were not qualified to be compared with the Lakers, and the "confrontation history" between the two teams was only more than ten years, and the real feud could be traced back to the Clippers after they moved to Los Angeles in 1984.
Therefore, the Clippers hyped up the remarks of "old enemies", "derby", and "sworn enemies" this year, all of which were gold on their faces and forcibly kidnapped the Lakers to gain popularity, which is very unstylish behavior, in fact, the Lakers did not regard the Clippers as any old enemies at all, it was completely their wishful thinking.
These words are also what Zhang Fu wants to say, but it is obviously not good to say it from his mouth, after his wrist is bigger, he really can't be open-mouthed anymore, and Zhang Fu now has a lot of things that he can't say casually.
Van Exel's don't know if it's because as his skills mature, he has also matured a little, if he deliberately said something for Zhang Mao, then he is really qualified to stay with the Lakers as a third or fourth leader.
Now Zhang Qi really needs such a big mouth to help him say everything that offends people, because he can't be careless anymore, and he needs to have mud legs to help him go out and make trouble.
However, Van Exel's words are not wrong, the two teams have met a total of 89 times in history, the Clippers have a 22-67 record, and the longest time against the Lakers is 16 consecutive defeats, and it is indeed not qualified to be called the Lakers' old enemy, one O'Neal cannot help the Clippers reflexively, and at least two superstars are needed for the Clippers to compete with the Lakers.
After the Lakers defeated the old powerhouse Knicks and the Clippers in the limelight this summer, ESPN quickly moved them up one spot in the power rankings, surpassing the supersonics, who had little action in the summer, and only slightly behind the Bulls.
In the record simulation, ESPN and most sports media predict that the Lakers can get 62+ wins in the new season, and the Los Angeles Times predicts that the Lakers can get 70 wins, but this high-profile prediction has not been ridiculed much except by the Chicago media, because this is also a possible scenario, and the Lakers look really strong this year.
Naturally, before the start of the regular season, the system issued a regular season record task to Zhang Fu-
Main Quest (3) [Purple Gold Dynasty] -
"Break 62 Wins", Status: Unfinished, 20,000 Arena Points, 1,000 Fame (double Arena Points and Fame will be deducted for failure).
"Break 65 Wins", Status: Unfinished, 40,000 Arena Points, 2,000 Fame (double Arena Points and Fame will be deducted for failure).
"Break 68 Wins", Status: Incomplete, 60,000 Arena Points, 5,000 Fame (double Arena Points and Fame will be deducted for failure).
"Break through 70 wins", status: incomplete, reward 100,000 competition points, 20,000 reputation, "Purple Huaihuang" (star card), effect: Wearing purple or gold clothing can increase the competitive status, increase the favorability of the opposite sex, 419 chance is greatly increased, and the probability of being NTR greatly reduced (double competition points and prestige will be deducted for failure, and a star card will be canceled immediately).
The effect of this [star card] also made Zhang Fu unbearable to give up, but he had no confidence in 70 wins.
Not to mention him, even if the Bulls players are allowed to play again, it will be difficult for them to get 70+ wins again. Last season's Bulls had many victories that were won by luck, so Zhang Zhen really didn't have the confidence to get 70+ wins, and although the reward for the highest difficulty was tempting, the punishment for failure was not ordinarily miserable.
Just kidding, how can he have 200,000 competition points to lose? And he now has a [big star] star card, and losing it will also make his heart bleed!
[Big Star]: Full status during the All-Star Weekend, greatly increasing stamina, recovery speed, snap rate (female only), immune NTR (male only), immune media tracking.
This card is very important for him, allowing him to easily hook up with the little sister during the All-Star Weekend, such as Miss Nicole, which has always been difficult to get, but if he starts during the All-Star period this season, I believe it will be much easier.
Well, that's what he planned, during this year's All-Star period, he was going to get rid of Miss Nicole, and he had to do something to her.
But if he loses this card, he won't be able to carry the whole court during next year's All-Star Weekend.
"Fortunately, I still have a few days to think about it, and I just need to decide the difficulty of this task before the regular season officially starts."
Zhang Yu went home and glanced at the calendar, this year's regular season will not officially start until November 1st, he still has a few days to consider, think about whether to choose the third difficulty, or fight the highest difficulty, very tangled!
