He’s curious, just what is Zhang Hao thinking.
The main thing is, he really can’t understand why Zhang Hao is worried after achieving more than 40 points in the rookie season for the 8th ti, averaging 27 points, and the team getting 60 wins. This personal performance and team achievent can completely be compared to Larry Bird’s rookie season regular-season performance. What’s there to be lancholic about?
...
What kind of words should be used to describe Zhang Hao’s current mood?
I guess it’s like today’s slight drizzle—oh, it’s raining, ah, those are my tears.
Magician holds a al box and cos to Zhang Hao, who is fighting the bland boiled chicken breast, and asks, "This stuff is not tasty, want a slice of pizza?"
Zhang Hao looks at the pizza box opened by Magician... and decisively nods.
Turning grief and indignation into appetite!
"Thank you," Zhang Hao puts on Gloves and grabs a slice, and then asks, "Mr. Johnson, do you have sothing to discuss?"
"Nothing important," Magician also puts on Gloves and takes a slice, bites into it, chews for a while, swallows, and says, "We are all curious, you seem to have sothing on your mind today?"
We? Zhang Hao just wants to ask, "Who’s ’we’?"
But the other party is not a reporter, so there’s no need to retort. After thinking, it might be nice to vent so anger to soone—it’s all Logo Man’s fault! Lost a high school prodigy!
After organizing his words, Zhang Hao asks, "I initially thought we would get a super-talented teammate next year, but he’s definitely not coming now."
A super-talented player originally had a chance to co to our team? Who? Magician brainstorms a bit, but truly can’t think of any talented free agents this sumr likely to join their Lakers.
The main point is that this adjective cos from Zhang Hao’s mouth, which makes it particularly distinct.
And nowadays, it’s still uncommon for a core player of a team to voluntarily switch teams; as for trading, the Lakers have absolutely no capital to trade for a player that Zhang Hao can call "super-talented," unless they trade Zhang Hao.
If it’s hard to figure out who, just forget guessing, since the other party seems reluctant to reveal who it is, just directly ask: "Super-talented? As good as you?"
"Uh... that depends on how you compare." This question, Zhang Hao really hasn’t thought about it, vaguely responding.
"What type of player is he? Inside or outside? What’s his style of play?"
"Outside, to be precise, a scoring shooter-type who prioritizes shooting..."
"Can he score higher than you?"
"Not possible, at least not initially, totally impossible." On this point, Zhang Hao is truly confident.
"Then it’s too normal if he doesn’t co, coming to compete with you for shots would be challenging; if he cos, then it’s strange.
You are more peculiar, shouldn’t you be hoping for a teammate with strong inside presence or a more comprehensive wing player?" Magician finds he truly doesn’t understand his rookie’s thought process!
Just this?
Feeling lancholic over this kind of thing?
Even though what Magician thinks and what Zhang Hao ans are two different matters.
But the logic actually holds!
If, three years later, the ultimate second-in-command Little Flying Hero that could be part of the second-team defense cos to partner up, that would certainly be no problem, and then co ’O’, and the trio might create an unbeatable synergy with checks and balances.
But the current ’K’...
Cald down, Zhang Hao feels that a player like that, with such talent, if they hone their skills in NCAA and play more gas against adults before entering the NBA...
"’K’ is gone, ’O’ shouldn’t surely be blundered,
is the Remy Martin Duo truly happening?"
"Wait, I seem to have forgotten sothing... damn! I seem to have offended ’O’ very badly!"
...
...
By afternoon, teammates notice Zhang Hao exuding a different aura, those eyes—straightforward and unstoppable?
Actually, it’s from reaching a reckless determination.
What else can be done?
Whether they co or not!
Zhang Hao is initially disbelieving, that with his impressive rookie season averaging 27 points as a superstar, he could attract no players to join?
First, there must be self-confidence!
Start by fighting for first place in the West!
Currently, SuperSonics are 61 wins and 17 losses, and in terms of losses, their Lakers also have 17 losses, sa as SuperSonics, and the Spurs over there are negligible due to David Robinson’s ankle injury during training...
Speaking of it, Spurs charged towards first place in the West, which was already quite surprising, just like how midway through the season the Lakers achieved a 17-ga winning streak, nobody expected a Spurs originally on par with the Utah Jazz’s record level to suddenly achieve a 17-ga winning streak and charge towards first place in the West.
Zhang Hao checked in the team’s record room, Supersonic’s record in the Central Conference is 16 wins and 6 losses, with a win rate of seventy-two percent, while their Lakers’ record in Pacific Conference is 16 wins and 5 losses, with a win rate of seventy-six percent.
"Two goals, one is to win all of the last 5 gas... at least before Supersonics loses any of their last 4 gas, we can’t lose.
Mainly the upcoming gas against Phoenix Suns and Kings can’t be lost!"
Zhang Hao clearly organizes the direction for them to fight for first place in the West.
Even though currently trailing SuperSonics by 0.5 gas, but having the sa number of losses and a better Conference record, they’re currently actually in an advantageous stage!
...
At 6:40 PM, after warming up, Zhang Hao and his teammates enter the court together.
Phoenix Suns, Charles Barkley!
At the end of this season, what choice will Barkley make? Zhang Hao is intrigued.
Back in ’94 when Barkley renewed with the Phoenix Suns, he played an innovative trick—the player execution clause, which is the player option, extending into a team execution clause which is the team option, allowing either the team or player to have the power to opt-in beyond the contract term.
