One Year Left to Play

Task Objective: Grant Hill.

Goal 1: Zhang Hao must complete at least 2 blocks against Grant Hill in the upcoming game against the Pistons.

Goal 2: In the upcoming game against the Pistons, Zhang Hao’s total score + rebounds + assists must surpass Grant Hill’s.

Goal 3: Win the game.

Reward: 1. Zhang Hao will be rewarded with as many days of lifespan as his total score + rebounds + assists exceeds Grant Hill’s. 2. Bronze Medal: Strongest First Step.

"Strongest First Step (Bronze): When the player wearing it is breaking through from outside the three-point line, they will start with the fastest speed. If the opponent’s strength is not equal to that of the player wearing it, and if the opposing player is not able to position themselves on the player’s path, it will be difficult to affect the player’s starting speed. Note: Suitable for players whose burst speed is not exceptional."

...

The game is about to start, and the Lakers and Pistons’ starting lineups are on the court.

The Lakers sent out Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Zhang Hao, Barkley, and O’Neal.

The Pistons sent out Lynch Hunt, Joe Dumars, Grant Hill, Edith Soper, and Ratliff.

Grant Hill and Dumars looked at the lineup opposite them... Lakers! That’s familiar.

In the 80s, there were three bug-level teams: the Lakers, Celtics, and Pistons.

All three teams were full of stars. Actually, the Lakers were considered better. The Celtics’ lineup at that time was the real bug, with Bill Walton and Kevin McHale playing as substitutes.

Even though it was due to tactical needs, when these two played as substitutes, the Celtics’ starting lineup was still a star combination.

As Zhang Hao got on the court, he checked the newly triggered task again, saw the reward, and the "note" at the end... This is simply insulting! It even specially noted that this is suitable for players whose burst speed is not exceptional.

To this, Zhang Hao responded—System, feel free to humiliate me!

A hard bonus badge!

Not like the King of Cross Step, which can’t be used yet and requires learning the cross step shift first. This doesn’t require any prerequisite conditions, it’s just a bonus to physical fitness, a must-have!

Although their Lakers are just a paper tiger, at least they look intimidating.

This is also an advantage, which must be utilized well.

Looking at the serious expressions of the opponent, Zhang Hao knew that the opposite side must be intimidated by their lineup!

Confident as ever, Zhang Hao looked at his own teammates, and felt they were intimidating, one after another...

in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and tossed the ball into the air, O’Neal quickly leaped in, overpowering Ratliff to win the jump ball, Lakers’ first attack!

Kenny Anderson pushed the ball to the frontcourt, first passing it to O’Neal.

O’Neal positioned himself in the low post against Ratliff, stabilized, then suddenly made a move and bumped, directly knocking Ratliff back into the restricted area, turned around, and scored with a two-handed slam!

Ferocious!

This scene, even Joe Dumars, who had seen it all and had been an NBA Finals MVP, felt was brutal.

In his career, besides O’Neal, he hadn’t seen any other player play like this.

For now, no other teams know the true intentions of O’Neal, and the Lakers currently average 110.3 points per game, still ranked first in the league, the only team averaging over 110 points per game, with the second-ranked Bulls at only 106.2 points.

Seeing O’Neal’s fierce attack, thinking about the Lakers’ league-leading average scoring, the Pistons players didn’t dare to relax even a bit, after Lynch Hunt pushed the ball to the front court, he adhered strictly to the tactic, passing the ball to Grant Hill.

At this time, a player from the Lakers was inwardly cussing, "I屮艸芔茻," but had to maintain a calm expression, not to show weakness.

That player was Zhang Hao.

Kenny Anderson went to guard Lynch Hunt’s corner three-pointer, which was fine.

But Doug Christie immediately followed the running Joe Dumars, Zhang Hao was still pondering whom to guard when he realized he was left with only Grant Hill!

Where are the fearless and tenacious Lakers Wolves they promised?

For real, when faced with Grant Hill, did they really remove the "U" from "Doug?"

Zhang Hao stiffly held his ground at the top of the arc. What he initially planned was to find a chance to stealthily block Grant Hill twice, rely on his teammates for defense, score himself, and strive to win the game—consecutive victories and medals, the choice for a man is simple.

But unexpectedly, it turned into a one-on-one face-off!

Grant Hill dribbled the ball, waiting for his teammates to move to the positions he wanted, then started a continuous, continuous dribble!

The dribbling amplitude was very large, seemingly ready to break through at any moment.

This dribbling style is often used by two people Zhang Hao has defended, one named Tim Hardaway, the other Allen Iverson. Their Lakers also have a person who loves to use it, named Kenny Anderson.

However, these three guys all claimed to be members of the "183 Club".

Grant Hill is 20 cm taller than them!

However, at this moment, Grant Hill had a slight surprise, Zhang Hao didn’t fall for the fake!

No choice, as Grant Hill pulled the ball to the right side, he didn’t pull back, accelerating to break through!

Zhang Hao lagged a step moving to the left, unable to keep up, having only to chase Grant Hill from behind, stretching out his hand to try and block Grant Hill’s sudden stop and jump shot, attempting to force Grant Hill into the basket.
