One Year Left to Play

"I actually feel a bit regretful not seeing the Pistons stronger, am I crazy..."

Zhang Hao shook his head and ran to the front court.

Kenny Anderson came to the front court and saw O’Neal asking for the ball in the low post.

So touching!

O’Neal asked for the ball for the third time this quarter! But something seems a bit off.

Kenny Anderson also noticed it. O’Neal seems to be teaching Zhang Hao how to play during the game...

Teaching in the game... O’Neal teaching + Zhang Hao learning = no problem.

The problem is, Zhang Hao learning from O’Neal?

Their weight difference must be more than 30 kilograms, right? O’Neal has been complaining these days about gaining a few pounds.

With this odd situation, Kenny Anderson passed the ball immediately after O’Neal signaled with his position.

Zhang Hao is very talented, O’Neal felt pleased, and this time he prepared to show off an impressive move!

O’Neal received the ball, leaned against Ratliff, turned right, lowest point, best path to avoid a double team.

After one step into the three-second zone, O’Neal’s right shoulder pressed against Ratliff, with his heel on the left sideline of the three-second zone, he jumped, side-facing to reduce the frontal contact with Ratliff... almost unobstructed, jumping from the edge of the three-second zone and slamming the ball into the basket!

Accompanied by the gasps of the sideline fans and the lament of the basket, O’Neal landed and nodded towards Zhang Hao before quickly retreating to defense.

Zhang Hao also retreated immediately, and wondered—was O’Neal asking whether I learned the move?

If it weren’t for the obvious physique and overly handsome face, he’d really want to leave the arena immediately, go to a convenience store outside, and buy a pack of Hongtashan to alleviate his sorrow...

Ignoring this excessive teaching guidance, just the technical details of O’Neal’s first baseline turn, Zhang Hao felt he needed to practice well.

As for turning, jamming the opponent, and jumping from the three-second zone edge for a dunk, that move... let’s discuss it later.

Once is okay, but again and again, the Pistons’ displeasure began to surface.

O’Neal is actually teaching Zhang Hao how to play during the game!

The weirdness of this matter doesn’t matter, what matters is that it’s too dismissive!

Initially, Grant Hill thought Zhang Hao was actively learning O’Neal’s spin move, but the second time, Grant Hill understood it was O’Neal teaching Zhang Hao during the game.

In other words, O’Neal treated the Pistons as sparring partners!

Intolerable! Grant Hill signaled to his teammates, came to the top arc, confronted Zhang Hao’s defense blocking mid-range shots, and continued to drive!

On the baseline, against Barkley, Edith Soper suddenly turned around and bypassed Barkley during Grant Hill’s drive, cut to the basket, while Joe Dumars from the left weak side ran hard to the top arc.

O’Neal was actively defending inside the three-second zone, quickly moving to the right side of the key, Barkley was chasing behind, overtook the three-second zone first to defend Ratliff receiving the ball, this time the inside collaboration awareness of both was excellent.

However, Grant Hill didn’t pass the ball, but attacked directly to the basket!

When O’Neal realized he was tricked, it was too late to foul, Grant Hill was too fast, almost like a stretched version of the point guard they faced a few days ago!

Grant Hill jumped at close range, slamming the ball over O’Neal to the basket..."Clap"...

O’Neal’s shock and anger instantly turned into surprise!

While Grant Hill, who was about to celebrate, suddenly had a look of disbelief.

Zhang Hao didn’t bother with Joe Dumars, who ran unpredictably to the top arc, creating a three-point shooting opportunity, instead followed behind Grant Hill, chasing with a big block!

The ball bounced back off the board, Zhang Hao landed and grabbed it, turned, started a fast break!

The fast break opportunity finally came!

As Zhang Hao passed teammate Doug Christie, "Single Rider" was triggered, his speed surged to 94, quickly catching up with the retreating Joe Dumars at mid-court.

Joe Dumars’ speed was 88, even slower than Zhang Hao in a regular state, and although Zhang Hao was dribbling the ball, the speed difference was huge, key is Zhang Hao’s dribbling this year is much better than last year!

Joe Dumars tried to reach, Zhang Hao switched hands and blocked Joe Dumars with his body, easily surpassing him, speed surged again, "Single Rider" full power!

When Grant Hill stabilized after landing, he immediately chased after, just about to catch up, saw Zhang Hao, after surpassing Joe Dumars, become even faster, so fast it was completely uncatchable... got it! Gave up!

Zhang Hao finished a fast break slam dunk with one hand for two points!

Pistons were quick in their initial retreat to defense, Lakers couldn’t execute a fast break, Zhang Hao couldn’t lift the team’s spirit, but now, morale is up!

As Grant Hill ran back to inbound, looked at Zhang Hao who completed the block, rebound, and counterattack sequence, yet remained expressionless, he genuinely admired one thing!

Zhang Hao’s overall defensive ability can only be considered good, if counting his defensive traits, barely called excellent.

But his awareness is amazing!

Just now, Zhang Hao actually figured out his true intention!

Awareness... Zhang Hao’s awareness is excellent, but his ability to judge and execute decisions on help defense, still not very good.

But the tactic Grant Hill used just now, Zhang Hao knew, it’s Duke University’s tactic, an S movement, an off-ball player independently creating opportunities, the ball handler can have two passing routes.

But passing, according to Zhang Hao’s understanding of this tactic, should be the choice of an ordinary ball handler with moderate offensive ability...Alright, it’s actually unfortunate, Zhang Hao saw yesterday’s NCAA best play on the news, Kobe executed this tactic and directly charged in, slammed the ball over Duncan.
