One Year Left to Play

The team’s three top 50 stars are all slacking off, what else can he do!

If it wasn’t for Boss Kenny barely holding on alone, he’d want to slack off too...

But there’s no way around it, Kenny Anderson at best is one of the strongest among the top-tier players, he’s an All-Star level player, but he’s still a tiny bit shy of being a top player who consistently makes the All-Star reserve.

However, O’Neal going all out on offensive rebounds, selfless passing, active defense... The key is, when faced with truly unsolvable problems, just give the ball to O’Neal, and it’s solved.

This game, so satisfying!

But still...

"If Big Fatty plays like this every day, forget whether he wants to or not, his weight, already at 137 kilograms and definitely increasing, no one would require Big Fatty to play like that except the Divine Calculator, right?"

Zhang Hao thinks it’s just situational; last night, they happened to meet the Magic, and O’Neal wanted revenge.

After the game ended last night, Zhang Hao received a task completion notification and got a reward, conducting a review of the game early this morning.

Upon reanalyzing Anfernee Hardaway’s first-half performance from last night, Zhang Hao discovered something.

After gaining weight, even though Anfernee Hardaway’s speed decreased, his performance during the period when he had enough stamina actually improved compared to the past!

The defense got worse, that couldn’t be helped. He wasn’t a particularly good defender from the start, it’s just that his rating dropped a couple of points from last year, mainly because he couldn’t keep up with speed-oriented point guards anymore.

Looking at offense alone, Anfernee Hardaway’s close-range and under-the-basket shooting stability, along with his passing capability, have both improved.

He can’t maintain health, that’s a given. Even tenacious players like Kobe and James feel the immense strain on their bodies and are bound to get injured if they gain weight inappropriately.

The key is still stamina!

This year, Anfernee Hardaway’s stamina is visibly worse than last year’s, it’s not just about a 1-point drop in stamina rating, his style also burns more energy now. Although he still looks agile and full of flair, the strength boost from 82 to 87 makes inside offense more advantageous, prompting him to go inside more often, which consumes more energy, and he has to because there’s no one else in the Magic’s inside! Ronnie Seikaly isn’t that formidable inside, he just has good-looking stats.

The playing time doesn’t show it, Anfernee Hardaway’s minutes are no different from the past two years, but that’s because he must play. The scoring distribution clearly highlights the difference between Anfernee Hardaway now and before.

The most obvious is the field goal percentage. From Anfernee Hardaway’s field goal percentage, Zhang Hao caught a glimpse of the shadow of a future small forward who lies about his height.

It’s still a shame; Zhang Hao really enjoys his matchups with Anfernee Hardaway, but unfortunately, the opponent has already started to decline...

Let’s not dwell on this. After finishing breakfast, Zhang Hao went back to his room.

"Star Picker:

Goal: Instruct the special contracted player Zhang Hao to outperform Anfernee Hardaway during the game against the Magic in the combined five statistical categories of points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks with at least four categories individually higher. (Zhang Hao had 44 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, 5 steals, 4 blocks, totaling 70; Anfernee Hardaway had 48 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, totaling 64; Zhang Hao’s overall stats exceed Anfernee Hardaway’s, with four categories individually higher, task completed.)

Congratulations host on the reward: 30 days of life, 1 Bronze Lottery draw, 1 random Anfernee Hardaway technical transition training card (top-tier).

Remaining lifespan is 1306 days, available lifespan is 1305 days."

Last night he didn’t play in the final quarter because he calculated that, although his score ultimately didn’t surpass Anfernee Hardaway who wildly tossed 34 shots and took 15 free throws, the task was already completed.

Not appearing in the final quarter last night, the media coverage and expert discussions were just as heated as when he achieved a 60+ triple-double before.

So it doesn’t matter. Zhang Hao likes being in the spotlight, but under those circumstances, he preferred continuing to get stats against Anfernee Hardaway.

Since the task is completed and they’ve already won, he might as well rest well.

days of life, 1 Bronze Lottery draw, 1 random Anfernee Hardaway technical transition training card... Fantastic!

He held off and didn’t participate in the lottery last night for fear that whether his luck was too good or too bad, it would keep him up at night. He plans to do it today!

Currently, there are two Bronze Lottery draws, 1 Bronze Lottery opportunity, and 1 Silver Lottery opportunity.

Let’s put aside the matter of spending lifespan, let’s draw first.

First, use the Anfernee Hardaway technical transition training card!

With a thought, the system prompt appeared.

"Host used Anfernee Hardaway’s random technical transition training card (top-tier)... Congratulations host on acquiring the Anfernee Hardaway step-back fadeaway jump shot training card (top-tier)."

"Anfernee Hardaway step-back fadeaway jump shot training card (top-tier): When used on a contracted player, significant muscle memory enhancements and training comprehension boosts are obtained, rapidly elevating the skill level utilizing the best training effects until reaching top-tier level (80), at which point training bonuses cease."

Seeing this, Zhang Hao fell into deep thought.

This move is quite powerful, one of Anfernee Hardaway’s signature mid-range moves for shedding defenses.
