One Year Left to Play

The Blazers, on the other hand, came back to their senses feeling like they’ve seen a ghost!

Rashid Wallace felt like he had completely blocked the shot, Zhang Hao was tilting his body and throwing sideways when he took the shot; plus, due to the resistance, he didn’t jump high enough and shot with bent knees, twisting his waist in the air.

But he directly threw a swish three-pointer!

After returning to the backcourt, Zhang Hao saw the system prompt.

"One-Hit Kill has been used, the host’s previous three-point shot met the Special Card’s requirement, previous three-point shot supplemented the jump reduction due to resistance and corrected the angle deviation due to side tilting..."

In summary, it reported the effect of the One-Hit Kill, a full-force successful shot, must-make effect!

After his teammates ran back, Zhang Hao loudly said: "Defend penetration, protect the rim, grab rebounds, and defend the outside shot receivers when possible. If it’s too far, shrink to block penetration! One-on-one defense players defend the opponent’s shots, let them come in if they want to drive."

That shot not only brought heartache to the teammates but also triggered the passive effect of "Heart Return", at this moment, his teammates all listened to Zhang Hao’s words.

Nash reached the frontcourt, controlling the anxiety brought by Zhang Hao’s offensive last round, continued the pick and roll with Rashid Wallace, steadily attacking and distributing.

This time the Lakers’ basket defense was tighter, Nash distributed to the left side of the three-second zone, Sabonis received the ball and made a mid-range shot!

to 61, the Blazers continued to maintain their lead.

Zhang Hao continued to drive after the pass, enjoying this feeling of dribbling, tonight is over and he will strive to practice dribbling again.

Upon reaching the frontcourt, Rashid Wallace defended even tighter this time, fearing Zhang Hao might shoot instantly.

Direct breakthrough?

No!

Zhang Hao turned outside the three-point line, actively leaning towards Rashid Wallace!

The crowd erupted in exclamations, here he comes! He’s back with the Gentleman back-down play!

Rashid Wallace felt humiliated, struggled defensively, but the moment Zhang Hao collided with him, the raised elbow move hurt badly, and his raw strength couldn’t hold up, quickly pushed back inside the free-throw line.

Stacey Augmon came to double-team instantly, Zhang Hao turned, and during the turnaround facing Rashid Wallace, who rushed fiercely, and Stacey Augmon, who came to double-team, shot a turnaround fadeaway from the free-throw line...

Scored!

This time, Zhang Hao knew how to exert himself when shooting, understanding how to shoot with a super top-notch mid-range shot level of 95, moreover, the hand feeling was very good, even more silky than his previous feeling of 92 mid-range shot!

Scored 5 points in a row!

Iso, one-on-two, no pass!

Zhang Hao’s personal score rose to 30 points!

Rashid Wallace seeing such a shot got frustrated, at this moment, the somewhat childish yet maddening voice came again...

"Rashid, and that 13th-pick rookie, if I score one more, you’ll both have less combined score than me. Or do you want to join forces?"

After speaking, Zhang Hao turned and ran back to the backcourt.

Too bullying! How can someone be so bad?

Moreover, why can this guy be so bad and still look so good?

And why am I, Rashid Wallace, so gentle yet looking so scary?

Why!

I’m not convinced!

Rashid Wallace angrily ran towards the frontcourt.

to 70, a 7-point difference.

Position switch, Blazers attack, after reaching the frontcourt Rashid Wallace positioned left side of the free-throw line with his shoulder against the Magician for the ball!

Nash stayed calm, but Rashid Wallace couldn’t, Nash quickly considered then passed to Rashid Wallace, teammates were always running positions, occasionally someone needed to hold the ball for an attack, Rashid Wallace was evidently the strongest single-player of the Blazers on the court.

The Magician tightly stuck to Rashid Wallace, refusing him the opportunity to utilize height and reach for an open shot, Rashid Wallace took the chance to break through, charge inside facing Zhang Hao’s supplementary defense, and went for a strong dunk...

Zhang Hao was good at rim protection, now could distinctly assess the opponent’s movement route during defense.

Zhang Hao decisively made a move decision, as Rashid Wallace jumped, he also positioned sufficiently for jumping space, nearly jumped at the same time as Rashid Wallace... his hand directly slapped Rashid Wallace’s dunked ball!

Intercepted by the Magician who pursued back, planned a counterattack... held by Sabonis, Blazers made a tactical foul!

The Magician showed some regret, if this counterattack succeeded, the score difference would narrow to 5 points, entering a different phase.

At this time, the Magician heard a voice nearby.

"No problem, they’re just delaying the arrival of despair..."

The Magician blanked for a moment, wasn’t this too arrogant!

Noticed Zhang Hao hadn’t yet thrown from the baseline, understood, rushed to pass to Zhang Hao, the Magician never thought he’d ever be passing to another center player, opponent drives the ball forward...

Moreover, Zhang Hao talked a lot tonight! Just now those words, the Magician, as a teammate, felt it was too pretentious.

"Clearly my little brother, why do I have a feeling of being outshined?"

While advancing to the center circle, Zhang Hao suddenly thought of a gameplay.

Felt it fun, then play!

Zhang Hao from the mid-court began accelerating, by approaching the three-point line he successfully reached full speed, speeding up to the fastest, obliquely broke through, directly bypassing the top arc Rashid Wallace, although Rashid Wallace laterally moved and attempted resistances, still couldn’t keep up!

Directly drove to the basket!

Sabonis was helpless, watching as Zhang Hao scored a close-range floater.

Who plays like this?

Even Jordan, a physical monster, wouldn’t think about accelerating from mid-court!

It’s not that Jordan has better breakthrough techniques to use, rather accelerating breakthrough from mid-court equals playing offense like a counterattack.

Counterattack is inherently a physically exhausting method, aiming to dodge defensive resistances, if missed it’s a waste of stamina, Zhang Hao earlier playing this is tantamount to attacking with interior defense like a counterattack, Zhang Hao’s size made Sabonis feel defensively reaching would cause a foul, hence opted to give up.

Regardless, Zhang Hao made the shot, 65 to 70, the score tightened to 5 points, Zhang Hao solo played a 7 to 2 surge, the Blazers called a timeout!

The Blazers’ players in the last two minutes got hit a bit confused, wished to return to the bench for relief, that youthful yet understated voice, again infuriating, came...

"Too weak, too weak, Rashid, 13th-pick rookie, is this what you call performance? Can you make me a bit happier?"

Isaiah Rider couldn’t hold it anymore, instantly turned charging towards Zhang Hao... restrained by teammates.

Rashid Wallace hugged Isaiah Rider, said in his ear: "Even dares to play against Coleman, you can’t beat him, you’ll be beaten dead!"

These words made Isaiah Rider more agitated, the head referee walking towards the scorer’s table overheard the commotion, turned to look, saw Rashid Wallace, looking fierce, clutching Isaiah Rider roughly...

Is this anger causing trouble thinking teammates aren’t performing well, wanting to fight teammates?

The bald referee blew the whistle, gestured a T towards Rashid Wallace!
