After the halftime break, both sides returned to the court and the game continued.
The Lakers attacked, and Kobe played particularly aggressively.
With only a 16-point lead, he was still not satisfied.
With his back to Wade, he hit twice, and then Kobe turned around and shot a jumper.
The ball didn't go in.
In the transition between offense and defense, Wade used the screen of his teammates to get rid of Kobe, and then broke through to the basket.
At this time, Zhang Zhiyuan is closest to Wade and can go to defend.
But Zhang Zhiyuan didn't do this. He glanced at Wade and gave up.
Kobe frowned.
If it had been anyone else, Kobe would have glared at him.
But he knew that glaring at Zhang Zhiyuan was useless.
Not to mention that they are still leading now, even if the Lakers are lagging behind, Zhang Zhiyuan will sometimes behave inexplicably.
Kobe could only tolerate this "uncle" teammate.
"As long as you can win."
Kobe comforted himself with these words.
The Lakers counterattacked, Zhang Zhiyuan broke through and scored, and Kobe Bryant caught the ball and hit a jumper.
"This guy is still very useful on the offensive end."
Kobe felt a little relieved.
It was because of Zhang Zhiyuan to contain the defense that he was able to get such an easy shot.
During the transition between offense and defense, the Heat failed to score.
The Lakers seized the opportunity and widened the point difference.
Halfway through the third quarter, 76 to 54, the Lakers led by 22 points, Zhang Zhiyuan was replaced.
Many commentators were confused by this substitution, but it was hard for them to question it. After all, the Lakers coach was Jackson, who had more championship rings than he could wear.
On the court, the Lakers were attacking and Kobe was double-teamed. For a moment, he didn’t know who to pass to.
In the end, he forced a shot and missed the ball.
Unconsciously, he has become accustomed to Zhang Zhiyuan's style of play.
When he was led by himself again, his performance was not as good as last season.
The Heat attacked, but Wade didn't give up yet and used the cover of his teammates to break through and score.
The ball was transferred, the Lakers advanced, Kobe passed the ball, Walton missed the opportunity and missed the shot.
Back on the defensive end, Walton was broken through by Ricky Davis again and was forced to foul.
For a moment, the Heat felt like they were gaining momentum.
Fortunately, Kobe used his personal ability to score in the next round, and the Heat also experienced a power outage.
The Heat's counterattack flame was extinguished just as it was ignited.
The two teams went back and forth and played very smoothly.
After the third quarter, 86 to 68.
During Kobe's leadership, the Lakers lost by 4 points.
In the last quarter, Jackson let Kobe Bryant rest, and Zhang Zhiyuan took Farmar, Ariza, Turiaf and Kwame Brown to play.
This is almost a full bench lineup.
On the Heat's side are Smushparker, Wade, Ricky Davis, Haslem, and Mark Blount.
Almost the entire main lineup.
From this lineup and from Wade's playing time, it can be seen that the Heat do not seem to be deliberately bad. They are really bad and cannot beat their opponents.
At the beginning of the game, Zhang Zhiyuan used the attribute chain on Ariza, preparing to take the Heat by surprise.
"We'll play tactic No. 2 later. Just throw it hard from the outside."
Zhang Zhiyuan reminded, Ariza nodded.
Then the Lakers attacked, and Zhang Zhiyuan burst forward with the ball, giving the impression that he was carrying a bag of explosives to blow up the basket.
Ricky Davis helped defend, and Ariza took two steps back to the three-point line.
Zhang Zhiyuan distributed the ball and then blocked Ricky Davis' path back to defense.
Ariza made a three-pointer.
With Zhang Zhiyuan's attribute bonus and an open opportunity, Ariza can hit the ball steadily.
Jackson smiled upon seeing this, his goal was achieved.
He wants more scenes like this to prove that Zhang Zhiyuan's team leadership ability is better than Kobe's, which will be useful when convincing the management in the future.
The Heat attacked, and Ricky Davis wanted to bully Ariza.
However, he underestimated Ariza's defensive ability and was intercepted by Ariza when he broke through.
Zhang Zhiyuan went on a fast break, Ariza made a long pass, and the Lakers scored again.
The Heat attacked and Wade tried to break through Zhang Zhiyuan.
Originally, it was difficult for Zhang Zhiyuan to guard against Wade, but now Wade is too tired.
Zhang Zhiyuan can handle the slow-motion version of The Flash more than enough.
Wade had no choice but to score the ball halfway through.
Haslem hit the shot.
When the Lakers attacked, Zhang Zhiyuan continued his previous routine, pretending to attack by himself. After attracting the defense, Ariza took action.
Enter again.
After several rounds, Ariza made 4 of 6 three-pointers, and the Heat were completely unable to withstand it.
Even if they were beaten to death, they would never have imagined that the Lakers would let a substitute from the bench play the main offense.
106 to 78, the Lakers led by 28 points.
With 6 minutes left in the game, Pat Riley replaced all the main players and surrendered.
Zhang Zhiyuan also took a break and Walton came on to play.
At the end of the game, Kobe didn't play a minute in the fourth quarter.
However, the Lakers still won the game 114-88.
Wade played 42 minutes and scored 29 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.
O'Neal only played 27 minutes, but still had the second highest score on the team, with 17 points and 7 rebounds.
This also indirectly shows how poor the Heat's lineup is. Apart from the two of them, there is really no one available.
For the Lakers, Kobe didn't play long, only 30 minutes, scoring 25 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.
Zhang Zhiyuan didn't play long, only 31 minutes, and scored 24 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists.
The score of the double star seems to be similar to that of the Owei combination, but the effect is much different.
Driven by the two stars, the Lakers' role players have performed well.
Odom had 15 points, Ariza had 16 points, Fisher had 12 points and 6 assists, Bynum had 8 points and 9 rebounds...
ESPN's commentator commented: "A big reason why the Lakers have a good record this year is the depth of their lineup, and their substitutes are playing very well..."
tnt.
Smith said: "Bynum, Odom, and Ariza were called trash last season, but now they have become reliable helpers in the media. I have to say that it is comfortable to play next to stars."
"If Kobe Zhang Zhiyuan swaps with Wade O'Neal now, Kobe Zhang Zhiyuan can still turn the Heat into a strong team..."
Buckley.
cctv.
"Director Zhang, have you noticed that the Lakers seemed to play better when Xiao Zhang led the team, but they had no advantage when Kobe led the team. Does this mean that Xiao Zhang's leadership ability is better than Kobe's?"
Sun Zhengping asked.
"It's hard to say, but Xiao Zhang's leadership ability is indeed very strong."
Zhang Lili was cautious and did not give an answer.
However, fans all have their own answers in their hearts.
...
After defeating the Heat, the Lakers then defeated the Pacers back-to-back.
After returning home, they defeated the Clippers and 76ers one after another, ending the journey in November.
The November results of each team will be released accordingly.
The Lakers have 12 wins and 2 losses, ranking first in the league.
Followed closely by the Celtics, with 12 wins and 3 losses, only 0.5 wins away.
However, since the Celtics lost the game in a direct confrontation, most media and fans now think that the Lakers
Slightly better.
Ranking third is the Pistons, with 11 wins and 4 losses. Their defense is still so stable, allowing opponents only 89 points per game, second best in the league.
The fourth-ranked team is somewhat unexpected, Paul's Hornets, with 10 wins and 4 losses.
Although they lost miserably against the Lakers, they played pretty well at other times, which was a huge improvement compared to last season.
Ranked five to seven are the traditional top three in the Western Conference, the Spurs, Suns, and Mavericks.
Although they have temporarily fallen into the second tier, no one dares to underestimate them. They all believe that they will rebound and can definitely surpass the Hornets in the end.
The Magic are ranked eighth, and they have become a strong team this year.
The Cavaliers and Jazz tied for ninth.
The Cavaliers are disappointing. They were a Finals team last season, but they have suffered a serious decline this season.
The Nuggets and Wizards are tied for 11th.
Warriors, Raptors 13th.
The Rockets ranked 14th with 7 wins and 7 losses.
Yao Ming can't stand alone. Although he plays very hard, it will be very difficult when he encounters a strong team. Being ranked fourteenth is already very good, and the media's evaluation of him is more positive than negative.
McGrady can return from injury next month, which is good news for the Rockets.
After the Rockets, the rest are teams with winning percentages below 50%.
At the bottom are the Heat, Knicks, SuperSonics, and Timberwolves.
The Knicks' stability also makes the media talk about it.
The regular season has only been played for a month, and the idle media have already begun to predict each team's championship prospects.
I don’t know what method they used, or even accurately calculated the probability.
Among them, the Lakers have the highest probability of winning at 32%, followed by the Celtics at 29%.
Their two teams accounted for more than 60%.
The third place is the Spurs, 9.5%.
The Suns are at 6%, the Mavericks are at 5%, and the rest are all below 5%.
Media experts unanimously believe that this year's championship is the least suspenseful.
As long as the leading stars of the Lakers and Celtics teams are not injured or reimbursed, it will basically be the two teams competing for the championship.
After the game in November, the best player of the month is also announced.
The Eastern Conference winner was Howard, who averaged 23.8 points, 15 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game.
Although Howard's team's record is only third in the Eastern Conference, the Pistons, like the Celtics, have too scattered star data to compare with Howard.
The Celtics' best player is Garnett, who averages only 18.8 points and 9.2 rebounds per game. The Pistons are even worse, with Hamilton, the team's highest scorer, only averaging 17.3.
In the past few years, the Pistons have demonstrated what true team basketball is. Although they have never been a superstar, their record has always been stable and strong.
Only James can compete with Howard in terms of statistics in the Eastern Conference. Unfortunately, the Cavaliers have regressed a lot this year and their record is lagging behind.
The winner of the Western Conference award is Kobe.
There is not much suspense about this, after all, the Lakers' record is too good.
Moreover, Kobe's statistics look pretty good.
Averaged 28.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game.
Zhang Zhiyuan increased his passing in late November, and his scoring data dropped, but his assists increased.
He averaged 23.5 points, 4.2 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game in November.
6.8 assists, looks like the data of a point guard.
What's even more beautiful is his high-end statistics, 52% field goal percentage, 46% three-point shooting percentage, 92% free throw shooting rate, and the efficiency value ranks first in the league.
Some commentators said that Zhang Zhiyuan is actually a Nash with stronger scoring ability and weaker assists.
This is a kind of praise, after all, Nash led the team to win two consecutive MVPs.
In his second season, Zhang Zhiyuan was compared with Nash and Kobe. This in itself is a huge affirmation.
Everyone is optimistic about his future because he is too young. He will not turn 20 in more than a month.
On November 2, the Lakers did not play.
The league announced the All-Star nominees.
Five players from the Lakers were selected.
Kobe Bryant, Zhang Zhiyuan, Odom, Fisher, Bynum.
With statistics like those of Fisher and Bynum, no one would even take a look at them if they were thrown to a weak team.
However, just because they were on the Lakers, they were put on the candidate list.
Although their probability of making the All-Star team is almost zero, for role players, being a candidate is already an honor.
Chinese fans have been staring at the candidate list for a long time. Once the list came out, they were all disappointed because Yi Jianlian was not selected.
There is no way, his statistics are too poor, currently averaging 9.2 points and 5.5 rebounds per game.
This kind of data is available in abundance in the NBA.
Moreover, Yi Jianlian's shooting percentage is not high, his defense is not very good, and he has no outstanding highlights.
There are already Yao Ming and Zhang Zhiyuan in the league, so there is no need to pay attention to Yi Jianlian's Chinese identity.
For Yi Jianlian, Zhang Zhiyuan is helpless now. After all, he is not the boss of the team yet and does not have much say in the management.
Moreover, Zhang Zhiyuan is also a little selfish.
At present, the domestic expectations for Yi Jianlian are still very high. If he helps Yi Jianlian now, even if he helps Yi Jianlian hit a data of 1510, domestic fans may not think it is his own contribution.
There may even be people who think that Yi Jianlian could have won 2010, but they delayed Yi Jianlian's growth.
Therefore, Zhang Zhiyuan is prepared to wait until Yi Jianlian is almost unable to survive in the NBA before taking action.
At that time, if you help Yi Jianlian win 2010 and lead him to win two championships, who would dare to ignore his achievements?
At that time, a hat of "making teammates better" will definitely be indispensable.
Yi Jianlian did not make the shortlist, which made Chinese fans a little regretful, but fortunately there are still Zhang Zhiyuan and Yao Ming.
With their statistics and records, it is almost a sure thing that they will join the starting lineup.
It's gratifying that two Chinese players join hands to start the All-Star game.
Many fans have already started gearing up, waiting for the voting to open.
As soon as the voting window opens, they will let Americans see the power of Chinese fans.
However, just after the alliance announced its candidates, some people immediately jumped out to call for restrictions on overseas voting, believing that it was unfair.
Although the commentator did not mention China by name, any fool would know that he was talking about China.
Only China's population would make them tremble.
Although India has a large population, basketball in India, well...does basketball exist in India?
This statement was supported by some fans, but also opposed by some fans.
The final decision still depends on the alliance.
On November 1, the Lakers announced that Kobe Bryant injured his finger during training and would miss one or two games.
Before, Lakers fans would be nervous and worried when seeing such news.
But now, Lakers fans say it's not a big problem.
After all, the Lakers' next opponent is the Knicks, and Zhang Zhiyuan is enough.
Not only do the fans think so, the Lakers coaching staff doesn't take the Knicks seriously either.
Zhang Zhiyuan is even more outrageous. Before the game on the 3rd, he went to New York in advance on the 2nd to go on a date with Taylor Swift.
Zhang Zhiyuan wanted to give Taylor a surprise, but did not notify him in advance.
As a result, we arrived at Taylor's residence, just in time for Taylor to attend a live show to promote her new album.
"How about you go with me?"
Taylor didn't want to leave Zhang Zhiyuan bored at home alone, so he made a bold suggestion.
"Will the TV station agree?"
Zhang Zhiyuan asked.
"How could they refuse? This is something you wish for. I can even help you with the appearance fee. The only thing I'm worried about is
Yes, will the media say you are not doing your job properly, and will it affect your image?"
Taylor said.
"As long as I don't have an image, nothing can affect me."
Zhang Zhiyuan smiled.
"..."
Taylor.
Then, Taylor made a call to the TV station, and there was no suspense about the result. The TV station readily agreed.
After some preparations, Zhang Zhiyuan followed Taylor to the "Hi Singing Show" program.
At the beginning of the show, Zhang Zhiyuan did not appear directly, and the host Brianna also pretended not to know.
"Welcome our new little diva, Taylor...Swift."
Brianna.
Taylor appeared, waved to the audience and the TV audience, and then said: "Ana, I can bring a guest up.
?”
Taylor's words directly aroused the curiosity of the audience. Isn't this Taylor's personal interview show? Why are you bringing people along?
"who?"
Anna asked.
"A friend of mine came to New York to find me despite his busy schedule, but I happened to be on the show..."
"he?"
Brianna interrupted: "Okay, you have successfully aroused my curiosity. Please invite him up quickly and let us see who this mysterious person is."
The word "he" makes the audience's soul of gossip ignite.
Later, Zhang Zhiyuan appeared.
"Oh, it's Zhang. I should have thought of it, who else could it be besides Zhang?"
Brianna exclaimed exaggeratedly.
"I knew it was him."
Many astute viewers guessed in advance that because of the constant scandals between Zhang Zhiyuan and Taylor, there is a high probability that they are in love.
"Zhang, it seems you have a game tomorrow, right?"
Brianna asked.
It's too presumptuous to come to a TV show when there is a competition.
"Yeah, but Taylor said she was going to be on Brianna's singing show, and who could turn down the chance to chat with Brianna? Fuck basketball."
Zhang Zhiyuan said.
The phrase "Fuck basketball" immediately made Brianna laugh.
"Oh, God, your mouth is so sweet, no wonder Taylor was captured by you."
Brianna tried.
Taylor and Zhang Zhiyuan did not intend to hide it. Taylor said: "You are right, compared to his football skills, his mouth is more powerful."
At this moment, countless male viewers in front of the TV were heartbroken.
Although they had already guessed that Taylor might have an affair with Zhang Zhiyuan, there was no official announcement before, so they could still comfort themselves and deceive themselves.
But now, all their illusions have been completely shattered, and their goddess has been ruined by others.
This feeling is really heartbreaking.
"When did you get together?"
Brianna asked, a good new song promotion turned directly into a gossip show.
But it doesn't matter, it will help the ratings.
With Taylor's emotional gossip, who is going to listen to music? Fuck the new song.
"It's hard to say, maybe it was the first time we met."
Taylor said with a happy face.
Looking back on the relationship with Zhang Zhiyuan, Taylor felt that it was quite romantic. It could be made into a song or a movie.
"love at first sight?"
Brianna.
"He left a very good impression on me when we first met, and later he helped me write several popular songs. In the upcoming album, two songs were written by him, and two more songs were written by him.
The first one was composed by me and him..."
Taylor told a story that female viewers were eager to hear.
...
"Have you learned a sentence or two in Chinese since you were with Zhang?"
Brianna continues to gossip.
"certainly."
Taylor then showed off a few Chinese phrases, which made the audience confused.
"Zhang, how difficult is Chinese?"
Brianna asked.
"Well...my teammate Hayes originally wanted to learn Chinese from me, and then I asked him what comes after the letter Q. He scratched his head and thought for a long time before answering, and he got the answer wrong.
So I persuaded him to give up learning Chinese because it was already difficult to memorize the 26 letters, and there are more than 40,000 Chinese characters."
The audience laughed when they heard that Hayes didn't even know what letter came after Q.
But when they heard that there were more than 40,000 Chinese characters, these people immediately stopped laughing.
Fuck Chinese.
Zhang Zhiyuan continued: "Literacy is only the simplest part. The most difficult part of Chinese is the meaning of the words. Some words can even have as many as 19 meanings, and the same meaning can be expressed by more than a dozen different words and words.
Express."
"Walter? Are you kidding me? Why does one word mean so many things? Can't we invent a few more words?"
Brianna asked with her eyes widened.
"I don't know. Maybe our ancestors felt that 40,000 words was a bit too much."
Zhang Zhiyuan, everyone laughed.
Taylor also interjected: "The most difficult thing about Chinese is its pronunciation. For the same phrase, the meaning is different if the tone is higher or lower."
Brianna: "Zhang, give me an example."
Zhang Zhiyuan said: "For example, in the word 'Fuck', WTF (one sound) means contempt, WTF (four sounds) (softly) means being frightened, WTF (three sounds) and WTF (four sounds) means anger."
....”
Brianna and the audience were already starting to faint.
"In short, Chinese is difficult. But once you learn Chinese and master Chinese, you will discover its beauty."
Zhang Zhiyuan originally wanted to promote Chinese, but after thinking about it he gave up.
The promotion of Chinese requires the influence of the country, and his personal influence is really insignificant.
As China becomes stronger, more people will naturally learn Chinese.
The topic changed again and we talked about All-Stars.
Brianna glanced at her memo and asked: "There is a voice on the Internet now that the Hope Alliance restricts overseas voting. What do you think?"
"It doesn't matter."
Zhang Zhiyuan said.
"Really? Are you sure?"
Brianna expressed disbelief. If there were restrictions, it would undoubtedly be bad news for Zhang Zhiyuan.
"Of course, I think American fans will also like me."
Zhang Zhiyuan said.
Brianna said: "It was before today, but not necessarily after you and Taylor announced their relationship. You know, there are more male fans."
The audience laughed.
"What you said makes sense, you scared me and I'm panicking now. Maybe I should call David Stern and ask him not to restrict overseas voting."
Zhang Zhiyuan looked panicked and took out his mobile phone.
Brianna laughed for a while, then glanced at the memo and asked: "You are going to play the Knicks tomorrow. Unfortunately, Kobe will miss the game. Are you worried?"
"Indeed, I am very worried now."
Zhang Zhiyuan's words stunned the audience for a moment. This was not something Zhang Zhiyuan could say.
But they understood immediately. Zhang Zhiyuan added: "I'm worried that I will have a super performance, because after Kobe's rest, I will get a lot of shots. If I score high points in Madison Square, I'm worried that there will be too much."
Fans threw water bottles at me."
"Believe me, they will applaud you. After all, they are Knicks fans."
Brianna teased Knicks fans.
"Really, then I have to ask, what is the highest score at Madison Square Garden."
Zhang Zhiyuan said.
"Oh, what do you want to do, isn't it?"
Brianna exclaimed.
There were also enthusiastic spectators at the scene who shouted: "Sixty points, created by Bernard King in 1984."
"Not from tomorrow."
Zhang Zhiyuan said.
"cool."
"Shet."
"boast."
Zhang Zhiyuan's fans think it's cool, neutral fans think Zhang Zhiyuan is crazy, and Zhang Zhiyuan's anti-fans are very unhappy.
After some small talk, Brianna noticed the time of the show and then talked about Taylor's new album.
At the end of the show, Zhang Zhiyuan and Taylor performed an impromptu chorus.
The program ended successfully.
Backstage predictions were that there would be about half a million viewers at the start of the show and at least three million by the end.
Zhang Zhiyuan threatened to break the record tomorrow, which attracted many basketball fans to watch.
Before the next day, Zhang Zhiyuan's participation in the show made headlines in the NBA.
【Zhang Zhiyuan team action, dating Taylor Swift.】
[Zhang Zhiyuan was absent from training, attended the show with Taylor Swift, and threatened to break the record in Madison Square during the show.]
[Zhang Zhiyuan and Taylor Swift announced their relationship.]
...
As soon as the news came out, people immediately gathered around.
"I knew the two of them were getting together."
"It's too willful to break team discipline just to pick up girls."
"He is trying to please the public. There is no way he can break Bernard King's record. As proof, if he does it, I will eat a real basketball on the live broadcast."
.......
Not long after, Knicks star Eddy Curry posted: "There is no way a TV clown can break records in Madison Square."
Crawford also posted: "This is a naked provocation and we will make him regret it."
Marbury: "The Knicks haven't fallen to the point where they can be manipulated by others."
Zhang Zhiyuan's words aroused strong dissatisfaction among the Knicks players. Every one of them was holding their breath and prepared to go to the court to give Zhang Zhiyuan a good look.
Players from both sides made harsh remarks, and a match that was originally unremarkable suddenly became a concern again.
The league and the media are happy to hear this.
They wish they could have more players like Zhang Zhiyuan in the league who can play well. They are simply a free publicity machine.
On the evening of December 3, the Lakers played against the Knicks.
