Chapter 32, Goal Best Rookie?
The Zen master was very satisfied with Zhou Hang's performance inside and outside the venue.
Although Zhou Hang is a rookie, he can't talk nonsense, has a high emotional intelligence, and can get along well with the media.
This is even better than Kobe, and Kobe's relationship with the media is not very good.
...........
The news that Zhou Hang scored 20 points in this game was continuously spread by the media.
During that time, Zhou Hang beat every Pistons player who defended him. The Pistons, who are good at defending, had no choice but to Zhou Hang.
The Pistons had to use double-teams against a rookie.
Then they used pincer attacks on Zhou Hang, making them unable to deal with the offensives of other Lakers players, and eventually led to a home defeat.
After this game, Zhou Hang's ranking of best rookies also came to second place, second only to Durant.
After six consecutive games, experts and media in the league can no longer ignore the influence brought by Zhou Hang.
The Lakers won a 6-game winning streak, and Zhou Hang made great contributions!!
In this 6-game winning streak, Zhou Hang scored 30+ games and 20+ games, averaging 27 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game.
Then in tonight's game, they all saw Zhou Hang's progress.
At first, everyone thought that Zhou Hang was just ordinary 3D, but Zhou Hang used multiple singles to prove that his ability was far more than just 3D.
The Lakers are now very competitive, but Zhou Hang can still stand out in such fierce internal competition and gain the trust of Zen masters, which itself shows that Zhou Hang is more powerful than other competitors.
Zhou Hang's scores in this game were also cut into material by fans and played on various forums.
Domestic fans have realized that they still underestimated Zhou Hang.
Zhou Hang's strength is terrible.
A super stable three-pointer can continuously perform misaligned single-handed attacks and excellent in-cutting without the ball.
These weapons are Zhou Hang's powerful weapons to obtain points.
At the post-match press conference.
Hamilton also said in an interview with reporters: "We have a huge advantage in the first quarter, but Zhou's appearance changed all this. To be honest, it is difficult for us to use single defense to limit Zhou. It is the first time I have encountered such a difficult rookie as Zhou. If you are not careful, he will complete the shot in front of you."
Billups said: "He has a long range. Every three-point shot makes me feel a headache. I'm obviously defending his three-point shot, but he can find all kinds of opportunities. 38 points, OMG, it's hard to believe that this is a score a rookie scored when facing us."
Rashid Wallace said: "He won't be the little guy you like to face. He's playing too smart."
...........
Zhou Hang was placed in the second place in the rookie rankings, which made Al Horford feel a little uncomfortable.
Horford was the No. 3 pick in the first round by the Hawks. With the No. 1 pick Oden reimbursed, the best rookie has always been a competition with No. 2 pick Durant.
Horford is 2.08 meters tall and weighs 111 kilograms. He plays as a power forward/center.
After entering the NBA, Horford's performance was very stable, with Horford averaging 10 points and 9.7 rebounds per game.
On January 6, 2008, Horford scored 15 points and 20 rebounds in the Hawks' 98-95 victory over the Knicks.
In the history of the Hawks, the last time he scored 20 rebounds in a single game was Alan Henderson, who grabbed 21 rebounds in the game where the Hawks beat the Supersonics 119-116 on November 26, 2002.
Horford did this as a rookie, and this game also made Horford famous.
Before Zhou Hang appeared, he was the number one challenger for Durant's best rookie.
However, after Zhou Hang appeared, his popularity was completely snatched away by Zhou Hang, so that in the latest rankings, Zhou Hang ranked second and Horford ranked third.
After the Hawks won the Heat, Horford, who scored 18 points and 11 rebounds, told the media: "The latest best rookie ranking ignores me. I know you like the way of playing outside players, but I will not compromise. As an inside player, I feel disrespected and I will prove my own strength."
Obviously, Horford felt very unhappy about being pressed on by a second-round pick.
He did not name Zhou Hang, but said this when Zhou Hang ranked higher than him.
This is very clever.
Horford is an honest man. He has a beautiful Miss Universe as his girlfriend. He is already a winner in life off the court. Horford hopes to gain respect on the basketball court.
But now, respect doesn't seem so easy to obtain.
Zhou Hang also saw an interview about Horford, but he himself felt that it was nothing.
Horford is a player with a low star taste, but he prefers to find a sense of existence.
Of course, his strength cannot be underestimated.
Zhou Hang was not very interested in defeating Horford on the basketball court.
Based on his impression, Zhou Hang knew that he had a beautiful girlfriend.
Zhou Hang opened the search engine and searched for photos of Horford's girlfriend.
Well, it's really beautiful...
Zhou Hang felt that he could also go on a date with the beauty pageant champion and Miss Universe in the future.
After the Lakers got a chance to breathe after playing against the Pistons, they returned to their home court and after a day of rest, they faced the challenge of their city rivals Clippers.
The Clippers are now a weak team, and they don't even have an All-Star player. Their current record is 19 wins and 33 losses. Their season goal is to lose as much as possible and then get a higher draft pick.
Although Gasol still needs to rest, the Lakers did not have many surprises in this game and easily won 123-93.
Zhou Hang's shooting feel was a bit bad in this game, but in order to complete the 25-point mission, Zhou Hang also made crazy shots.
After the game, Zhou Hang made 6 of 18 three-pointers, 3 of 8 two-pointers and 3 of 3 free throws, scoring 27 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists.
Zhou Hang's shooting percentage is only 34%, which is not high. Compared with previous games, his efficiency has declined a lot.
Zhou Hang played Sauton in this game with the ball.
Fortunately, the others in the Lakers performed well.
Kobe made 12 of 20 shots in the game, scoring 35 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, and Bynum scored 16 points, 11 rebounds and 5 blocks.
On the Clippers, the highest score was Mageti's 23 points, then Thomas's 20 points and Mobri's 12 points.
The Lakers won a 7-game winning streak, and Zhou Hang also scored 20+ in 7 consecutive games.
Zhou Hang won 13 win points in this game.
Win 1, get 10 in a row for 20+, and get 2 in a row.
After Zhou Hang completed this task, he did not take on the next task. Zhou Hang felt that he was a little too eager to complete the task in this game, otherwise he would not have taken action so many times based on his feelings today.
Zhou Hang is not willing to take action on the field to make data, so Zhou Hang prefers to play more reasonable styles of play.
After defeating the Clippers, the Lakers' next home opponent is the Atlanta Hawks.
Chapter completed!
