On Wang Zhizhi's side, Georgetown University finished the regular stage of this season, and the final record was 23 wins and 12 losses, which was not very outstanding, but he also successfully advanced to the top 64 ahead of schedule.

Zhang Hao remembered that Iverson led the team to the quarterfinals this year in his sophomore year, and I don’t know if it would be possible to go further with Wang Zhizhi... But Wang Zhizhi was only a freshman, and he almost destroyed his playing style this season, and his performance fluctuated greatly.

Anyway, Wang Zhizhi's college career has just begun, so Zhang Hao and Wang Zhizhi are both encouraging...

...

...

Be prepared for the battle!

The game with the Bullets is just an appetizer.

After playing against the Bullets, the Lakers focused on preparing for the next game - the last time this season's regular season match against the Rockets.

This season, the Lakers and Rockets have a record of 2 wins and 1 loss. For the opponents that this team is most likely to meet in the second round, the Lakers attach great importance to the last matchup.

After this match, it is likely that we will determine the specific strategic policy after encountering the Rockets in the playoffs.

As for if you are so prepared, you don’t encounter it in the end... there is nothing you can do. Preparation must be done.

However, the Rockets' journey to three consecutive championships is really a disaster. Originally, it was already very disaster for the boss to be replaced by Alexander on the eve of the championship. By this season, the injury has never stopped.

Now, the Lakers want to continue to work hard and beat the Rockets again, and of course the Rockets also want to equalize the regular season record, Olajuwon couldn't play because of his knees.

Kassel and substitute forward Sam Mark were both injured.

On the evening of March 3, the three main players of the Rockets, Olajuwon, Kassel and Sam Mark, wore suits and watched their teammates do their best and lost to the Lakers 95-101.

Although the opponent lacks three main players, the Lakers won it not be easy. Drexler and Mario Ellie scored 50 points together, but they played until the end despite the lack of major generals.

It really doesn't mean that if there are players who are absent, they will definitely play poorly. The game is always unpredictable.

Zhang Hao scored not high tonight, made 6 of 13 shots, but failed to score three-pointers, plus 6 of 8 free throws, scored 18 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks.

Van Exel performed well, scoring 26 points and 7 assists, Jason Williams scored 8 points and 8 rebounds, and the Magicians scored 14 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists.

Relying on the advantage of team strength, the Lakers narrowly won the victory when the opponent's top combat power was less than two.

...

The difficult schedule in March began. After playing three consecutive homes since the last game last month, the Lakers ushered in their first back-to-back in March, and away back-to-back.

On March 5, the Lakers came to Sacramento Arco Center and challenged the Kings away.

The Lakers performed well in this game, and their regular good condition was shown. Among them, Doug Christie did a very good job in defense against Riccimond, limiting Riccimond to only score 15 points in 6 of 15 shots in the game, and he made 1 point in one shot. This efficiency must be a drag.

Although the Lakers defended against Kings athletic center Alden Polynis and was hit by the opponent's career-high 30 points in a single game, the player who averaged 11 points this season made 23 attempts, which means the Kings really have no moves.

Zhang Hao scored 29 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks, almost 19th time this season was a bit regrettable.

However, there are no regrets in the game. The Lakers beat the Kings 105 to 95. After playing 58 games, they improved their record to 47 wins and 11 losses.

...

On March 6, at 7 pm the next day after playing against the Kings, the Lakers came to Phoenix City without stopping. The away challenge of February began to be quite in good momentum and returned to the playoffs.

Barkley's personal performance this season is definitely MVP level, with a very high winning contribution rate. He has played in 50 games so far this season and averaged 4.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.6 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 50%, averaging 1.1 three-pointers and a three-point shooting percentage of 33%...

However, Dan Marley's departure, Danny Manning was reimbursed due to injury... Since getting Barkley, he won at least 56 consecutive seasons, and the Suns, who won 59 last season, have fallen.

Relying on the 10 wins and 3 losses in February, the Suns are currently 25 wins and 24 losses, barely ranking seventh in the Western Conference, but the record is not much different from the eighth Kings.

However, since February, the Suns' strength has significantly improved, and the shadow of the 59-win team last season can be seen slightly.

Tonight, facing the Lakers in the second game back-to-back, Barkley played well, making 10 of 16 shots, including an astonishing 3 of 3 three-pointers, plus 5 of 6 free throws, scoring 28 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists.

Kevin Johnson, the key player in the Suns' recovery, also scored 14 points and 10 assists tonight.

The most amazing thing is that Michael Finley, who copied Michael Jordan, made 8 of 12 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists on the bench, and competed against Zhang Hao.

On the other hand, the Lakers performed very well, scoring 101 points in the game, Zhang Hao had 23 points and 6 rebounds, the Magic had 7 points and 9 assists, and Van Exel had 21 points and 6 assists. Although the offensive end was not good, it was not very bad.

It's just that the defensive end is not doing well.

101-114, the Lakers lost away!

...

Back to back of the road is the beginning of this four-game series.

The performance of 1 win and 1 loss back to back is not as bad as the Lakers, which have begun to accept the loss, as it has been as negative as before.

Moreover, the preparation time for these two games is insufficient, and the Suns are waiting for it...

Because the Lakers focused on studying when they set off for four consecutive away games, there was only one team, and the next opponent - the Seattle Supersonics!
Chapter completed!
