Chapter 862: Chapter 266: I’m a Diehard Fan of Boss Qiao! (11,000 Words)_7

However, when Zhang Hao looked toward the left side of the three-second zone, he noticed O’Neal had his hands on his hips and wasn’t intending to play one-on-one, while Barkley was pulling away on the right side of the three-second zone…

Kenny Anderson moved to the right 45-degree angle, and Doug Christie was beyond the left three-point line.

“Oh man! They really want me to do this, huh!”

Though surprised, Zhang Hao’s body honestly turned to face the basket, dribbled the ball backward slightly, creating space.

Garnett immediately pressed up, fearing Zhang Hao would throw a long-distance three-pointer.

At the moment Garnett pressed up, Zhang Hao broke through to the right side!

Garnett was prepared, moving quickly sideways, but just when he was about to close in on Zhang Hao again, Zhang performed a beautiful behind-the-back cross dribble, avoiding Garnett’s collision, and broke through to the left front!

Garnett wanted to close back in but couldn’t; he reacted quickly, retreating while spinning to chase Zhang Hao.

Guarding a power forward, yet having to use skills for guarding smaller players, left Garnett speechless, but he was confident he could keep up with Zhang Hao’s breakthrough… no way!

Garnett’s retreating and turning movements were already very agile, and he could keep up with top guards.

After a change of direction, everyone needs an acceleration phase, even someone as fast in the league as Iverson.

But Zhang Hao, after changing direction, seemed to sprint at maximum speed… no, he started off even faster than his normal drives!

Garnett couldn’t keep up; Zhang Hao sprinted to the left of the three-second zone, jumped up, and went for a layup in front of Guglielota…

Guglielota had no time to react, watching helplessly as Zhang Hao placed the ball into the basket over his head.

This play, Guglielota simply couldn’t deal with.

Marbury, who was defending Kenny Anderson, stared wide-eyed at Zhang Hao playing one-on-one with Garnett.

Kenny Anderson pursed his lips and retreated to defend…

Our little brother can now smoothly use the crossover dribble in games.

Zhang Hao had used the crossover dribble before, but back then, it was either out of desperation or dangerous situations, making Zhang Hao seem reckless.

Using it like this during regular time, as the first attack of the game, has a completely different meaning.

This means Zhang Hao has already regarded the crossover dribble as a regular offensive tool!

Thinking back to just over a year ago, when our little brother would dribble the ball off his foot…

The on-site fans couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

It seems their genius high schooler couldn’t pull off this type of play…

However, this time Garnett didn’t become enraged and demand the ball; after advancing to the frontcourt with a pass, he handed the ball to Marbury, then cleared to the baseline while Guglielota came out to request the ball at the left 45-degree angle.

Although Garnett was an All-Star selection, the head wolf of the Timberwolves’ trio wasn’t Garnett, but Guglielota. Guglielota was the Timberwolves’ strongest player, averaging 21 points, 9 rebounds, and 3.8 assists, leading the team in scoring and rebounding and second in assists.

Guglielota’s shooting ability was outstanding, successfully pulling O’Neal out. Marbury cut through the middle, and Zhang Hao left Sam Mitchell open to return to the basket. Guglielota passed to Marbury, who successfully attracted the double-team of Zhang Hao and Doug Christie, then passed the ball again. Doug West used Sam Mitchell’s screen to block Kenny Anderson, easily cut in, received the ball, and jumped under the basket!

Zhang Hao turned, having no chance to jump up to confront directly, and leapt with all his might, reaching for the ball as the opponent slammed it down…

Doug West, back in the day, could be considered a star, averaging 19.3 points at his peak. Seeing an opportunity, he decisively aimed for a poster dunk; he was a formidable attacking player at the time.

However, he underestimated Zhang Hao’s aggressiveness and shot-blocking prediction.

Doug West cut in, received the ball, and charged the basket; his hand slapped the rim last, but the dunked ball was knocked away!
