One Year Left to Play
Chapter 447 - 134: Party-Time
After a night passed, newspapers and television programs provided more detailed analyses of Zhang Hao’s performance in the game.
First of all, amazing!
Not to mention the rookies now and in the future, even those superstars have a very low probability of achieving Zhang Hao’s performance tonight, and the probability of switching blocks for assists is particularly low.
Even for Zhang Hao himself, no expert believes he can replicate tonight’s performance.
Explosion, definitely an explosion, a unanimous tone.
Regarding Zhang Hao’s own performance, experts from various newspapers and television programs generally agreed that Zhang Hao unleashed everything he knew to the extreme in anger.
Because everything Zhang Hao showed in this game, he had already demonstrated before.
Physical fitness, positional awareness, judging opponent movement paths on defense, rim protection ability... simple and unremarkable.
However, when this unremarkable style is pushed to the extreme, it turns out to be terrifying, far beyond everyone’s expectations.
Through this game, people seemed to witness the strongest possible form Zhang Hao could become!
From Asia, mainly China.
The Imperial Channel’s sports news program repeatedly aired news about Zhang Hao’s game, with long durations, eager to include every score and defense by Zhang Hao.
The major media followed the lead and promoted Zhang Hao.
The Basketball Association couldn’t sit still and stepped forward to state that Zhang Hao would definitely be recruited into the national team in the future, but now is Zhang Hao’s growth period...
The domestic public doesn’t have a deep understanding of certain associations yet and really thinks the Basketball Association is considering Zhang Hao’s welfare.
The old media who know the truth found joy in the embarrassment of seeing the Basketball Association.
These domineering officials finally have their day!
There are also many news stories related to the game, among them, unavoidable last night’s post-game interview with James Dolan where he remarked, "No way, God loves Los Angeles."
After the game, media reported that with over 60 million pay-per-view sales, James Dolan’s other enterprise American Cable TV Station had a net profit of at least 10 million US dollars last night.
In this game, the New York Knicks were definitely put on the shame rack, the ticket incident is destined to become a famous topic in NBA history.
As for how much money the Knicks made off the opportunity, that actually didn’t grab much attention, just as they are mocked continuously and perform poorly but consistently rank first in NBA revenue.
Also, Zhang Hao being ejected by the referee to avoid greater chaos 11 minutes 58 seconds into the third quarter of last night’s game became a famous scene left from this match—playing exceptionally well and being penalized!
...
...
Zhang Hao woke up.
Looking at the high-end clock he brought on road games on the bedside table, it said 6:18 AM, January 8, 1996.
"Three minutes later than usual... stayed up too late last night, didn’t activate study mode... but it’s fine, I’d never be able to replicate last night’s game even if it killed me, doesn’t seem there’s anything to review..."
"Remaining life 779 days, usable life 778 days."
Seeing this life count, Zhang Hao just wanted to keep the music and dancing going!
Feeling the excitement, Zhang Hao sat up, ready to draw a lottery for more fun.
He originally planned to draw a lottery yesterday, but the teammates were busy once returning to the locker room, and by the time they got back to the hotel, it was already early morning, biological clock hit, it was time to sleep.
"Bronze... Silver... let’s start with a Bronze one!"
With a thought, the subtitles prompted.
"Host uses Bronze Level lottery once..."
"Congratulations to host for obtaining item: Glasses of the Scholar."
"Glasses of the Scholar: Available to signed players, enhances memory when worn, usable in study mode by host."
Zhang Hao looked at the glasses that suddenly appeared on the bed, picked them up and found they were just a plain frame, merely a decoration!
"Alright, alright, it’s still quite useful, study mode just retains memory without forgetting, remembering is quite troublesome, having this doubles efficiency... hey? Can wear it when watching tapes, can wear it when reading, useful for exams too, can it be put away?"
This thought just crossed Zhang Hao’s mind and the glasses vanished, the subtitles switched to the reward section, "Glasses of the Scholar" was listed in the award list.
"Not bad, not bad, pretty good luck! Let’s go again!"
"Host uses Silver Level lottery once..."
"Congratulations to host for obtaining Bronze Medal: Rebound Protector."
"Rebound Protector (Bronze) (Not Worn): When worn, at blocking and rebounding, if accurately obstructing an opponent moving to the rebound fall point, there’s a 25% probability of perfect obstruction."
"Bronze Medal? Wasn’t this a Silver lottery?"
"Except specified level lottery medals, all lottery-acquired medals are Bronze Level, Bronze Level lottery-acquired medal probability is 1%, Silver lottery-acquired medal probability is 5%, Gold lottery-acquired medal probability is 10%."
"I see... just had a birthday, luck sure is great!
This medal... seems quite fitting with my current gameplay style! My rebounding is average, if I position like Campbell it would be a huge help to the team!
I need more learning in positioning... I have so much to learn, wasted youth... but heck, I’m only 19!"
Zhang Hao quickly detached himself from last night’s "give me a point guard and I’m unstoppable" mindset and realized almost immediately when the system notified him that the "top-level off-ball playing ability" experience time was over, he should distinguish between his performance in the game against the Knicks and his true self.
Nonetheless, still, gotta stay happy!
Moreover, early morning surprises keep coming!
