In terms of blocks, the Lakers also have players on the leaderboard, and it’s two of them. Mr. Zhang averages 2.5 blocks per game, ranking sixth, and Campbell averages 2.1 blocks per game, ranking ninth.

Zhang Hao saw these after the game was over, but seeing his name on TV still made him happy.

At noon 12 o’clock, the April Player of the Month award was broadcast for the first time.

First, the Player of the Week for the last week of the regular season...

"It’s actually me! Oh yeah! We won all four games this week, the only team in the league to be undefeated in the last week with four games, I played in three of them..."

Since the winning streak in January, Zhang Hao has once again won the Player of the Week award, his third time this season as Player of the Week!

Sweet!

The upcoming Player of the Month award is no surprise...

Mr. Zhang has won all Rookie of the Month awards for the season!

This was long anticipated, the gap was clearly evident, this season he had 69 games with at least 20 points, 31 games with at least 30 points, breaking Jordan’s rookie record in modern basketball with eight games scoring 40+ points... Other rookies in the same class finding it nearly impossible to match his performance, even Damon Stoudamire who averages 18 points and 9 assists, was quite far behind.

After all, besides scoring, Mr. Zhang also had results.

When the Player of the Month award was announced and Zhang Hao saw Juwan Howard’s name and picture appear... He didn’t mind not getting the Player of the Month award, these days, the Player of the Month is not separated by East and West, its value massively increased. Anyone managing to win it twice is undoubtedly a top favorite for MVP, and Mr. Zhang certainly isn’t.

But it’s still not Jordan!

Juwan Howard, in 11 games leading the team to 8 wins and 3 losses, averaging 29 points, 11 rebounds, and 5.9 assists, beat Jordan’s 31.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 3.3 assists in leading the team to 7 wins and 3 losses, to win April’s Player of the Month award!

...

Since the 1979-1980 season, the first regular season MVP not to win at least one Player of the Month award is coming!

"Mr. Jordan is very strong, he might be the second-best player in NBA history, he always manages to accomplish things others can’t, like 70 wins, like winning MVP again but not being interested in Player of the Month awards..."

That afternoon, Zhang Hao received a phone call for an interview with Sports Illustrated.

Without any suspense, it’s big news that Jordan didn’t win a single Player of the Month award this season. All six players who won Player of the Month awards are interview subjects for major media, including Jordan’s teammate Pippen...

After that question, the rest of the interview with Sports Illustrated focused on his personal matters.

"65 wins... still far from 70 wins, nothing too exciting."

"An average of 27.1 points isn’t high, right? There have been players in their rookie seasons with higher averages."

"65 wins + averaging 27.1 points is rare? Hasn’t been done before? Even Mr. Jordan didn’t do it? Then I must be pretty impressive... How did I do it? If it hasn’t been done, I should be asking why I haven’t done it..."

"..."

"..."

The reporter from Sports Illustrated couldn’t help but end the interview early, leaving Zhang Hao a bit disappointed.

"Why don’t they ask me who I think is the greatest player of all time..."

Throughout the afternoon, Zhang Hao didn’t go out, watching Aprile Clark, who refused to hire help, busy cleaning the house, he enjoyed this complete relaxation time...

Watching TV, not specifically tuning into sports programs, he spent a leisurely afternoon this way... Until past 5 p.m., suddenly, an alert came with captions appearing before his eyes.

"Due to special contract player Zhang Hao changing Kobe Bryant’s career progression, congratulations to the host for receiving the unique special reward: special contract player Zhang Hao’s exclusive medal: Little Flying Hero’s Physical Pool."

"???"

...

Kobe Bryant, since returning to the United States and playing in the high school basketball league in Pennsylvania at Laurel Merion High School, has continuously made headlines, thanks to his dad, who constantly sought opportunities to showcase his boy on TV.

He was tough, playing under public pressure and opponents who disapproved his dad’s antics would vent their frustration on him, he just played on. Being nearly a year younger than other high school players, over his four years, he broke all the records in the Pennsylvania high school league, even shattering Chamberlain’s decades-long total scoring record during senior year, partially fulfilling his dad’s boasts.

After deciding to join Duke University and play under Coach K, his popularity continued to rise, attracting TV and newspaper interviews as the regular season ended and the playoffs were about to start.

When asked in an interview about why he didn’t directly leap to NBA, Kobe replied: "There’s a high school player in the NBA, he’s very good, I want to prepare well before I go there, I can’t stand having such a big gap between us."

Watching the news clip of Kobe being interviewed, Zhang Hao realized how belatedly aware he was.

Kobe’s choice to go to college was actually because he didn’t want to face him...

That’s how he interpreted Kobe’s words.

And furthermore...

"Why is it special contract player Zhang Hao changed his career progression? Why not just me? Or does he only care about my identity as a basketball player?

It’s excessive! Even after generously giving this guy season tickets!

Men..."

After some silent complaints, Zhang Hao opened the medal section.

"Little Flying Hero’s Physical Pool (Bronze) (Exclusive to Zhang Hao): In a game where Zhang Hao falls into a physical crisis state, he can restore his stamina level to 33% by absorbing sweat from his jersey, useable once per game." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
