In today’s regular game, the Los Angeles Lakers beat the New Orleans Pelicans 112-95 at home. They allowed their opponents to score only 37 points in the second half. The defensive strength was quite impressive. Both LeBron James and Anthony Davis once again produced all-around data to lead the Lakers. Dominated the opponent.
Zhan Huang played 31 minutes in this game, efficiently scored 21 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists. He also made a domineering layup in the game. After the game, when asked whether checking in early in the big win would help him save his energy, Zhan Huang was also quite emotional, saying: “I really hope I am Justin Timberlake in that movie, and I can save time. But unfortunately I am not.”
Zhan Huang is a Hollywood movie star. He is referring to the science fiction movie “Hourly War” starring Justin Timberlake many years ago. In the film setting, humans can manipulate time at will, rewrite age, and time has become a currency of circulation.
Indeed, this may be the superpower that the 36-year-old Zhan Huang wants most. Although he can still hit peak-level statistics, he knows very well that he has reached the end of his career.
He also said that he can go from the peak of 26 to 36, but it is impossible to continue playing at 46.
“I don’t think I can fight like this at 46, and I also think my wife won’t let me fight again.”
When asked ridiculed by reporters about what he couldn’t do on the court, he said wittyly: “Yes, but I won’t tell you.”
Lakers coach Frank Vogel said that Huang Zhan’s extraordinary athletic ability is only one aspect of his talent, and the efforts he put in over the years may be even more important, so that he can maintain such “vitality and explosive power.”
