Off the court, the competition was relentless. The fight for the top spot was intense, but during the game, O'Neal and Anfernee Hardaway had the same target on the net.
Compared to those snide remarks about him not training and competing with him in things O'Neal didn't want to do, Anfernee Hardaway was quite endearing.
Anfernee Hardaway plainly stated his desire to compete for the top spot, and off the court, the competition was simply about who had more money. O'Neal liked this straightforwardness.
On the other hand, Zhang Hao knew that both of them wanted to compete with him both on and off the court, the reason... well, when playing against Hill, the two of them were just as energetic.
Because they were all superstar rookies who became All-Star vote leaders in their debut seasons.
"But I'm not as strong as Hill!"
Seeing these two opponents, Zhang Hao felt immense pressure rolling in.
Yet he also eagerly anticipated facing off against them, his emotions incredibly complex.
