The morning after the game against the Heat, Zhang Hao studied while also catching up on news about Duncan. The hype was as intense as that around Oden in contemporary times!
But seeing Logo Man and the Cardinal praising Duncan together, Zhang Hao felt something was off.
The Cardinal seemed genuinely committed to drafting Duncan, and Zhang Hao recalled that the Cardinal even helped the Celtics devise a strategy to build around Duncan. However, they failed to secure the top draft pick, which went to the Spurs, who had five more wins, rendering all plans futile.
But Logo Man, wasn't he targeting O'Neal?
Signing O'Neal to trade for the top pick and select Duncan? This move...
But it just didn't seem right!
And Zhang Hao didn't recall anything like this happening in his memory.
At 10 a.m., Zhang Hao flew with the team to Atlanta, the city for their next away game.
By 5:08 p.m., Zhang Hao received a notification.
