I'm really good at shooting.

Chapter 447 James: If you want to become the strongest, you must defeat the strongest!

43 points, only, the content in this title is definitely at the level of the editor-in-chief of UC in the future, and it has earned enough fans' attention and saliva.

We must know that 40+ points are points that most NBA players can't reach, but when it comes to Sun Hao's side, it becomes "only".

However, considering Sun Hao's scoring performance in past games, this is only reasonable.

So at this special time point, such news headlines make people have to sigh with emotion: What a talent.

The outside world is discussing this "only", but the Lakers are in trouble.

In the past few games, except for Sun Hao, the state of the other Lakers players was a bit too poor.

That kind of "Sun Hao dependence" was unexpected, and it also gave Jackson a headache.

Because this kind of problem does not exist for individual players, it will be quite troublesome to solve.

But when Jackson wanted to show the players another movie, or perform a special meditation, the problem solved itself.

There is only one reason: O'Neal is back.

In O'Neal's first game back, the Lakers' opponent was the Magic.

The Magic have been one of the most surprising teams of the season.

After running in with Howard, Arenas played the best performance of his career this season. He has averaged 29 points and 6 assists per game this season, which has confirmed his nickname of "Little Sun Hao".

And Howard averaged 17.1 points, 12.3 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game in his second NBA season.

This Magic team is now ranked fourth in the East, and their growth rate is amazing.

Even Sun Hao felt that this Magic team would achieve results earlier than in the same period in history.

A very simple reason, similar to the previous Bucks, now the Magic have Howard and Turkoglu, the biggest change comes from the point guard, who has been upgraded from Nelson to Arenas.

It's like a car engine changing from L4 to V6. If it can't achieve results earlier, it is unreasonable no matter how you look at it.

However, against the Lakers who have been "out of shape" recently, this game was a bit "unexpected".

The Magic trailed the Lakers from the beginning, and they were defeated in the last three quarters, and the big score was massacred.

Arenas struggled when he met Sun Hao, who had a similar style and suppressed himself in all aspects;

What's more terrible is Howard, who met the "big shark" who had just come back, and he was in a mess on both offense and defense;

Both leading stars were restrained or even suppressed, and this result is reasonable.

But apart from this, the point that fans feel the most is: O'Neal is back, and the rest of the Lakers seem to be able to play again all of a sudden.

芬利17分，沃克15分5板5助攻，佩顿12分3助攻3抢断，阿里扎11分，湖人队6人得分上双！

In history, the Lakers team led by Kobe Bryant, the same group of people, played at the playoff level no matter how they played, but once Gasol arrived, they were directly favorites for the championship.

Basketball is a sport of five people. If there are two superstars among these five people, the change it brings will be a qualitative change.

This is also the reason why Nowitzki's 2011 championship in history is highly praised, because it is unique.

It is a pity that the score between the two teams was a bit early. Sun Hao scored 27 points in three quarters, and the 40+ consecutive games were fixed at 7 games, which is only 2 games away from Jordan's record.

"It has nothing to do with me. You should talk to the Magic players."

After the game, Phil Jackson's "dumping the pot" made the reporters laugh.

"Breaking records is just icing on the cake. The only thing that helps is Shaq's comeback, and that's the most important thing."

Sun Hao didn't care at all, and what he didn't say was that after being a father and mother for so long, he can finally return to the paddling state of the season.

Some people may think that one game can't explain anything, but the next game between the Lakers and the Nets proved this point again.

After the Nets experienced last season's run-in, the performance of the Trident is obviously better than last season. Now their record ranks third in the Eastern Conference, and their strength should not be underestimated.

However, the Lakers suppressed the Nets from the beginning, and eventually took the opponent lightly.

The most emotional thing for those who watched the game is that the difference in internal strength between the two teams is too great.

The Nets' Kidd, Carter, and Jefferson tridents are all outside. This configuration will inevitably mean that the inside is weak.

If they want to go further in the playoffs, it is almost necessary to seek reinforcement inside.

Of course, after two consecutive games, the fans also realized how much O'Neal's comeback would help the Lakers. The Lakers' inside line changed from an absolute disadvantage to an absolute advantage.

The Lakers' record recovery is back on track, but the most eye-catching team in January is not the Lakers, but the Mavericks and Nuggets.

People are the most interesting creatures in the world, just take Kobe for example.

When Sun Hao scored 62 points, Kobe responded with 3 points in 58 quarters without hesitation, but when Sun Hao scored 81 points, he worked hard and knew that he could not surpass, so he played with peace of mind.

Some people will say that Kobe's character is destined that he will not give up easily, but people are not stupid, and there are two concepts of hard work and impossible.

As a result, the Lone Ranger team was on the right track.

Facts have also proved that with the rapid growth of Josh Howard, Daniels, Harris and others, the strength of the Mavericks team with strong starting substitutes has reached a peak this season.

In fact, the Mavericks in this period of history are themselves a championship team. If it weren't for the excessive free throws won by Wade under the hand-check rule, they would have won the championship next season.

The difference between this Mavericks team and that Mavericks team now is that Terry has become Kobe.

In terms of ability alone, it has been improved by at least two levels.

They achieved a proud record of 1 wins and 12 loss in January, seizing the opportunity of O'Neal's absence of the Lakers' record ups and downs, and overtook them to the top of the Western Conference in one fell swoop.

The situation of the Nuggets is somewhat different from that of the Mavericks.

The biggest difference comes from James.

James went crazy in January. He averaged 1 points, 34 rebounds and 8.1 assists per game, and his shooting percentage reached 6.4%. Among them, the monthly scoring average led the league!

Under his leadership, the Nuggets also had an excellent record of 11 wins and 2 losses, and he was also elected as the Western Conference Player of the Month in January without any suspense.

In a small way, the influence of Hand-check has ushered in the scoring prosperity for scorers, and players with a breakthrough style of play like James have benefited a lot.

In a big way, after experiencing a somewhat "tepid" performance in the first two years of his career, James finally began to explode in his third season after entering the league.

This also allowed the media to re-focus the spotlight on the "chosen son" who said he would defeat Sun Hao when he entered the league.

"Is your outburst in January related to beating the Lakers at the end of December?"

ESPN made an exclusive interview with James, and the reporter asked curiously.

Until then, many people paid attention to his defeat of Sun Hao.

"Yeah, that motivates me, I know Sun is No. 1 in the league now, but it motivates me to know that I can do it."

"Defeat League No.1."

"Yes, beat League No.1."

James' answer is very similar to when he first entered the league. More than two years later, his maturity is written on his face, but his ambition has not changed.

"What kind of player do you think Sun is?"

The reporter asked a question that many people have not asked.

As soon as James entered the league, he was labeled as the Chosen Son who aimed to defeat Sun Hao, but few people paid attention to the relationship between him and Sun Hao.

"Perfect player."

James' answer made the reporter a little surprised.

"Perfect?"

"Yes, perfect. Before entering the league, I thought Michael was the most perfect player, but Sun has played post-ups this season. He knows everything Michael can do, and he can also make three-pointers.

I'm not saying that Sun is already better than Michael, you know there is no such thing as the best player, but if you ask me now who is the perfect player, my answer would be Sun. "

James' answer is full of "emotional intelligence", but his message is also very clear.

His idol has changed from Jordan to Sun Hao.

"But you still want to beat him?"

"Yes, this is not a conflict, because if you want to be the strongest, you must beat the strongest."

James followed up with an emphatic answer.

This interview was later reported by the media.

When Sun Hao saw it, he couldn't help but want to give James a thumbs up.

Not only because of James' evaluation of him, although those evaluations do sound reliable.

But more importantly, James' ambition made him feel more and more that the real James would be different from the one in history.

According to this ambition, James has a good chance to become the Nowitzki in history.

Time flies, and it is the end of January in a blink of an eye.

The starting list for the 2006 NBA All-Star voting was finally released, and the league also announced the list of substitutes and individual games shortly thereafter.

This season has been a heyday for scorers, and this All-Star Game feels like another stellar gathering since 2000.

Eastern starters: Iverson, McGrady, Carter, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming;

How could Iverson be missing in the heyday of the scorer? Iverson has shot 45% so far, the second highest in his career, averaging 33 points per game, a career high.

With the help of Paul, Yi Jianlian's performance has continued to improve. So far, he has averaged 20.2 points and 9.1 rebounds per game. With such data and his Chinese identity, it is not surprising that he was selected as the starter.

Substitutes: Arenas averaging 29 points per game, Billups, Wade (27 points per game), Pierce, Anthony, Bosh, Ben.

West side: Sun Hao, Kobe, James, Duncan, O'Neal.

The east is star-studded, and the west is star-studded.

Needless to say, Sun Hao scored 62 points in a single game, 81 points in a single game, and now ranks first in the league with an average of 34.6 points per game. The "League No. 1" in James' mouth is worthy of the name.

Bryant averaged 31.7 points per game, also a career high.

Because of James' outstanding performance in January, his scoring average has soared to 1 points per game, only 31.2 points less than Kobe!

Duncan and O'Neal are rock-solid, with five scheduled Hall of Fame superstars.

What's more cruel is that Nash, Nowitzki, and Garnett all missed the start!

Sun Hao is in the west, and James is in the west again. This starting is not so difficult.

So this is completely predictable how luxurious the West's bench group will be.

Nash, Parker, Baron Davis, Ray Allen, Stoudemire, Garnett, Nowitzki.

Brand led the Clippers to perform well this season, scoring 24+10, but still unfortunately missed the All-Star, which shows the intensity of competition.

In terms of individual events, Sun Hao will still represent Los Angeles in the shooting star, and defending his title will be his only goal.

Nowitzki once again announced his participation in the three-point contest, which will be a highlight of the game.

The most watched slam dunk contest, Sun Hao still will not participate, and James also withdrew from the game, which made the star of the game dim, but fans still have something to watch. Nate Robinson, who is only 1 meters tall and nicknamed Little Tudou.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is mid-February, and the All-Star Weekend will begin soon.

This time the All-Stars will be held in Washington.

The Wizards have performed strongly this season and now rank first in the league.

This time the All-Star Game fans are naturally looking forward to it.

Especially Maddie.

McGrady's talent has always been praised by everyone, but there have not been many hard honors.

Although due to changes in history, he broke the spell of "first-round virgin" last year after he arrived at the Wizards, but he did not win the Eastern Conference championship in the end.

He lacks hard honors, and this All-Star home game is his best chance.

On this point, the All-Stars in the East are also tacit.

It can be foreseen that when it comes to the All-Star game, don't be surprised if there is a scene where McGrady is "fed"; this kind of sophistication is not uncommon in the All-Star game.

Of course, it is conceivable how difficult it is for the East to win this year. The big players in the West who started 30 seasons with [-]+ in the first three seasons are in charge, and the ball may not be enough.

The All-Star Weekend officially kicked off. The first day is the Masters Game and the Rookie Game, both of which are not held in the main stadium.

Sun Hao and Yi Jianlian appeared on the field together.

Scarlett did not go to Washington with Sun Hao because the filming of "Buried Alive" reached the critical end stage, and Yi Jianlian succeeded in "upper position".

Yi Jianlian is also in a good mood. He was selected as the All-Star starter for the first time in his career. Although he still has the honor of being a Chinese, his performance is more than enough to be a substitute even if he can't make the starter.

But the two of them were not the only ones watching the game. Not long after the two of them sat down, someone ran over on their own initiative.

"Hey, LeBron."

Sun Hao smiled and stretched out his hand to James. What James said in the interview before made him feel good about James.

After shaking hands with Sun Hao, James sat down.

With Sun Hao here, Wade and Anthony can be thrown aside first.

"LeBron, aren't you afraid that Michael will trouble you when you say those words?"

After chatting for a while, Yi Jianlian smiled and said to James.

Now Yi Jianlian can also joke.

James shrugged, then let out a wicked laugh.

"You seem to be talking about me?"

Just then, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice appeared.

Said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, Jordan appeared behind them with the most disgusting expression in the world.

James' laughter died away in an instant.

This is difficult.
