I'm really good at shooting.

Chapter 497 I love this handsome guy
There are no impervious walls in the world.

O'Neal knew it, and Garnett soon knew it too.

The most fundamental reason why the trade between the Lakers and Timberwolves was called off was because of Sun Hao's opposition.

He didn't know why Sun Hao did that.

Because he is really confident, the combination of himself and Sun Hao will be unsolvable.

The combination of Sun Hao and Nowitzki was successful before, and he has one more skill than Nowitzki: defense.

What a great opportunity that was for him, but why... why!
Garnett shook his head, dismissing those thoughts.

Soon, another emotion emerged unconsciously.

Since Sun Hao doesn't want to be his teammate, then he will beat the Lakers and let Sun Hao, no, let the Lakers see how stupid and wrong it is not to choose him!

It's just that to do this, it will definitely not work in the Timberwolves.

It's not that the management is not strong, it's that no one really wants to come.

Agree to go to the Clippers?

But even if he goes to the Clippers, the Clippers can't beat the Lakers.

Even because of the city derby, that would just make him the same backdrop as before, but a brighter one.

His mind was constantly filtering and sifting, and the last team came to his mind.

Detroit Pistons!

The Pistons have just left the big book, and Rasheed Wallace has also declined year by year due to his age.

If the Pistons are willing to use Prince and Rasheed Wallace as bargaining chips, plus some draft picks, I believe the Timberwolves will agree.

As for the Pistons, since they won the championship in 04, they have not been able to cross the mountain of the Wizards, and they also need to change.

With Billups, Anthony, and him, the combination of the three has a clear division of labor, and they will definitely be able to break out of the East!
Such a lineup also has a good chance against the Lakers!
Oh yes, Boston is also a good choice.

Pierce and Ray Allen are players of almost the same era as him, and even the encounters are a bit similar.

It's just a pity that there is no high-quality rookie like Prince on the opposite side, otherwise he is already a member of the Celtics.

It's Detroit!
That city is also known for its iron-blooded defense, which matches his style well.

On the court, Mike James led the team to play fiercely, and off the court, Garnett kept brainstorming.

By the time the game was almost over, he had already made a decision in his heart.

In the end, the Lakers won the game 93-87.

After a fierce offensive and defensive battle, the strength of the Lakers' bench group is even better.

The teenager Millsap performed particularly well. He scored 14 points and 7 rebounds, both of which were the most on the bench.

The person who arrived first and left last in this training camp every day seized the opportunity in the first game.

Sun Hao was worried that Millsap might not be able to play well in the fiercely competitive Lakers.

Now it seems that his worries are unnecessary.

Talent determines the upper limit, and strives to determine the lower limit.

Millsap's hard-working attitude determines that he can succeed no matter where he is.

After the game, the two teams had a final handshake.

Sun Hao suddenly noticed that Garnett was looking at him... full of hostility.

? !
He looked puzzled, he didn't seem to provoke Garnett?

The only possibility is, the 58 points that year?

But how many years have passed, and he has changed teams!
But even if Sun Hao is smart, he might not be able to imagine Garnett's series of brainstorming.

He could only leave in a daze.

Anyway, Garnett is unlikely to play against him in the playoffs this season.

……

After 7 preseason games, the Lakers have no losses.

Although Hill wore a handsome suit on the bench to attract media attention every night, and even though Phil Jackson only played his starters in the first half of the game every night.

But the Lakers still won all the games.

Sun Hao is more comfortable, O'Neal is also in excellent form, and even the newly joined Millsap, Posey, Azubuike and others have performed brilliantly one after another.

The "powerful" Lakers that fans expected last season may not appear, but there is a delay, and they came a little later than expected.

The preseason is over, and the regular season is infinitely approaching.

At this time, ESPN made a wave of predictions on the strength of the teams in the new season as usual.

The Lakers top this list.

This also led to a wave of heated discussions among fans on Facebook.

Including the newly launched Twitter, there are also many people expressing their views.

Some people may easily confuse these two social software in the United States.

In fact, it is enough to understand them as Renren and Weibo.

The order of appearance in China is actually the same as that in the United States, first Facebook/Renren, then Twitter/Weibo.

Among these voices, there are obviously more doubters than supporters.

The two sides also launched a heated discussion on social media.

But one very interesting thing is that on these social media, new registered users are obviously more inclined to the Lakers.

"Hill hasn't played for the Lakers so far! The Lakers used a starter/sixth man level player in the summer and changed someone to sit on the bench!"

"And Shaq, Mourning, and Payton are all one year older! The Lakers are almost becoming a nursing home!"

"Haha, is ESPN now only evaluating strength based on preseason performance? Shouldn't the Clippers also rank first?"

"That's right. Some people may not have paid attention to it. Let me add as a ship's secret. The Clippers also won all the preseason games. Livingston averaged 15.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game!"

"You played so well in the preseason? With Livingston's performance, the new season is sure to explode! Your management is still awesome, it's not right to trade him!"

"Going off topic! Going off topic, let's continue talking about this list!"

"Actually, the most important thing is the opponents of the Lakers next season. Which one is not getting stronger?"

"At this time, a lone ranger passed by silently, and said that you continue..."

"Yes, the difficulty for the Lakers to achieve a dynasty is the most difficult in history!"

"Actually, the Lakers were barely able to defend their title last year and were lucky enough. This year, O'Neal will be slower, and the Lakers' defense will only be worse!"

"It's a pity that the deal that didn't go through in the summer, if it's 30-year-old Garnett, the Lakers still have a good chance to become a dynasty!"

"There is no medicine for regret in this world. If the Lakers trade after making such a statement, their image will be completely ruined!"

"The Lakers, it's time to come down from that position, they've been there for too long!"

"A group of losers who are only jealous, disgusting, and don't understand football at all!" A comment from new user 20060871.

"Shaq is getting older? How come you don't see him playing more relaxed in the preseason than he has in the past two seasons? You see Hill sitting on the bench, but you don't see Hill sitting on the bench. Win? Loser, you will only choose to watch the part you want to watch!" Comment from new user 20060872.

"The opponents of the Lakers have become stronger, but you can tell me which one has become stronger enough to say that they can win the Lakers? Sorry! None!" A comment from new user 20060873.

"Of course, the most important thing is Sun. You will never watch Sun Zai's performance in the final of the World Championships, and you will not see Sun's defensive improvement in the preseason. No, you don't understand Sun at all. He is now So perfect and powerful! Impeccable!" Comment from new user 20060874.

……

Sun Hao happened to be reading the comments on Facebook and Twitter.

He didn't feel much at first.

He is not Lin Gou, he can fight with black fans until dawn.

But at the end, he was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

Why is Durant's trumpet playing technique so... rough every time?
It's no wonder that in history, he was picked out for playing a trumpet, and he became a household name.

If this operation is not discovered, it will appear that others are mentally retarded.

But after reading it, he also felt a deep warmth in his heart.

Among his fans, he gave Durant the least.

But this Durant is the most fanatical about him.

Whether you say it's character or emotional intelligence, it's the truth.

"It seems that this country has to be reserved for you!"

Sun Hao also silently made a decision in his heart.

……

ESPN's list aroused heated discussions among fans, but it did not bring much negative impact.

On the contrary, it brought a lot of enthusiasm to the new season.

Or, ESPN's scheming is for this purpose.

All in all, the 2006~2007 season, before it even started, the heat has already picked up.

The Lakers opener against the Golden State Warriors.

Don't ask why the Warriors, it's Stern's fate.

The debut of the No. [-] pick, the private relationship between Sun Hao and Durant, and even the reunion between Ben and O'Neal all made this game full of highlights.

According to ESPN's pre-match survey, this game also topped the list of fans "looking forward to watching on the first day", and it was the best.

The survey, including "How do you think Durant will perform in his debut?" is also sought after by fans.

其中认为杜兰特首秀得分在10～15的占比是最高的，高达43%，5～10分的也有27%。

Obviously, the fans' attitude towards Durant is as unfavorable as it was in the draft.

There is a saying in the forum that is the best explanation:

"How can one expect a top pick who can't do an 84KG bench press?"

This is pretty much the same as in history.

In history, Durant entered the league as the second place and also encountered a lot of doubts.

Now that he has entered the league as the No. [-] pick in high school, this doubt will only increase.

……

The new season is about to start, and Sun Hao is also full of expectations.

The 2006-2007 season in history is a classic.

Although there is no scoring prosperity like 2005-2006, there are more stories than scoring.

Black eight of the Warriors;

Nowitzki won the MVP but suffered a black eight. The Mavericks "let go" the Warriors in the last game of the regular season, but the Warriors didn't let them go in the end. They staged an NBA version of "kindness to the enemy is to yourself cruelty".

Houston led 2-0 but lost to the Jazz in the tiebreaker, MM's loneliness, Chinese fans' pain;

The Jazz returned to the division finals for the first time after the "Shuangsha" era with the Warriors' assists;
Horry's hit smashed Nash's head and knocked out the Suns;

The defending champion Heat lost to the Bulls by 42 points in the first game, and was swept by the Chicagoans;
James smashed the Quartet on the stage of the Eastern Conference finals. He scored 25 points in the final moment of the Tianwangshan battle and shocked the world. Like Jordan, he overturned the Dashan Pistons that suppressed him for several years;

James seemed to be copying Jordan's way, but finally found that there was a stone Buddha in the camera of his way. After 4 fierce battles, the season was over, leaving only a big score of 0 to 4, and Duncan's famous stalk: The future is yours, but the present is mine.

……

Because of the appearance of Sun Hao, many people and teams in the league are no longer what they were before.

So many things don't happen again.

Even some things have happened.

However, this does not affect the excitement of the new season.

Because the influence of the butterfly effect is too great, even Sun Hao doesn't know how the new season will go.

The unknown is like exploring the dark forest that no one has ever gone deep into. It is always yearning and inexplicably exciting at the same time.

……

On the night of the opening game, the Staples Center was packed.

Because on this day, the arena will hang the 17th championship flag representing their official victory over the Celtics!
On this night, most of the Lakers will also receive their second ring, Sun Hao's third ring, and O'Neal's fifth championship ring!
O'Neill was the one who laughed the happiest before the game.

As long as he wins another championship, he will tie Jordan!

And Kobe, who left the Lakers, didn't have a championship!

These are enough to keep him happy for a long time.

When the Lakers players went from the locker room to the arena, the atmosphere was as happy as chewing Xuanmai, and they couldn't stop at all.

Before Sun Hao went, he chatted with Ariza for a few words.

The general meaning is to let Ariza not make dangerous moves when defending Durant.

Sun Hao didn't say this on a whim.

Now Durant is thinner than the same period in history because he has never played in the NCAA.

And Ariza is a very aggressive defensive player. The biggest black spot in his career was to drag Fernandez directly from the air, causing the latter to faint on the spot and be carried away on a stretcher.

Now that history has changed, Sun Hao doesn't want such a thing to happen again, especially when it happens to Durant, who he just planned to divide the country.

This can be regarded as putting a golden bell cover on Durant in advance.

Ariza naturally would not ignore what Sun Hao said, and he might even understand a little more.

He still knows about the rumors and private relationship between Sun Hao and Durant.

The championship ring award ceremony precedes all official ceremonies.

When the Lakers players came out, the scene was ready, and they were greeted with overwhelming cheers.

And then there was old Bath.

He seems to be in great spirits.

As the saying goes, people are refreshed on happy occasions, and the luck of the Lakers being rescued by Sun Hao seems to have made the old man recover a lot.

The Lakers players lined up after entering the arena, and the championship ring award ceremony began.

It's just that what people didn't expect was that this year's award ceremony was a little different from last year's.

The first person to go up to accept the championship ring is not the management, but the players!

As the leader of the team, Sun Hao was the first to go up!
