The world's best combo guard

Chapter 193 190 [Grath and Resentment]

For basketball fans all over the league and around the world, the game between the Lakers and the Heat on Christmas Day is definitely worth looking forward to.

As for the Lakers players, everyone also tacitly said that for the upcoming game, everyone is preparing for the game with all their strength, and even this kind of preparation has reached the playoff level in Li Hao's eyes.

Of course Li Hao knew why.

Because the team leader is Kobe Bryant, and there is a Shaquille O'Neal in the upcoming Miami Heat.

At this juncture, with Kobe's personality, he will definitely fight his opponent to the end in this game. As other Lakers players, they must cooperate with the leader. This is one of the potential survival rules of the NBA locker room.

In fact, for Li Hao, he is also looking forward to the upcoming game. He will not pay too much attention to the sharp confrontation between the two enemies, Kobe and O'Neal, but he is more interested in facing Dwyane Wade. interest.

Like Li Hao in the new season, just as people predicted at the end of last season, Dwyane Wade in the new season also ushered in an explosion.

So far in the new season, whether it is the team record or personal data, Dwyane Wade's performance is fully worthy of people's expectations of him.

In people's eyes, the 03 rookie has played so far, Li Hao of the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James of Cleveland, Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat, Chris Bosh of the Toronto Raptors, plus a Denver Nuggets Carmelo Anthony is definitely an All-Star.

Among these All-Stars, Li Hao's performance and Dwyane Wade's performance are undoubtedly more convincing in terms of overall performance ability.
After all, from the perspective of personal data alone, several people should be equal. Even if Li Hao, who has the best data, is excluded, LeBron James' data can definitely be compared with Dwyane Wade.

But if you add the team record, if you look at it comprehensively, there is no doubt that Dwyane Wade is better than LeBron James.

No way, Cleveland can't equip LeBron James with a strong lineup such as the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat in a short time.

Dwyane Wade is playing very well in the new season, and Li Hao has heard of it, so he is looking forward to this kind of matchup, and he enjoys the feeling that good people meet opponents.

Perhaps, in Li Hao's view, facing the competition with an outstanding player of the same age as Dwyane Wade will benefit him a lot!

Wanting to face Dwyane Wade head-on, for Li Hao, the primary goal is naturally to win the game.

Therefore, in this invisible competition, the entire Lakers team is immersed in the preparations.

They didn't start from Los Angeles until the first day of the game, and then arrived in Miami.

And maybe everything is predestined, on the first day Li Hao and the others went to Miami, Li Hao ushered in a very important moment in his life.

Ling Sixue, who was pregnant for ten months, finally gave birth, "(⊙o⊙) wow"

The crisp baby's voice made Li Hao feel like a lifetime away at that moment, and it also made him cry with joy.

son.

A fat boy who weighs 6.5 catties.

At that moment, perhaps for Li Hao, this was the most unforgettable moment in his life.

With the joy of becoming a father, Li Hao was so proud when he went to Miami to face the Christmas battle.

In Li Hao's own words, even for the sake of his newborn son, he will go all out in this Christmas battle.

To be honest, Kobe is very grateful for Li Hao's actions. He is very grateful that Li Hao can participate in the Christmas game when his son is just a day old. He asked for leave, but Li Hao didn't, and because of Li Hao's presence, he had stronger confidence in the next game.

After all, Kobe knows very well that the Miami Heat this season is not a soft persimmon. As of now, they are the strongest team in the Eastern Conference, whether it is the team record or game performance.

For some reason, the Heat, who are destined to sit at home, will not lose this game easily.

Therefore, if you want to get rid of that bastard Shaq, the Lakers with all players are undoubtedly the most confident.

As we all know, Li Hao is one of the absolute core of the Los Angeles Lakers. Whether he is on the court or not, the Lakers are completely two teams.

Therefore, in this situation, Li Hao can accompany him to fight side by side. From Kobe's heart, perhaps the relationship between him and Li Hao has surpassed the relationship between teammates on the court.

Kobe had to admit that in his heart, Li Hao was like a good brother.

.........

"Thanks, honestly, it's great, you know, I'm still very young, but this feeling is really good, I think it will make me mature quickly, lol"

At Miami Airport, the Lakers who got off the plane were interviewed by the media.

In front of the camera, Li Hao generously admitted the news that he was going to become a father yesterday, and he also said that this is a very important moment in his life.

"I don't want to deny it, of course I want to be there with my wife and my kids, but you know, it's Christmas and I have to be with my teammates, I'm a pro and sometimes you have to be like that. do, you have no choice"

When a reporter asked Li Hao why he worked so hard instead of staying in Los Angeles to accompany his wife and children, Li Hao also expressed regret that as a professional player, he must behave more professionally. Benefit.

And in the end, not surprisingly, the reporter brought the topic to the upcoming game against the Heat.

As soon as the reporter came up, he raised a very sensitive topic, that is, what do you think of Kobe and Shaquille O'Neal meeting as opponents on the court for the first time after so many years of cooperation.

Obviously, these journalists are provocative.

But Li Hao's reaction was also very fast. He immediately said that in his opinion, this is normal. The NBA is a commercial league. Sometimes it only takes a moment for players to change from teammates to opponents. This is not surprising.

I have to admit that Li Hao's answer made the reporters shake their heads regretfully. Maybe they expected this kind of result. Except for the person involved, maybe the other players of the two teams would not say too much about this issue. What.

"Next Question"

Afterwards, the reporters did the same thing, and after the mouths of other players in the Lakers channel did not get the answers they most wanted, they really found Kobe.

But I didn't expect that they would get nothing from Kobe. Kobe went straight to the next question and completely blocked the reporters' mouths.

But in fact, it's just like that.

The fact that Kobe and O'Neal turned against each other has become common knowledge at the beginning of this season. In this case, even if Kobe is unwilling to answer this topic, it is difficult to prevent people from discussing or even "expecting" the confrontation between the two on the court.

And perhaps among these people, those Lakers fans who have witnessed the sweet years of the ok combination and won three consecutive championships feel the most uncomfortable.

They will feel that all this is really a pity, and they will miss it very much.

Among them, Li Hao's father-in-law, Ling Feng, is one of them. As one of the diehard fans of the Los Angeles Lakers, Ling Feng has definitely witnessed the situation when the ok combination joined hands to rule the league.

At that time, Ling Feng was like other Lakers diehards. They never thought that the OK combination would disintegrate in the near future. It even sounded a little crazy.

But it did happen.

In the offseason before the start of the season, a blockbuster transaction in the transfer market shattered the beautiful imagination of the diehard Lakers, and also brought light to other teams in the league in disguise.

To be honest, the identity of a "fan" is really amazing. After so many years in the mall, what scene have you not seen?
But to be honest, Ling Feng was still a little sad when he heard the news that the ok group was officially disbanded.

Ling Feng would definitely be proud of his son-in-law Li Hao, because even he didn't expect that Li Hao in the new season would be so outstanding.

Originally, he thought the same as many people. After Shaquille O'Neal left, the strength of the Lakers would definitely be severely weakened. Maybe the goal of the Lakers in the new season is to advance to the playoffs.

But he did not expect that with the outbreak of Li Hao, the Lakers in the new season will have the best start in team history under the joint leadership of Li Hao and Kobe's purple and gold twin stars. So far, the Lakers have played 26 games this season. It's not even a defeat.

Honestly, it's horrible.

As a well-known dynasty team in NBA history, and located in a first-tier city like Los Angeles, this makes the Zijin Army one of the protagonists of the Christmas game almost every season.

From this perspective, Ling Feng is very proud of being a Lakers fan, and he also hopes that the team can play the Christmas game every season.

But this year's Christmas game, he would rather hope that the Lakers don't fight, because the opponent is the Miami Heat, because there is a Shaquille O'Neal in the Miami Heat.

Ling Feng really didn't want to see the once invincible combination turn against each other on a stage like the Christmas battle, because no matter who wins or loses in the end, he won't be happy.

Therefore, even if Ling Feng has time these two days, he doesn't plan to watch the game live, just like what he told Li Hao jokingly in private, he would rather sit in front of the TV and hold his newborn baby The grandson came to support Li Hao, and he was unwilling to go to the scene to watch Kobe and O'Neal's passionate collision. From this perspective, Li Hao, a son-in-law, must be considerate of him, a diehard Lakers loyalist.

.........

The Los Angeles Lakers in the away game will never get cheers at the American Airlines Arena.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, when the Lakers arrived at the American Airlines Arena, the entire arena immediately greeted them with waves of boos and abuse.

This atmosphere was most evident in the player appearance ceremony before the game.

Not surprisingly, as the absolute protagonist of tonight's game, Bryant's voice almost overshadowed everything else.

And Peter Pan was obviously prepared in his heart, facing the boos and abuse of the away fans one after another, his expression was obviously indifferent.

Besides Kobe, the second Lakers player to receive "special care" is naturally Li Hao.

Speaking of which, Heat fans hate Li Hao no less than Kobe. After all, in last season's Christmas game, Li Hao used a murderous three-pointer at Staples to make their Michael Jordan feel bad. Enweide came back with a feather.

In addition, at the end of the season, Li Hao beat Wade again in the competition for the best rookie, which made Heat fans hate Li Hao even more.

Hearing the boos and insults all over the court, Li Hao also had an expression of indifference, because at this time he was thinking of O'Neal. It was hard for him to imagine that the next time the two teams played against the Lakers at home, the Lakers fans would How will he "greet" O'Neill, and by then, O'Neill may be the real "mixed flavors"!

It was a tacit understanding. During the warm-up session before the start of the game, the players of the two teams did not say hello, because everyone knew the special reason for this game. When the leaders of both sides did not act, it was difficult for the other players on both sides to start.

Even for Lamar Odom and Caron Butler, this was their home game last season.

In a certain area of ​​the stands of the American Airlines Arena, Pat Riley appeared in a low-key manner. To be honest, the expression of this famous iron-blooded godfather in NBA history is a bit complicated at this time.

Because when he watched the players of the two teams on the court doing warm-up activities, he felt that all this was really incredible.

Just a season ago, the Miami Heat were a recognized team lingering on its last legs, looking for opportunities to rise.

At that time, the Los Angeles Lakers, led by the all-powerful OK combination, seemed to be the most eye-catching three-peat dynasty team in the league.

But now?

The Miami Heat have not only risen, but also have their own ok combination, while the opposite Los Angeles Lakers still seem to be qualified to be proud of the world.

“What a wonderful cycle”

Pat Riley shook his head weakly, maybe this is the meaning given by the "special business league" of the NBA! .

In a certain area of ​​the arena, the TNT commentary booth had already quarreled, and Barkley and Kenny Smith once again confronted each other.

And the reason for their confrontation this time is also very simple, that is, who will win the final victory tonight between the Lakers and the Heat.

Barkley, who was completely conquered by Li Hao after the finals of last season, sided with Li Hao's Lakers this time without any surprise.

Barkley felt that the Lakers, who had won 26 consecutive victories, could easily defeat the Heat. After all, the twin star combination of Li Hao and Kobe was too terrifying.

But Kenny Smith, who has always been very supportive of Li Hao, unexpectedly sided with the Heat in this game. Kenny Smith believes that the inside line will be a very critical point in this game between the Lakers and the Heat. Lamar in the new season Although Odom performed very well, when he faces "Shaq O'Neal tonight", it may be really difficult to compete.

Kenny Smith emphatically mentioned "Shaq O'Neal tonight", the meaning is self-evident, Kobe is thinking about proving himself, why isn't Shaq O'Neal?
