I'm really good at shooting.

The day before the start of the season, the Lakers are doing their final practice.

During the training, Sun Hao noticed that Phil Jackson was writing something in his notebook.

At first, he thought Jackson was taking tactical notes like other coaches.

But the general notes do not have to be so diligent.

After the training was over, he couldn't help running over to Jackson to have a look, only to realize that he was actually...well, writing a diary.

Zen, journaling, this Phil Jackson was really... different.

"I love writing books."

But Jackson's temper is also really good, after seeing Sun Hao watching, he explained with a smile.

Sun Hao suddenly realized after listening.

He suddenly remembered that Jackson seemed to like writing and selling books in his history.And his autobiography is selling well.

He remembered Howard Exley, too.

Jackson is writing a diary to collect material to write a book.

The guy loves to collect stories and tell them stories.

Eisley went to Utah to play last season, and I don't know how he is doing there now.

"You can also write and document your life, and you know your autobiography will be a hit in the future."

Jackson said with a smile.

Sun Hao nodded after hearing this.

Unlike the previous Zen studies, he thought Jackson's suggestion was good.

ps: There is a new chapter today.

Chapter 361 What is the Pacific Ocean!

Because of the addition of the Bobcats, the league also redivided the season before it started.

Originally, the league consisted of four divisions, but now it is divided into six divisions, three each in the east and west.

Such a change also means that there will be some changes in the playoff rankings.

Originally, as long as they locked in the first place in the competition area, they would be guaranteed to be ranked in the top two in their respective divisions.

But now, the top spot in the division can only ensure the top three.

This change is an improvement in game fairness.

The Lakers are divided into the Pacific Division. The teams in the same area are the Warriors, Clippers, Suns, and Kings.

According to the rules, they will play against opponents in the same division four times in a season, three times against opponents in the same division but not in the same division, and twice against opponents in different divisions.

In other words, in order to achieve good results in the new season, the Lakers have to achieve a good record in confrontations with opponents in the same district such as the Suns and Kings.

This division is not bad for the Lakers.

The Clippers are perennially weak, the Warriors are a fringe team in the playoffs, and only Sun Hao knows that the Suns will rise, and the Kings are also a bit late.

The prospects for the new season of the Lakers are still very optimistic.

Of course, they have to play the opening game well first.

……

On November 11, the curtain of the 2~2004 season officially kicked off.

There are a total of 6 games to be played on this day, of which the two most concerned by fans.

One is the Pistons at home against the Mavericks, and the other is the game between the Lakers and the Wizards.

The game between the Pistons and the Mavericks started first.

The attention of this game is no less than that of the Lakers and Wizards.

The Lone Ranger Kobe, his regular season debut after teaming up with Nowitzki, the impact of the new rules on the defending champion Pistons, etc., are all things to watch.

Before the start of the game, the championship award ceremony was also held at the scene.

This is the first time the Pistons won the championship trophy after many years. Although it is rare, the grand occasion is still worse than that of the Mavericks last year.

Including the investment in the championship ring, it should be less.

But this does not affect the mood of the Pistons players and fans.

Look at the warmth and innocence of Anthony's smile, and you know what it means to the players of this team.

This is the first championship for all players on this team!

The same is true for the fans. After all, the last time they won the championship was in 1990, 14 years ago.

Many fans at that time were already old, and these new fans have not yet witnessed the fans winning the championship.

It's a great day for Detroit.

However, this beautiful day did not last until the end, because a hero appeared in the Palace of Auburn Hills tonight.

Not Peter Pan, but the Lone Ranger!Lone Ranger Kobe!

After being swept by the Pistons last season, Kobe held his breath for a summer.

Holding this breath, he conducted targeted training again in summer.

He first found Alexander of the Wizards, a perimeter defender with excellent wingspan who worked hard one-on-one.

Immediately after the start of the season training camp, he asked Johnson to arrange for Bell to train alone with himself.

Kobe's personality is very paranoid, and his paranoia allows him and people like O'Neal to form a death feud.

But sometimes you have to say that paranoid people have perseverance that others can't imagine.

This is why Kobe can evolve one season at a time.

The result is that against Prince, who embarrassed him in the finals of last season, Kobe swept away the previous decline and gained the upper hand.

Although the Pistons double-teamed from time to time, Kobe's efficiency didn't seem to improve much, but he couldn't hold back to score.

And the benefits of the new rules to Bryant are also visible to the naked eye.

After being unable to put his hands on Kobe, Prince's breakthrough against Kobe was obviously a bit powerless.

As a result, after the whole game, Kobe made 30 of 15 shots and scored 43 points!

And under his leadership, the Mavericks also defeated the Pistons 91 to 81, successfully breaking the good day of the Detroiters.

In the forum after the game, Kobe's fans have blown up.

"You are all blackmailing my department, saying that he prevented Shaq, and it turns out that Shaq prevented my department!"

"This game really slapped Kupchak and Bass in the face. Look, this is the Kobe they sent. They are destined to regret it forever!"

"I think my department should be the real top five shooting guards. My department has three championship rings, while Sun only has one!"

"Don't say any more that my department's championship is all due to Shaq, isn't Sun also relying on Dirk? Look, this season my department will win another championship with Dirk!"

……

When the time came to 2004, the speed of information dissemination was much more developed than when Sun Hao first joined the league.

There is a time difference in the game in the West, and those words in the fan forum quickly reached O'Neill's ears.

O'Neill exploded with anger.

For the first time after Sun Hao arrived at the Lakers, he saw O'Neal angry.

If it weren't for the fact that there were teammates around, Sun Hao felt that O'Neill would definitely smash the cabinet in front of him.

God knows how deep O'Neill's grievances with Kobe have been in the past few years with such a good temper.

The others obviously didn't see O'Neill like this, and they didn't dare to go up to talk or strike up a conversation.

Even Pistachio Damon Jones didn't dare to say anything to ease the tension.

At this time, Sun Hao got up and walked to O'Neill.

"Shaq, remember what I told you before? Let everyone see tonight how terrifying the big sharks in the Pacific are."

Sun Hao didn't talk much, but he talked about what O'Neal wanted most in his heart.

Yeah, let those guys see if Shaq is getting old or because Kobe guarded me!

After talking with O'Neill, Sun Hao turned around and took out another thing from his schoolbag.

Not his thermos, but that golden Olympic gold medal.

His move attracted the attention of everyone in the locker room.

"This is the championship medal I got in Athens, I bring it not to show off, but to tell all of us that nothing is impossible, this is our first season together, but I believe We can reproduce the glory of the Lakers and the glory of the purple and gold!"

Sun Hao's words were still not many, but they quickly ignited the enthusiasm of the Lakers players.

Don't think that Sun Hao's words with the protagonist's aura are more contagious, but that gold medal is real.

In history, after Kobe won the gold medal in the Olympic Games in 2008, he brought the gold medal to the locker room every day to encourage his teammates.

In the end, the Lakers team successfully won the championship trophy in the 2007-2008 season after failing in the 2008-2009 season.

Therefore, don't underestimate the appeal of Olympic gold medals to athletes.

After all, this represents the player's highest honor in the World Series.

Moreover, it's not just Kobe who wants to prove himself wholeheartedly, the Lakers also need it.

After the failure of F4, the image of the Lakers can be said to have collapsed to the end, and they also need redemption.

Having mobilized O'Neal and his teammates, Sun Hao gave full play to his "coach" ability.

Now, just wait for the game to start.

The Staples Center was packed.

The combination of Sun Hao and O'Neal is already exciting, plus Sun Hao's popularity brought by Uncle Drew this past summer.

You may not believe it, but Sun Hao's popularity in Los Angeles has already surpassed Kobe's even though he is new here.

During the warm-up before the game, Sun Hao was given plenty of shots.

For the home team, Sun Hao is the focus of everyone's attention tonight.

At the end of the warm-up, Sun Hao and Yao Ming greeted each other in the midfield.

The Chinese Derby, they encountered in the game, this process is inevitable.

It's just that Sun Hao always felt a little guilty when he greeted Yao Ming this time.

Yao Ming just made history with himself this past summer and helped the men's basketball team win the Olympic championship, but in the NBA, they are rivals.

And just not long ago, he said that he wanted O'Neal to prove that he was still a big shark inside.

Yao Ming is probably the one who suffers.

No way, the old rules, we can only sacrifice Yao Ming!

After the warm-up, the scene entered the opening ceremony.

The visiting team, the Wizards, took the lead in introducing the game.

Tyronn Lue, Hamilton, McGrady, LaFrentz, Yao Ming!

The starting lineup of the Wizards, except that Lu is slightly weaker, the internal and external collocation is quite reasonable.

ESPN ranked them fourth, not only considering the two cores of Yao Mai.

Sun Hao's eyes were also full of attention.

Don't think that Yao McDang is the core, and Van Gundy is also coaching, just equate this Wizards team with the Houston team in history.

The third master Hamilton, the space insider LaFrentz, and Alexander and Nelson on the bench, the configuration of this team is far better than that of the Houston team.

The Lakers' opening game will not be too easy.

After the away team plays, the home team will follow.
