I'm really good at shooting.

So far this season, he has averaged only 15.9 points per game, and his shooting percentage is only 41%, which is obviously very abnormal.

In fact, he did this for only one purpose, that is, to get the Raptors to send him away from Toronto.

In the end, he also went to the city he wanted to go to!

Kidd, Carter, Richard Jefferson!

When the Pacers basically bid farewell to the season because of the Palace of Auburn Hills, the Nets quickly formed a trident lineup to replace their position in the East!

Chapter 376 Unprecedented and unprecedented!

"Toronto's management is as stupid as Orlando's."

In this day's training class, O'Neill turned around and complained to Sun Hao after watching the news.

Don't look at this deal with Sun Hao's eyes.

Although Carter's practice of forcing the palace broke the lower limit and caused his personal data to plummet, his influence has not diminished.

The combination of Kidd and Carter, if it was placed two years ago, it would be a proper combination of superstars.

Not even now.

What's more, they also have Jefferson who is at his peak and averaged 24+ per game this season.

It is a bit too much to say that the Big Three, but the Trident is definitely qualified.

It is not surprising that O'Neill would say that.

Originally, the Pacers fell due to the Auburn Hills Palace incident, and the Lakers lost a potential opponent.

As a result, the Nets are now filling their seats again, and the league structure has not changed!

And just like what O'Neal said, sending the leading star to reinforce the opponent in the same district is similar to the Magic sending McGrady to the Wizards.

Well, the Magic management is a piece of shit in his eyes.

Of course, Sun Hao, who is open to the sky, knows that this Nets team that appeared just like in history is actually not that strong.

In history, they have reached the Eastern Conference semifinals at most.

Now that the strength of the Eastern Conference is stronger than that of the same period in history, their prospects are even less optimistic.

And just like in history, after Paul George broke his leg, the Clippers pulled Leonard's hind legs hard. The impact of injuries on players is often greatly underestimated or even ignored.

Carter was stepped on by Bowen, and he was destined to never return to the old "UFO" who cut 50+ points with Iverson in the Eastern Conference semifinals and saved NBA ratings.

"A little more internal friction is good for us."

Moreover, Sun Hao's next words showed that his thinking angle was different from that of O'Neill.

O'Neill was stunned for a moment after listening, smiled and gave Sun Hao a thumbs up.

Everything has two sides. From another perspective, the Lakers and the Nets are in different halfs. Unless the Nets reach the finals, they will not pose a threat to the Lakers.

And once the Nets don't make it to the finals, it will be a big drain on potential opponents such as the Wizards, Pistons, and Celtics in the East.

"I heard that you plan to continue participating in the slam dunk contest this year. What moves are you going to use?"

Compared with the previous complaints, O'Neal's eyes were full of curiosity when he turned his head now, indicating that this is what he is concerned about.

This is not surprising. Although Sun Hao did not win the championship last year, his creativity was amazing.

For O'Neill, creativity is what he prefers to watch.

"not yet."

Sun Hao shook his head. He had to adapt to the Lakers when he first arrived, and O'Neal was absent afterwards, and the Lakers' record fluctuated so much, how could he think about it.

And there are still more than two months before the start of the All-Star Game, and he is fully prepared in time now.

"However, I have an idea."

Sun Hao looked at O'Neill, and the idea seemed to spring up like mushrooms after rain.

"Ok?"

O'Neill looked puzzled.

"How about I dunk you? If it succeeds, it will definitely be a perfect dunk!"

Sun Hao said enthusiastically.

In NBA history, Nate Robinson once completed the feat of leaping over "Warcraft" Howard.

That dunk also allowed Robinson to finally defeat Howard to become the slam dunk king of the year.

If he leaps over O'Neal, the visual effect will definitely explode!

"No, of course not."

But O'Neill immediately shook his head.

Play for fun, make trouble for trouble, don't joke about riding buttons!

He O'Neill does not allow others to ride on his head.

In fact, so far in his career, he has been dunked a handful of times, and there are only two records in total.

Once it was the man, Michael Yes it was I Jordan again.

The other time, it was the boss of the Nets at the time and former No. [-] pick Lang Derick Coleman.

After Coleman finished dunking, he shook his fingers excitedly, but O'Neill retaliated against him, and he was blown up every time.

Including the most classic scene of O'Neal dunking a rebound, which appeared against Coleman.

Therefore, O'Neill is very concerned about this kind of thing.

"Okay, then I can't win the slam dunk contest."

Sun Hao began to "act like a baby".

Last year's slam dunk contest proved that it is still difficult to win the championship relying on creativity alone. It is necessary to make his dunks look creative and difficult.

"No, no."

O'Neill still refused.

"I'll do it from behind."

Sun Hao hasn't given up yet.

O'Neill froze for a moment.

Sun Hao's words reminded him of something.

If you really want to talk about riding a dunk, it has never happened in the NBA, but it really happened once off the court.

And the one who did it was Kobe.

That was the 2000~2001 season, and the OK combination that had just won the championship was a sweet period.

In a training session, Kobe took advantage of O'Neal's inattention and dunked O'Neal from behind.

O'Neal had a good relationship with Kobe at the time, so he just gave Kobe a warning not to do similar things in the future.

O'Neill still shook his head.

It's not that the relationship between Sun Hao and him is not as good as Kobe and him back then.

But this is a slam dunk contest after all, under the gaze of the whole world, O'Neal can't let go of this face.

Seeing O'Neill, Sun Hao still shook his head, knowing that this idea could only remain in his imagination.

"I can pass you the ball."

Seeing Sun Hao's slightly disappointed expression, O'Neill suggested.

"It's like the lob I gave you when I was playing against the Mavericks."

O'Neill continued.

Don't tell me, he still enjoys passing the ball like that.

Sun Hao nodded. O'Neal passed the ball to himself in the slam dunk contest, which is actually pretty good after thinking about it.

After all, O'Neal doesn't give people the feeling that he is very good at passing the ball like Divac, but in fact his passing is very good.

The two reached a consensus, and then what Sun Hao thought about was what moves to use in the slam dunk contest.

This is a question worth thinking about. If you know O'Neill, he will not give him a header or a hook like Nash did last year.

……

Time flies, and it is mid-April in a blink of an eye.

Sun Hao and O'Neal practiced his slam dunk contest moves, and the Lakers gradually got better and better.

Especially after the season deepened, Phil Jackson also found the most suitable rotation for the Lakers.

At the point guard, Sun Hao is the core of the team. Among his substitutes, Spanoulis finally won the competition.

Facts have proved that the same player can play completely different roles under different coaches.

Spanoulis was almost useless under Van Gundy in history, but he entered the NBA earlier, and he can also play under Phil Jackson.

And he also competed with former Sun Hao's teammate Raul Lopez.

His offense and passing were greatly demonstrated in the game. The representative game was against the Houston team. He contributed the most 20 points and 6 assists on the bench.

Of course, his defense is as bad as it was in the Olympics.

Therefore, Jackson usually asks Finley to lead the transition from the bench, which can make up for his weakness to a certain extent.

At shooting guard, Damon Jones "surprisingly" beat veterans Joan Barry and Steve Smith.

Smith's form is mediocre, but both Jones and Joan Barry have been accurate on three-pointers this season.

Compared to old Barry, Jones' advantage is that his defense is so much better.

So after Finley was replaced, Jackson prefers to use him to partner with Sun Hao in the backcourt.

On the front line, Ariza started and Horry came off the bench.

The Lakers are lacking in this position. It is foreseeable that by the time of the trade deadline, Kupchak will make some reinforcements in this position.

As a power forward, Malone replaced Howard as the starting lineup, but given his age, Howard should still get more playing time.

In terms of statistics, Howard, who can send 13 points every night, is the sixth man of this team.

At the center position, Chris Anderson squeezed out Divac to become O'Neal's chief substitute by virtue of his ability to run and jump.

The rotation lineup is determined, and their tacit understanding and stability have also improved after playing more games.

Of course, the most important thing is between Sun Hao and O'Neal.

Since the two developed the pick-and-roll, it has become more difficult for opponents to defend.

Perhaps Sun Hao's current strength is on par with Kobe, but his fit with O'Neal is much higher than Kobe's.

It is no exaggeration to say that the degree of fit between the two is the highest ever.

Moreover, recently, perhaps because he helped Sun Hao prepare for the dunk contest, O'Neal gave Sun Hao some lobs from time to time, which made the fans hooked.

Sun Hao also showed his Los Angeles Carter's strength, did not ruin O'Neal's strikes, and frequently staged lob dunks.

In addition, Sun Hao will also send lobs to O'Neal and Anderson. For a while, the Lakers gave Los Angeles the nickname "The City of Lobs".

At this time, Ha, who played at NCAA Wake Forest University, felt a deep malice.

He suddenly felt as if his path had narrowed.

And just in the team's revenge against the Suns, O'Neal's lob made Sun Hao get the badge of "Alley Terminator"!

Alley-oop finisher: Slightly improves the ability to complete alley-oops!

Sun Hao, I'm afraid he would never have imagined that he would unlock this badge!

This makes him, a shooter, go further and further on the road to dunk!

But it's normal to think about it. After all, Sun Hao is different from Curry. He is not a pure shooter.

The continuous training in the system has continuously improved his jumping ability, and his dunk ability has also increased accordingly.
