And the score on the court was 7 to 19!

The Pistons played for more than five minutes and were already behind the Lakers by as much as 12 points!

This is the biggest difference in non-garbage time between the two teams since the finals!

Sun Hao dominated the game by himself.

Some people may say that this is just the opening, there are 48 minutes in a basketball game, and a 12-point difference is nothing in the NBA.

This seems to be no problem, but it is not completely right, because it depends on the situation.

When the two teams are evenly matched, the difference of 12 points is not small in itself, not to mention that this is the beginning of the century, and this year's finals can be called a defensive battle.

And gaining this advantage in the opening game was a huge blow to the Pistons' defensive mentality.

And the psychological advantage the Lakers built with it.

Anthony held the ball in the frontcourt and changed his shot to a breakthrough.

This adjustment is very effective. Ariza's long arms are less effective in defending against breakthroughs than in defending shots, and he is relatively young and has relatively poor defensive experience.

Comparing Ariza to Prince is what Lakers fans look forward to, but Prince only has one.

Anthony broke through Ariza's defense, saw O'Neal coming over and quickly hit the board.

The choice of this ball is very correct.

But at this moment, a figure leaped over from the weak side and slapped his shot to the backboard!

Michael Finley!

Don't think I'm such an honest man!

After O'Neal got the rebound, the Lakers played a fast break. Sun Hao was double-teamed in the fast break and gave the ball to Ariza who followed up on the right.

Ariza stopped the ball outside the three-point line, took aim and shot.

"Shh!"

He made up for his mistakes and hit a three-pointer!

It's not just Sun Hao, and it's not just the instant kill combination. After establishing a psychological advantage, the role players of the Lakers have begun to perform well!

This also became the decisive factor in the battle of Tianwang Mountain.

The anxious situation predicted by the fans did not appear. Under the leadership of Sun Hao, the Lakers gained an advantage in the opening game and continued to expand this advantage.

At the end of the three quarters, they had stretched the score to 20 points!

Although the Pistons tried hard to counterattack in the last quarter, the reality was as Barkley described. God was on the side of the Lakers. Instead of shrinking the score, it was getting bigger and bigger.

In the end, the Lakers beat the Pistons 101 to 71 in the battle of Tianwangshan.

After winning this game, they not only achieved a 3 to 2 lead on a big score, but more importantly, they have a psychological advantage.

The unbreakable defense of the Pistons was completely broken by them this time.

That allows them to return to Los Angeles for Game [-] with incredible confidence.

Sun Hao is undoubtedly the biggest contributor to winning tonight, and he played the strongest battle of his career.

He scored 19 points in the opening game, contributed 24 points in the first quarter, and scored 45 points in three quarters!

If it weren't for the garbage time in the last quarter, he would have won the first 50+ in his finals career.

But such a thing as 45 points in three quarters in the finals is unique in NBA history.

You must know that even Jordan's highest score in the finals was only 55 points.

Many people may be curious about the highest score, Elgin Baylor's 61 points is also the worst in history without a championship.

After the game, the Lakers, who already knew the result, walked towards the locker room with relaxed steps after shaking hands with the Pistons.

Sun Hao didn't leave in a hurry, he waited on the field for a while, and after Scarlett came down, he kissed Scarlett in front of the media.

Sun Hao, O'Neal and Phil Jackson attended the press conference after the game.

"A great victory, an outstanding performance, does your performance have something to do with Scarlett's presence?"

The shots of Scarlett taken by the photographer before the game, and the kiss between Sun Hao and Scarlett after the game made it difficult for reporters not to ask.

"Of course, having her on the field is a huge inspiration for me."

Sun Hao's answer caused everyone on the scene to be fed a wave of dog food.

"I will buy all away tickets for Scarlett next season."

At this moment, O'Neill suddenly picked up the microphone in front of him and said.

"That way we'll be unbeatable away from home."

Under the curious eyes of others, he added.

Well, what Phil Jackson thought about during the game, O'Neal thought of it with him and said it in advance.

This statement also caused a burst of laughter from everyone present.

"Don't ask me why it's only an away game. There is Scarlett's exclusive seat at the Staples Center."

And what O'Neill added made this kind of laughter mixed with some envious applause.

Because of Sun Hao, this is really the favorite of all Lakers for Scarlett.

After the press conference was over, Sun Hao and O'Neal walked towards the locker room together.

"When are you going to marry Scarlett?"

O'Neal asked Sun Hao.

The matter of Scarlett and Sun Hao had already been discovered by the media when Scarlett frequently appeared in the US National Lineup Arena.

Not to mention acquaintances, even if they have formally communicated, it has been more than three years now.

Counting it, it was only four years since he and his wife Shani met and dated.

You can't talk about love for too long, after talking for a long time, marriage will eventually become a formality.

"almost."

Sun Hao said with a smile.

"I have a suggestion, if we can win the championship, it will be cool if you propose on the night of the championship."

O'Neill's mind has always been active, and he's talking about things he didn't want to do in the first place.

Sun Hao glanced at O'Neill after listening.

When Scarlett brought the diamond ring before, what he thought was that he would use the championship ring to propose when the championship ring was issued in the opening game of next season.

Imagine substituting a championship ring for a diamond ring, the unprecedented approach would be particularly meaningful.

But what O'Neill said is also a solution.

After all, the intersection of Scarlett and basketball is also because of him. The meaning of the championship ring is not as good as the special moment of the championship night to some extent.

Two options, choose one of the two.

Seeing Sun Hao's reaction, O'Neill knew he would listen to what he said, so he reached out and patted Sun Hao on the shoulder.

"I look forward to seeing that scene."

Sun Hao nodded after listening.

These two plans spanned the entire offseason, but there is a common prerequisite: the Lakers have to win this year's championship.

After an 8-day road trip, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles with a 3-2 score.

There are still two days before the start of the sixth game, but the Los Angeles media are not idle for a moment, they have already blown Sun Hao's mind.

He scored 19 points in a row in the opening game and 45 points in three quarters. What Sun Hao has done is not catching up with Jordan, but surpassing him.

It's a pity that Sun Hao's surname is not Yang, otherwise he would have got a new nickname full of metaphysics.

Coupled with O'Neill's recognition of Sun Hao's status as the leader of the team, in fact, not only the media, but the city of Los Angeles is blowing Sun Hao.

On the streets of Los Angeles, you can see new graffiti, which clearly shows Sun Hao shooting a three-pointer or dunking.

You can even see that many cars have Sun Hao tattooed on them.

Basketball is not the number one sport in America, but it is in Los Angeles.

"The darling of Los Angeles" is the best description for Sun Hao now.

It can even be predicted that if Sun Hao helps the Lakers win another championship, his influence in Los Angeles will reach an unprecedented level.

The sixth game of the finals is highly anticipated.

The fans looked extremely excited when they entered the stadium in the evening, and many fans even wore the championship jerseys that the Lakers won the championship before.

"We will lift the championship trophy tonight!"

"Los Angeles will usher in a new era of basketball!"

"We have a G6 grandson, we will definitely win tonight's game!"

……

As the fans said, Sun Hao in G6 has never disappointed people. They are not only confident in this championship, but also in the team's victory tonight.

The Lakers players were very calm.

They still remember O'Neal's speech before Game [-] against the Mavericks.

To belittle an opponent before ultimately winning the game is to dig your own grave.

When the players were making final preparations in the locker room before the game, there was a commotion at the door.

When they all looked up towards the door, the person who appeared surprised them a little.

The people who came in were Kupchak and old Bass.

Old Bath's physical health is worse than before, but his face is flushed now.

It can be seen that he is in a good mood now.

When he came in, he first shook hands with Phil Jackson, then walked up to O'Neill and Sun Hao respectively, and chatted with them for a while.

"Is Scarlett here tonight?"

What's more, what Old Bass asked Sun Hao caused the team members to burst into laughter.

Sun Hao was also a little embarrassed by what Old Bass said, and nodded with a smile.

"The Lakers team is the proudest part of my life, it was and it is now."

After greeting Sun Hao, Old Bass turned his head and looked around the locker room.

He obviously came tonight on a mission.

"You guys probably don't know how bad last year's loss was for this team, the whole league was waiting to see the joke, they'd say 'Look, L.A. is finally going to die', and even I thought it was going to be a tough one. It's a rebuilding period, but you've put everyone in the face, including me, and if it wasn't for that, Los Angeles would still be a championship team."

Sun Hao nodded while listening, firstly because it was the first time he heard old Buss come to the locker room to say these things; secondly, what Old Buss said was really not wrong, especially for him, a time traveler.

In history, the Lakers fell apart after the failure of F4. Although the old Bass said "I'm sorry, my child, I can only give you so much according to the regulations, but I hope you can understand that I really want to give you more" to keep Kobe. In Los Angeles, but after the Lakers, there was a long period of reconstruction and sinking.

Even during that time, the Lakers could only retain their last dignity as a giant by relying on Kobe.

If it wasn't for the subsequent robbery-style transaction to trade Gasol, I don't know how long this situation will last.

But when Buss Jr. brought Sun Hao to the Lakers last summer, everything has changed dramatically.

If the Lakers can really win the championship this year, then the discussion of the Lakers will no longer be about the reconstruction period, but how many championships the instant killing combination can win, and whether they can help the Lakers complete the match against the Celtics. The total number of championships surpassed.

In the current historical statistics, the Celtics rank first among all NBA teams with 16 championships, while the Lakers have only 14.

"You've shown all the qualities I know a championship should have, and you've beaten all of the best teams in history. Now you know the last step, and I look forward to seeing you finish it. scene."

Because of the background he said, he could fully hear the old Bass' expectations for this championship.

"When I came here just now, Mickey told me that you usually use a unique way to boost morale."

Old Buzz said, clenched his fists and raised them forward.

There was a cry in the locker room, and the players all stood up one after another, and then moved the ball closer to Old Bath's hand.

Old Bath led them to shout slogans in person, which is really meaningful.

"The Lakers Championship!"
