I'm really good at shooting.

But in the video room, many people thought that Jackson was going to let them meditate again.

Sun Hao also thought so, and he actually felt the pressure from the team members, so it would be good to meditate and relax.

However, when he really got to the video room, he found that things were a little different from what he had imagined.

Jackson did not turn off the lights, draw the curtains and light cigarettes as in the past, but directly arranged for the players to watch movies.

That's right, watching a movie.

Jackson's approach is sometimes really unpredictable.

Then, Sun Hao has watched this movie.

It's not that Sun Hao watched countless movies in his previous life, but that this movie is too famous.

"Scent of a Woman".

The most classic part of this film is the tango dance that Sfalan Zhongxiao invited Donna to the famous tango dance song "Por.una.cabeza".

That segment is the segment that can give people goosebumps.

Including this time, he was still uncontrollably excited when he saw the two people dancing in the music.

Of course, the classic tango dance is not the whole of this movie. There are still many things to be conveyed by this classic movie that won three Oscars.

That is, after watching the movie, Jackson said something thought-provoking.

"Whether our life is good or bad, it should be wonderful in itself. For me, an old man, I am examining the value of life existence, and for you, examining is the value of your self-choice."

This passage sounded a bit jerky, and even Sun Hao didn't understand what Jackson said had anything to do with their current situation.

But Jackson apparently gave them time to think for themselves, and after watching the movie, he scheduled a half-hour meditation.

Sun Hao, the movie scene flashed back in his mind.

Gradually, what he focused on was not the classic tango dance, but the movie itself.

This is a journey about a blind retired military officer who wants to commit suicide, and a student who is faced with the "principle" choice.

This is really a movie about choices.

In a sense, that's what the Lakers need to do now.

It is to give up preparing for the next game as some players said in training, but to fight until the end even if you lose.

By the time Sun Hao woke up, most of the people's meditation had ended.

At this moment, Mourning got up and walked towards Phil Jackson.

"Phil, let me start."

It seems that this is his choice.

Although, he hasn't found his best form yet, and starting is not the most suitable choice.

You must know that the intensity of playing as a starter and playing as a substitute is completely different.

Phil Jackson didn't ask anything, just nodded with a smile.

He doesn't care much about the reasons why Mourning made this choice, what he cares about is what choice Mourning made.

Sun Hao walked up to Mourning at this time, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said something similar to what Ma Long said to him last season.

"Leave the scoring to me, and you are responsible for guarding the inside line."

Of course, that's not all he said.

"If you can't win with 40 points, then I'll take 50 points. If 50 points doesn't work, then I'll take 60 points."

Sun Hao's last words were resounding.

The players of the Lakers unconsciously looked at him.

Phil Jackson laughed even more.

Because he knows that his movie today is not in vain.

Sun Hao also made his choice.

Chapter 437 A Small Surprise For You

After Sun Hao finished speaking, the other members of the Lakers team were deeply moved.

The bosses of the team all have such an attitude, so what reason do others not go all out?

Especially those who said they would give up before, feel even more ashamed.

"Guys, we're going to win because we're the defending champions."

At this moment, Holly stood up and said.

He raised his hands in the air as he spoke.

This time node was well grasped, and other players of the Lakers also stacked their hands one after another.

"The Lakers Championship!"

They then shouted the most familiar slogan.

The fighting spirit of the Lakers is back!

Phil Jackson smiled again when he saw what was happening in front of him.

This movie is more useful than training.

Moreover, the choices made by Mourning and Sun Hao will also become the key to the Christmas battle.

The past few games have shown that the Lakers have too many internal problems, so if Mourning can play some performances in the starting lineup, then the Lakers can be in a stalemate with the Wizards.

Then, it was Sun Hao, who was the key to the game.

The team with more points wins the game. Sun Hao scored 40+ in three consecutive games, which is enough, but more is needed.

Even Jackson was looking forward to this game.

The Christmas War is coming as scheduled, and of course this day is also Christmas.

Sun Hao prepared some gifts for Scarlet on this day, and Scarlet also prepared some for him.

Although Scarlett doesn't want N holiday gifts a year like those women in Sun Hao's previous life, Christmas is no more than other festivals.

And this time, Sun Hao received a very special gift.

It was a necklace, and what was special about it was that the diamonds used for the necklace pendant were made of the diamonds on the wedding ring.

This is similar to the diamond earring Pippen gave Jordan.

Although I don't know if Scarlett has read the news, but it is not important, the important heart.

Sun Hao was still a little moved.

And on days like Christmas, Scarlett will come to the Staples Center to cheer for him, which makes him more motivated to play well.

That night, the Staples Center was packed.

The arena gave a birthday gift to all the fans present, which was a special Christmas hat with the Lakers logo.

The Lakers fans were all wearing it proudly, and the scene was very festive with bright red.

During the warm-up before the game, Sun Hao and Yao Ming chatted in the midfield.

Yao Ming is concerned about O'Neal's injury.

Judging from the communication between the two at Sun Hao's wedding, the relationship between Yao Ming and O'Neal is a bit like that between Sun Hao and Kobe.

They are opponents on the field and friends off the field.

Of course that's not all. Besides O'Neill, the two also talked about next year's World Championships.

They won the bronze medal in the last World Championships, and after that they won the Olympic championship. Basically, there is only one goal in this World Championships, and that is to win the championship.

And if they can win the championship this time, it will be of great significance, not only because of the breakthrough of the World Championship champion, but also because of the venue of the World Championship this time.

Japan.

When the two chatted about the same, the opening ceremony began immediately.

The two teams started one after another.

For the Wizards, Nelson, Hamilton, McGrady, Huo Ershu, Yao Ming;

Seeing the starting lineup of the Wizards this season, you will not wonder why Jordan gave Sun Hao such a valuable gift as a Ferrari.

Needless to say Yao Ming, Hamilton stayed because of Sun Hao's suggestion, plus Nelson, who can start in the second grade.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this Wizards team was created by Sun Hao.

For the Lakers, Sun Hao, Finley, Ariza, Walker, and Mourning.

When the Lakers started with Mourning, Carlisle on the Wizards side didn't seem surprised.

It's not that he predicts things like a god, but a reasonable guess.

After O'Neal's absence, the Lakers did not start well with Anderson. Adjusting the lineup is a routine operation.

Moreover, Mourning's current state so far this season is average, so he is not worried.

A whistle sounded from the sidelines, and the curtain of the Christmas battle officially opened.

Yao Ming dialed the ball back to the Wizards half, giving the visiting team the first opportunity to attack.

The Wizards came up and played a pick-and-roll, and McGrady and Uncle Huo's Mei Ruhua pulled out after the pick-and-roll.

"when!"

It's a pity that the ball was shot a little bit harder, hitting the back edge of the basket and bouncing high.

Yao Ming suppressed Mourning and took off the defensive rebound, taking advantage of the opportunity with a small hook at close range.

Mourning is already stuck, but he can't stop Yao Ming's current strength.

The ball went over his defense and into the net.

The Wizards come out on top!

Carlisle nodded watching from the sidelines.

Yao Ming's current dominance in the interior is his confidence.

Except for O'Neal, no one in the current league can stop Yao Ming at the center position.

Looking back, Sun Hao played Hamilton with the ball in the high position.

The offensive improvement of the Wizards this season is not only the tactical system brought by Carlisle, but also the adjustment of the starting lineup.

When Van Gundy was coaching, Alexander, who had a better defense, was the team's starting small forward. The team's offensive organization largely relied on McGrady.

McGrady is an all-around small forward with excellent organizational skills and is fully capable of playing the role of an organizational forward.

But he is different from James after all, and his strongest ability is scoring.

So to some extent, letting him organize is tantamount to limiting his scoring.

After Carlisle arrived this season, he replaced Alexander with Nelson, which brought McGrady's scoring ability back.

So far this season, McGrady has averaged 26.2 points per game and shot 45.7% from the field. He is a popular candidate for MVP.

But everything has two sides. Such adjustments did not make the overall defensive ability of the Wizards drop too much, but the defensive decline of individual players is inevitable.

Because most of the time in the game, the task of defending the opponent's arrow scoring task has become Hamilton.

Hamilton is a top off-the-ball scorer and a super physical monster. The stalk in history that walks the dog and vomits his own dog makes people talk about it.

But no one has ever classified him as a defensive player. Even if you are bored to search for Hamilton and add the word defense, in the information you get, that defense is basically about his opponent.

NBA perimeter defensive players can be roughly divided into two categories, one is thin body but excellent wingspan, such as Ariza is one of the representatives;

The other category is the strong type, like James is a typical representative.

Of course, there are some who do well in both categories, like Leonard and Payton, which are historical defensive monsters.

Hamilton, on the other hand, is exactly the other extreme.

He's thin and has average wingspan.
