I'm really good at shooting.

But seeing Scarlett nodding, she also knew that it would not be good for her to refuse.

After signing the contract, she couldn't control her emotions and cried.

For so many years, the goal of her efforts is to buy a house like the one she said at the beginning to repay her adoptive parents.

But this kind of thing is really difficult for ordinary people, especially in Los Angeles.

After she got married, the financial pressure was even greater, and she didn't know if she could really do it.

But at this moment, Sun Hao directly helped her realize her dream.

Scarlett went up to hug Cecilia to comfort her for a while.

Looking at the two women, Sun Hao...Of course he didn't think much about it.

He is not the kind of person who eats from the bowl and looks at the pot, otherwise Cecilia's condition would have been a nutritionist long ago.

What happened to Cecilia at the beginning still touched him a lot.

And $50 is not a lot of money for him now.

Of course, the most important thing is that Cecilia is his nutritionist and chef, which is in charge of the food!

Give some rewards, not too much.

What, is Sun Hao's team still short of people?

No shortage!

……

Time flies, and it is early December in a blink of an eye.

After the Lakers won 9 consecutive victories at the start of the game, they were focused on by their opponents, and their record fluctuated somewhat.

But so far, they still top the league with a record of 17 wins and 2 losses!

This record is also the best start in the history of the Lakers team!

Among them, the record of 11 wins and 14 loss in November is the best single-month record since 1.

Sun Hao was elected the best player of the month, and Phil Jackson was elected the best coach of the month.

It's definitely been a fantastic season for Lakers fans.

Although, it came later than expected!

Fans ridiculed "Hill" on social media that sitting on the bench brought luck to the Lakers.

But the real reason is the improved defense of the Lakers.

According to statistics, the Lakers have averaged 108.6 points per game so far this season, ranking tenth in the league.

But their average conceded points per game is 99.2 points, ranking fifth in the league!

A simple math problem, their net rating is 9.4 points per game!

This data is the data of an absolutely strong team, and a very stable strong team.

And this improvement in defense is not just the addition of Posey.

The defensive recovery brought about by O'Neal's continuous weight loss, as well as Sun Hao's defensive improvement, are all visible to the naked eye.

It was at this time that the Lakers ushered in another piece of good news they had been looking forward to for a long time.

Grant Hill, get ready for a comeback!

In the Lakers training session, Hill is having the first full-court practice with the Lakers.

His condition is surprisingly good.

Body weight is a really interesting thing for athletes.

When your resistance is insufficient, gaining weight is the fastest way to increase resistance;

When your physical function begins to decline, losing weight is the best way to regain the state;

Hill's self-discipline is very strong. He has dropped from 102 kilograms when he was a Laker to 97 kilograms, which is also the weight required by the coaching staff.

After losing weight, his movement frequency has improved significantly, and his self-confidence is also recovering rapidly.

It shows that it is easy to do in the training match.

He played with the people on the bench and quickly became the core of the organization and offense.

When seeing this, Phil Jackson couldn't say how happy he was.

The Lakers had ups and downs in their previous record because the number of ball-holding points on the court decreased after Finley left.

Coupled with the fact that Payton's state has declined sharply this season, it is difficult to be competent as a starter.

Basically, the team has returned to the OK period. The ball is played in two core hands, and it is easy for the opponent to target.

If Sun Hao and O'Neal were not in good condition, the Lakers' record this season would not have reached this level.

In fact, by the end of last season, the management had already realized the need to increase the second strong point of holding the ball.

Including Sun Hao's suggestion, the management is willing to gamble, and they all expect Hill to take on that role.

Now Hill is in this state, which makes people look forward to it!

Even Sun Hao was inexplicably excited.

Speaking of which, since he worked with Bodi Loga four years ago, he hasn't partnered with a star-level backcourt for a long time.

Basically because of his offensive and defensive style, his partners are all defensive players like Bell and Ariza.

But this season, his defense has improved significantly, and he has the prerequisites to partner with Hill.

Everything came so just right.

Of course, training is just training, and what Hill can do well still needs to be tested in an official game.

The good news is that the results will be announced soon.

The Lakers' opponent in the next game is the Denver Nuggets.

As the season continues, the Nuggets have experienced some ups and downs in their record, but overall they are still developing in a good direction.

They currently sit at the top of the Northwest Division with a record of 11 wins and 6 losses.

Because the league has implemented a new competition system in the new season, the top spot in the division has changed from the original top three to the top four. The Nuggets are currently ranked fourth in the West.

First to fourth, this will not be an easy game.

A comeback in a game of this intensity isn't necessarily the best option for Hill.

However, this is the choice that both Hill and the Lakers hope to make.

The goal of the Lakers this season is a dynasty, so it doesn't make any sense to play well against weak teams.

On the contrary, playing a strong team can better reflect the real strength.

After the Lakers announced that Hill would return in this game, ESPN and TNT both regarded the live broadcast of this game as the most important game of the day.

The media pays attention to it, and the fans pay more attention to it.

Sun Hao, O'Neal, Iverson, James, Hill!

As far as Starlight is concerned, this is definitely the best of the season!

"This is an absolutely unmissable game!"

Even Barkley temporarily put aside Durant's affairs and devoted all his attention to this game.

The Staples Center was packed.

In the front row, there are even more Hollywood stars gathered.

Seriously, the battle of focus.

"Hey, I heard that Sun gave his nutritionist a villa, damn it, why didn't that guy give me one!"

In the commentary seat, before the game started, Barkley had already started talking.

This time, in addition to Kenny Smith, he will be partnered with a special guest, "The Man" Michael Jordan.

The reason why Jordan was invited is very simple. There are a bunch of Jordan's successors on the field, and there is one who will come back tonight.

"You're not a girl, and you're ugly."

Jordan glanced at Barkley and said.

"what……"

Buckley froze for a moment, then laughed until he lowered his head and held his forehead.

Probably only Jordan dared to say that.

The key is because it is Jordan, he has no way to refute it!

Kenny Smith on the side laughed loudly, and reached out to give Jordan a high five.

He always felt that he was at a disadvantage in the previous "ass-kissing" bet, and now Jordan helped him find some ground.

"Okay, let's talk about the game."

Barkley smiled and changed the subject.

"Do you think Grant will start tonight's game?"

He continued.

"I think to be on the safe side, Phil Jackson should start Grant off the bench."

Kenny Smith has his say.

"I think so."

Barkley echoed Smith.

"I think Phil will start him straight away, I know him."

Jordan licked his lips, then nodded.

"No no, you will be wrong this time."

It is rare for Barkley to agree with Smith, and he feels that he will definitely guess right this time.

Jordan pouted and spread his hands.

After a while, the scene entered the opening ceremony, and the two teams started one after another.

Nuggets: Iverson, JR Smith, James, Martin, Camby.

Lakers: Sun Hao, Hill, Ariza, Walker, O'Neal.

Barkley went straight to the table this time.

Jordan had an expression of "I'm sorry, I'm pretending to be a jerk again".

"You know that handsome people are always right, and ugly people can only lie on the table."

Jordan continued.

Barkley sat up straight with a smothered smile and looked at Jordan.

You are handsome...well, you are rich, you are handsome!

Chapter 508 Jordan is Envious! !

When several people in the commentary seat were chatting, the game had already started.

The Nuggets took the lead, and it was James who controlled the ball from the outside.

After James and Iverson made such statements one after another, although the team did not distinguish who is the boss and who is the second, but in the game, it was James who had more possession of the ball on the field.

But Iverson didn't stand and watch the show either. He and Smith ran off the ball under cover on the left and right sides.

James saw a pass at the right time, and Iverson received the ball at a 45-degree high on the right.

The Lakers' defense was excellent, and Walker quickly made up the defense and used his height to block Iverson's shooting opportunity.

Iverson made a breakthrough in one step, and after Walker retreated, he made an emergency stop and shot a mid-range jumper.
