I am so Accurate

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, and 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 2, the curtain of the 2004~2005 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 15 of 30 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 moment, 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 2008-2009 season after failing in the 2007-2008 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.

There is 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.

Finley, Horry, Howard, Sun Hao! O'Neal!

When Sun Hao and O'Neal appeared on the stage, the cheers on the scene began to explode.

The requirements of Los Angeles fans are very high, and there are only superstars of this level who can make them all willing to stand up and cheer.

The opening ceremony ended, Phil Jackson and Van Gundy completed the final handshake before the game, and the game started immediately.

Amidst the cheers of the fans, O'Neal successfully beat Yao Ming and gave the Lakers the first chance to attack!

Sun Hao took the ball to the frontcourt, and the scene had already started to boo.

The information can not only spread to O'Neal, but also to the fans.

Kobe over there has killed the Quartet, and they also expect Sun Hao to do the same.

However, Sun Hao didn't intend to attack at the beginning, he was commanding tactical moves.

After the Lakers formed a triangle attack on the right, he gave the ball to O'Neal who was in a good position.

Wizards, choose to shrink the defense.

McGrady on the weak side is already heading for the basket.

Yao Ming's strength has improved a lot, but he has not gained weight like in history. It is still very difficult for O'Neal, who is still at the peak of low defense.

O'Neal immediately distributed the ball to Horry in the bottom corner.

After Horry received the ball, McGrady jumped out again, but Horry had already completed the shot.

When it comes to Horry, the first impression of fans is "the most successful role player".

In history, he is the role player with the most championship rings, and he won the championship by changing teams.

Is he lucky? Certainly not bad.

But luck is not everything. Horry's strength was not bad when he was young, and he was a starter as soon as he entered the league.

And he was the starting small forward of the Houston team that completed two consecutive championships!

After that, after being transferred to the Lakers, he gained weight and changed to power forward for the needs of the team.

Including after arriving at the Spurs, he has been playing such a role.

As a result, even if he suffered a serious injury, he was still a core rotation player.

This shows that his adaptability is very strong.

Including this time the Lakers entered the palace for the second time.

Because the team did not get enough reinforcement at the small forward position in the summer, the coaching staff put forward the idea of ​​letting Horry return to play small forward in the summer.

This requirement is actually very difficult.

Especially for a 34-year-old veteran.

But after one summer, Horry successfully lost 9 kilograms!

He turned back into a small forward!

So sometimes, you have to feel that everyone's success is not accidental.

If you think there is, it's only because there's something you haven't noticed.

The weight loss has reduced Horry's confrontation, but his shooting speed has been improved.

After the ball whirled through the air through an arc.

"Shua!"

With a crisp sound, Horry made his first three-point attempt!

There was loud cheers at the scene.

Most Los Angeles fans' impression of Horry is still in the 2003 playoffs when the iron was hit so hard that people doubted their lives.

Now that Huo Li entered the palace for the second time, they were pleasantly surprised when he came up.

The Lakers took the lead, but in retrospect, McGrady was a bit handsome with the ball in one hand, and he directly singled Finley.

Finley's defense is only at the league average level, and one defense and one McGrady failed to defend.

After McGrady broke into the free throw line, he made an emergency stop and pulled out his hand to make a hit.

At this time, McGrady hadn't been troubled by injuries. Although he changed teams, the level of elegance in his playing was still unique in history.

In the first round of the opening round, both teams scored.

Sun Hao took the ball to the frontcourt again.

Just when the fans were expecting him to kill all directions on the perimeter again, he gave the ball to O'Neal again.

Or triangle tactics.

This time, the Wizards are a bit embarrassed.

Van Gundy reached out and scratched the top of his head, which was smooth.

When he put his hand down, he made a tactical gesture.

LaFrentz on the other side went to the basket to help defend.

O'Neal, and passed the ball to Howard.

O'Neal's average assists per game has never been low, which shows that he is a player who loves to share the ball.

The ball was in Howard's hands, and Howard made a mid-range jumper.

This is also Phil Jackson's requirement for role players. They can make shots or not, but they must be decisive when they have a chance.

"Shua!"

Howard's shot also went in!

Howard's movement speed is not as fast as his peak due to his age, even when he was in the Mavericks, but his hand distance is still very stable.

This is why he can continue to play in the NBA even when he is close to 40 years old in history.

The Wizards missed a wave of offense, looking back, Sun Hao, continue to give the ball to O'Neal!

At this moment, the fans at the scene discovered that there was something on the field.

On the Wizards side, no one shrinks in to help defense anymore.

The Lakers' shots at other points are too accurate, and this is another point.

Ever since, O'Neal got an absolute chance to beat Yao Ming one-on-one under the basket.

The singles space is as big as the Pacific Ocean.
