I am so Accurate

This call is very real.

Some people may say that Payton, as the only guard in history to win the "Best Defensive Player", with the existence of Li Gang Jordan, how can you do such a thing as hugging your thigh? !

Payton: Barkley and Malone did it first!

And Payton is 37 years old, and his arrogance has been crushed by himself when he defected to the Lakers.

He wants a championship right now, and retire like Barkley and Malone.

As for why you chose the Lakers again, is it wrong to choose the defending champion?

What's more, Barkley and Malone's success in holding their thighs in common is that the team has Sun Hao's thigh!

This choice is both reasonable and expected.

But Kupchak's answer is also very real: We need to do a trial training for you.

Although it has only been a season since the last time he played for the Lakers, Payton was in a state of flux last season and his performance was average.

The Lakers have just defended their title, and with Payton's character, Kupchak's reaction is also reasonable.

Peyton agreed without hesitation.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. With his current strength, it is absolutely no problem to get a veteran's basic salary from other teams.

Even if he is willing to go to a weak team to act as a mentor to help train young players, maybe he can get a middle-class exception.

But he doesn't care about that little money. With a career salary of nearly 100 million, he only wants a championship now, even if the Lakers ask him to try him out.

Payton's determination pleased Kupchak.

Spanoulis played well, but defensive problems kept him from getting much playing time in the playoffs.

In fact, after reaching the Western Conference semifinals, the Lakers' guard line basically consisted of Sun Hao, Finley and Christie in rotation.

Christie will be one year older next season, and his performance against Anthony in the finals is relatively average. If Payton is still in shape, it will indeed be a real reinforcement for the Lakers.

Kupchak is not destined to be idle this summer.

Payton is just a representative. He has received many calls from veterans or their agents in the next few days.

And like Payton, they are all those who haven't won the championship yet.

The thigh is something that veterans want to hug.

He couldn't help shaking his head after receiving it.

Because during the chat, the names of Barkley and Malone were constantly mentioned.

Leaving aside the rest, Sun Hao's label of "Champion Dreamer" may not be able to escape.

Of course, people with complicated moods are not just Peyton, or people like Peyton.

The opponents who were defeated by the Lakers also started the busy summer.

After communicating with Sun Hao, James paid a lot of money to hire Sun Hao's trainer Cannon Baker to conduct special training for himself.

Unlike in history, Baker instructed James to start shooting training in advance.

Although James' size makes it difficult for him to practice shooting in a summer like Kobe, the improvement is predictable.

By next season, James' performance will definitely be more comprehensive than last season.

And in addition to training alone under the guidance of Baker, James also held a training camp. The members of the training camp included Anthony, Wade, Bosh, and Paul.

The members of the 03 generation have known each other before and have a good relationship, but they all have one thing in common this past season, which is frustration.

So from a certain point of view, they are the 03 generation, but they are also the frustrated generation, or it can be called the League of the Lost.

As for Paul, Duncan has to be involved.

Duncan is Paul's senior, and there has been a connection between the two very early.

And Duncan admired James very much, so when Paul asked him if he could train together in the summer, he happened to hear that James was going to open a training camp, so he introduced Paul to him.

Don't tell me, after Paul arrived at the training camp, he got along very happily with James and the others. After training, he helped several big brothers carry their bags, and he has already begun to adapt to life in the NBA in advance.

But speaking of disappointment, the biggest disappointment this summer is obviously... Kobe.

At the beginning, Buss told him to go to Dallas to win the championship with Nowitzki, proving that the failure of the Lakers' F4 was not his reason.

It turned out... Little Buss dug a big hole for him and let him jump into it.

Of course, Kobe is not the kind of person who loses and complains about others and the environment. He has already made a more rigorous training plan for himself than ever before at the moment of elimination.

And he's picked a location that's perfect for high-intensity training for his plans: Hawaii.

Hawaii is located in a tropical latitude, theoretically it will be very hot, but due to the influence of the northeastward dry trade wind brought by the subtropical pressure, the highest temperature in summer generally does not exceed 31 degrees Celsius.

Coupled with the humid sea breeze and the lack of rain in summer, there is nothing wrong with the choice of this location.

...

After the championship parade, Sun Hao and Scarlett got on the plane to Hawaii.

They paid big bucks for a private villa in Honolulu.

The advantage of this villa is that there is a basketball court next door, which allows Sun Hao to play basketball when he is free.

In a sense, this is work-life balance.

Honolulu is the seat of the state of Hawaii. The entire city stands on the valley. In the later stage of urban development, a large number of high-rise buildings were built on the riverside plain, which also became the main urban part of Honolulu.

However, the apartment that Sun Hao and the others rented was not on the plain, but halfway up the mountain, which was also the reason for the high price.

Walking out of the door, you can see the Pacific Ocean lined with sea and sky. That kind of beautiful scenery can only be seen with money.

When Sun Hao arrived in Honolulu, he had another layer of emotion.

If you studied history well when you were a student, you should be familiar with Honolulu.

Because of the abundance of sandalwood in the early years, this place is also called Honolulu.

When they heard about Honolulu, many people recalled their history lessons. The "Xingzhonghui" established by Sun Yat-sen was established and developed here.

Because of this, the Chinese in Honolulu account for a large proportion, and they are the second largest Asian population in the area.

After arriving at the villa, Sun Hao put down his luggage, and Sun Hao started to take Scarlet around.

The scenery of this island city in the sea is much more beautiful than that of the coast.

Watch the shipwreck at the Arizona Memorial, see the only existing royal palace in the United States at the Ilaoni Palace, watch bodybuilding competitions on the riverside plain, and take a helicopter to overlook the entire island city...

They spent three full days in Honolulu before they could finish visiting the main attractions here.

And it's not over after visiting Honolulu, they have to go to other islands to play.

For example, the Mauna Kea extinct volcano, where the altitude is more than 4,200 meters above sea level, is the highest point in Hawaii.

But even in summer, the temperature there is not high, and they are going to spend the night there, so they need to make some preparations.

They didn't arrange a schedule during the day.

Of course, Sun Hao couldn't be idle, he just took the ball and went to the next court to play.

The basketball atmosphere in Honolulu is definitely incomparable to that in Los Angeles, but when Sun Hao appeared on the court, the players inside were still boiling.

There is no way, the championship and the new FMVP, coupled with Sun Hao's own popularity, let alone the stadium, he will be blocked every stop on the street.

The reason why he wasn't blocked before was because he had been wearing sunglasses and a hood, but he couldn't wear these two things when he was playing.

It took a while for Sun Hao to really hit the ball, and every time he scored, the players off the field screamed and cheered.

Perhaps because he has been playing professional games for the past few years, Sun Hao has not experienced this kind of field atmosphere for a long time.

This also made him a little excited. The next few attacks directly played dunks and lobs, and the players below were completely overwhelmed.

By the way, he also attracted some people from outside the court.

Sun Hao had a good time, and when he finished playing, he wanted to leave. Those people were reluctant to part with them, only wishing they didn't bring their pens and cameras with them when they went out to play.

Back at the villa, Sun Hao took a shower and slept for a while. After getting up, he packed up and prepared to go to sea with Scarlett.

But just as he was leaving, his villa phone rang suddenly, and he picked it up curiously.

The opposite claimed to be a lieutenant colonel named Moses.

Sun Hao thought it was a liar at first, but after the other party gave him a series of verification information, he was sure it was true.

After staying in the United States for so many years, he still has some understanding of the military ranks in the United States.

The highest rank in the navy that is normally out is basically a colonel, and is usually the captain of an aircraft carrier.

A lieutenant colonel is generally the deputy captain of an aircraft carrier or the captain of a cruiser.

No wonder Sun Hao was skeptical at first.

Speaking of which, in addition to being a tourist attraction, Honolulu is also an important military base because of its unique geographical location.

Like the Arizona Memorial that he and Scarlett went to before, it was actually built on the basis of the USS Arizona that was blown up in the "Pearl Harbor Incident".

It is common for U.S. Navy ships and even aircraft carriers to resupply here.

And this lieutenant colonel named Moses is the deputy captain of the USS Carl Vinson.

Asking why the deputy captain of the aircraft carrier would stay on the island alone was one of the reasons why he would call Sun Hao.

It turned out that Kobe had been training in Honolulu during the offseason. After the military found out, they kindly invited Kobe to play an exhibition game for American soldiers.

The training was very boring, and in order to express their sincerity, the deputy captain was left behind, and Kobe finally agreed.

The time and place were determined before, and two days later on the Carl Vinson aircraft carrier.

Because it is an internal exhibition match, only a few people know the news.

Then Sun Hao also suddenly appeared in Honolulu, attracting commotion and attention.

There were quite a few naval soldiers around there, and Moses would soon know about it when he went back and passed it on.

Originally it was just Kobe's performance, if Sun Hao was added, it would be very interesting.

"It won't take up too much time. I can let you visit the aircraft carrier for free. If you have other needs, you can just mention them. I will try my best to meet them."

Sun Hao didn't want to go at first, he is different from Kobe, he is not an American, and he has no obligation to play for American soldiers.

But Moses' attitude was very sincere, and Kobe was in Honolulu, which he didn't expect at all.

He still thinks about the hidden mission five years ago!

Especially against Prince in the finals, he found that his turn and breakthrough skills lacked a back-up skill connection, and he had more ideas about this hidden task.

In addition, he completely broke Kobe's defense in the Western Conference Finals, which made him more confident in completing the task.

In other words, at the end of the season, he was actually thinking about when he would find an opportunity to single-handedly with Kobe to complete the task.

It's a pity that Kobe couldn't be contacted at all. I didn't expect to come to Hawaii for a secret special training.

There is a saying: When you ask for it, it may come to your door by itself!

"I'll have to ask my fiancée for advice."

But Sun Hao still didn't agree immediately, he came to Hawaii to play with Scarlett, Scarlett's opinion is the most important.

After some exchanges, Sun Hao made a request to Moses.

"Can I bring my fiancee with me?"

"sure."

Moses readily agreed.

This is considered a deal.

Sun Hao was in a good mood after hanging up the phone.

I didn't expect this trip to Hawaii to have such a surprise.

Of course, what happened two days later would not affect their current arrangements.

The two took a boat to the extinct volcano of Mauna Kea. After the car took them to the end of the road, they put on their coats and climbed for a while.

Don't think about climbing to the top of the mountain and the sea is all around you. That's an experience that only small islands can have.

The mountains are more than 4,000 meters above sea level, with such high humidity, all you can see are thick clouds and a few peaks rising like bamboo shoots in the middle of the clouds.

The Mauna Kea extinct volcano is a sacred place for the Hawaiians, but this holy place is different from the kind of temples you see. The most conspicuous building on the top of the mountain is an international astronomy center.

This is also the reason why they chose to start here later, because at night, they can observe the stars up close through the astronomical telescope.

That's what they came for too.

But when the sun was about to set, they realized that perhaps compared to the stars in the Uranus telescope, the scene in front of them was their biggest gain.

The sun started to set, but it was different than usual, because it was the thick clouds that first started to set.

The clouds are like a virtual horizon, the sun falls into the clouds, but in reality it is still on the horizon.

The afterglow of the light passing through the clouds is indescribably romantic and beautiful.

Sun Hao could feel Scarlett holding his hand tightly, with a happy smile on his face.

This "accident" may be the most meaningful thing they have traveled in the past few days.

Especially when they appeared on the trip after their engagement, it made people look forward to the future infinitely.

At night, they can see a sky full of stars overhead.

The starlight on the sea and in the desert is always the most beautiful.

Of course, it is also a very interesting experience to see those stars up close in the astronomical telescope.

Scarlett on this day looked much happier than in the past few days.

They returned to Honolulu the next afternoon, and at this time, Sun Hao saw the Carl Vinson moored at the port.

He couldn't help but look sideways at the huge hull.

Seeing this kind of behemoth on TV and seeing it in front of your eyes, the visual impact is completely two concepts.

Sun Hao suddenly felt that to be able to visit such a thing, playing a ball is actually nothing at all.

The next day, a military jeep came to the gate to pick them up and take them to the aircraft carrier.

Although it was an exhibition match, the audience had no chance to watch it except the soldiers, so the people on the island showed no expression other than envious of those soldiers.

After boarding the aircraft carrier, Sun Hao was still shocked at the first sight.

This is the first time he has seen this kind of thing in his previous life and this life, the huge deck, and the rows of planes around it.

Although I am not a military fan, the adrenaline in the human body will still be uncontrollably secreted in such a place.

Well, he is not the only one looking left and right, there is also Kobe not far away.

Kobe saw him first and came over to greet him with a smile.

Although the two fought on the court, including last season when the Lakers eliminated the Mavericks and entered the Finals, this did not affect their off-court relationship.

"I didn't expect you to come to Hawaii."

"That's what I wanted to say."

The first sentence of the two people's meeting was very tacit, and then they couldn't help laughing.

To a certain extent, they have a tacit understanding and coincidence.

"Wait for a one-on-one match later?"

What Kobe said next made Sun Hao stunned for a moment.

"You won't refuse, will you?"

Kobe saw Sun Hao's reaction, and then asked.

"You may not believe it when you say it, but I have the same idea."

He was in a daze just now because he didn't expect Kobe to take the initiative to mention this. Originally, he was thinking about how to talk to Kobe about heads-up.

After all, in front of so many soldiers, Kobe might not accept it.

Now it seems that he even spared this.

And it's not surprising when you think about it carefully, Kobe was beaten up by Sun Hao in the Western Conference Finals.

He blocked all interference from the outside world and practiced hard in Honolulu for nearly a month, including the finals. He didn't watch it at all, just wanting to make himself stronger.

Now that Sun Hao appeared in front of his eyes, he certainly wouldn't want to miss such an opportunity.

And he could just test the results of his hard training this month.

After a while, Moses came out, a middle-aged officer who looked quite young.

To be a deputy captain at this age, there is real material in his stomach.

The stadium over there was ready, but the crew was not yet in place. Moses fulfilled his previous agreement and took the three of them to visit the aircraft carrier first.

Of course, what they can see is also something that allows them to see.

But even these are enough for the three of them to be full of curiosity.

Sun Hao and Kobe focused on the whole process, and this kind of experience may only happen once in their lifetime.

When they came out, the two of them communicated continuously.

And you may not believe it when you say it, but after the two of them came out, they had the same idea, they both wanted to buy a super big cruise ship.

That must be very interesting.

Sun Hao thinks this is a good direction, as long as he doesn't engage in helicopters, everything is good for Kobe.

They simply ate something and took a break. After a busy day, the crew began to appear in the auditorium set up on the deck one after another.

When they went out, the seats for hundreds of people were already filled, and they were greeted with cheers all over the sky.

Although there are not many people, the voices of the soldiers are loud, and the atmosphere is not weak at all, which is very similar to the original Drew League.

There was also a host on the scene, and they began to introduce them.

"3-time championship winner, 7-time All-Star, 1998 All-Star Game MVP, 3-time All-NBA team, 5-time defensive first team...Kobe Bryant!"

"2-time championship winner, 5-time All-Star, 3-time All-Star Game MVP, 2-time Finals MVP, 2005 regular season MVP, 2-time First Team... Sun Hao!"

You may not have felt it before, but after listing the honors of Kobe and Sun Hao, you will find that Sun Hao has surrounded Kobe in honor before you know it!

Although not all-round, it is only a matter of time.

This championship of the Lakers made many people realize Sun Hao's status as "Jordan's first overall successor".

This time, not only popularity, but also strong evidence of strength and honor.

Kobe seemed to realize it too. He touched his nose habitually, and his eyes showed a strong fighting spirit uncontrollably.

There may be those who feel that last season's loss would be devastating for him.

If you really think that way, you are very wrong!

For Kobe, the loss is just a motivation to stimulate him to work harder, and he will never give up until he succeeds!

The exhibition match started soon, but it was not one-on-one at first, but three-on-three.

The four best soldiers on the aircraft carrier became teammates with them.

In this session, Kobe fully demonstrated the results of his hard training in the past month.

His shooting is noticeably more consistent than before.

That's not just because of the change of defenders, it's really become a lot more stable.

This surprised Sun Hao a little.

You must know that Kobe at this stage, apart from passing, the only weakness is probably the stability of scoring.

But after only one month has passed, he has made such a big improvement, which is really amazing.

But if Sun Hao knew about Kobe's training plan, he wouldn't be surprised.

After communicating with Baker, Kobe developed a training method that is not enough to describe the word "devil", also known as the 666 training method.

Train 6 days a week, 6 hours a day, 6 stages each time.

That might sound like nothing at first, but in one practice, he made 3,000 jumpers alone, plus 300 wipeouts and 100 free throws.

This statistic may not sound like much. Just take Jordan as an example. Jordan’s training at his peak was very famous, and 2,000 mid-range shots per day is already the league benchmark.

But compared with Kobe, it is still a lot inferior.

And shooting is only part of Kobe's training, in addition to fixed barbell curls and bench press, 2 times of 800 meters, 5 times of 400 meters and so on.

These 6 hours of training are complete torture for ordinary people, but Kobe has been doing it every day for the past month.

So Kobe's improvement in stability is completely reasonable.

Moreover, Kobe's non-passing point is actually not that important in three-on-three. In the first game, Kobe's team beat Sun Hao's team 21-18.

After winning the game, Kobe was slightly excited, and made a signature gesture of reaching out and clenching his fist at the soldiers on the sidelines, which attracted cheers from the soldiers on the sidelines.

Although the fighting spirit has not been affected, but Kobe can still feel the breath in his heart after losing the Western Conference Finals.

Sun Hao didn't care too much, the outcome of the exhibition match is not that important

And in the next two rounds of three-on-three, Sun Hao won after knowing his shame, winning 2-1 by a big score.

After three innings, the exhibition match was almost over, but at this moment, Kobe and the host were talking over there for a while.

The host soon announced that there was an unexpected surprise in the exhibition match, and this surprise was the one-on-one match between Sun Hao and Kobe!

This ignited the soldiers' emotions.

Compared with the previous performance-type game, the heads-up between two NBA superstars is obviously more worth looking forward to!

Sun Hao was not surprised because he had said hello in advance. He turned around and had a small eye contact with Scarlett who was sitting on the sidelines, and then went on stage.

When he stood opposite Kobe again, Sun Hao's eyes and state were obviously different from before.

If there was still some entertainment in the past, then now he feels like he is going to show 100% of his strength!

The unfinished duel a year ago does not count, the duel between him and Kobe was five years late!

It's been left there for five years with that hidden mission, and now it's time to pick it up!

Kobe was also a little surprised by Sun Hao's change, especially the way Sun Hao behaved before the heads-up began, which was somewhat different from the Sun Hao he had in mind.

But it also made him more excited.

He originally wanted to test his training results, and Sun Hao was right in his arms.

Ever since, Kobe also put his focus on it, and his eyes were ignited with raging fighting spirit.

The two of you are going to get serious!

There was a burst of cheers from the sidelines.

Although the soldiers didn't know what the two were thinking, just seeing their state on the court was enough to make them excited.

Two MVP-level players are really playing, which is something you can't see if you don't go to the NBA arena!

No, to be precise, you may not even be able to see it in the NBA arena!

Heads-up begins.

Come up Kobe goes first.

If it is said that Kobe's non-passing has little effect in three-on-three, then it has no effect at all in one-on-one.

As soon as he came up, Kobe beat Sun Hao on his back.

Sun Hao also confronted with his body completely unceremoniously.

"Bang! Bang!"

There were muffled sounds from the collision of muscles on the field.

Although the two don't often face each other in the game, Christie often shares with Sun Hao his experience in defending Kobe.

If Kobe can't make a shot, he can't be allowed to enter the offensive mode he is used to.

Or to put it another way, the best way to defend Kobe is to make his moves disconnected.

Sun Hao did it perfectly. After turning around continuously, Kobe reluctantly leaned back to complete the shot.

This is also a stalemate that is easy to fall into when playing back. Without Barkley's big butt, it is easy to be forced to stop the ball or be forced to make difficult shots.

"Shua!"

However, Kobe showed his improvement in this month's special training, and he made steady hits with difficult shots!

1 to 0!

The soldiers on the sidelines couldn't help whistling excitedly.

Although it was just a ball, the high-level confrontation between the two was clearly visible.

A total visual treat.

It's still Kobe's possession.

This time Kobe chose to face the frame, Sun Hao still gave enough resistance, and he still started to use small moves.

Facts have proved that Christie's experience is very useful. Kobe was forced by Sun Hao into an uncomfortable baseline shot.

The movement is still very elegant.

"when!"

But the last shot hit the frame!

The ball is exchanged, it's Sun Hao's turn to attack!

As soon as Sun Hao got the ball, Kobe quickly defended and oppressed him.

This is the defensive method he used against Sun Hao in the Western Conference Finals, the only difference is that it is more aggressive.

However, Sun Hao also expected this to happen, a fake back, and then turned around with a low center of gravity to break through.

Although the season is over, his MVP halo is still there!

This turn was clean and neat, and Kobe was too late to stop it because he jumped too far!

The previous experience of the two on the court is not fully applicable in one-on-one.

Before, Sun Hao had to take care of possible double-teaming, but he was more decisive in one-on-one actions.

However, Kobe did not give up after being beaten, chasing Sun Hao from behind.

After Sun Hao felt it, he didn't give a chance, accelerated into the air, and made a quick one-handed dunk!

"Boom!"

1 to 1.

This dunk attracted a burst of applause from the soldiers at the scene.

Compared with five years ago, the strength of both of them has been greatly improved.

Of course, Sun Hao's range is obviously greater. Five years ago, he could only score by surprise, but now he can calm down completely!

The next few balls were also almost a carbon copy of the second.

Kobe's defense was the same as in the Western Conference Finals and failed to stop Sun Hao from scoring.

In a short while, the score on the field has changed from 1 to 1 to 2 to 1, then to 3 to 1, and finally to 4 to 1!

With one more ball, Sun Hao will win this duel!

But it was the last ball, Kobe showed absolute concentration, successfully chased Sun Hao, and almost gave Sun Hao a big hat.

Sun Hao barely escaped by twirling in the air, but the ball also hit the edge of the basket and popped out.

The ball rights are exchanged again!

The emotions of the soldiers on the sidelines became excited again.

Don't think that the score of 4 to 1 is very disparate, just like a billiards game, the more top-notch the confrontation, the less important the point difference. Because the opponent accidentally cleared the table with one shot!

The confrontation in front of him is the same, just like Sun Hao changed the big score from 1 to 1 to 4 to 1, and Kobe went from 1 to 4 to 5 to 4, which may be an opportunity for the ball.

Kobe once again chose to attack with his back, another burst of muscle collision.

Sun Hao's defense is still in place.

Although his defense is much inferior to his offense, as Deng Huade said, seven points in defense depend on talent and skills, and the remaining three points depend on attitude!

Kobe was defended against another difficult shot, this time his shot finally missed the basket.

There was a burst of regret from the fans.

Because this is likely to be Kobe's last chance.

Kobe didn't care.

He clapped his hands to cheer himself up, then threw the ball to Sun Hao, sinking his defensive focus.

Next time he will definitely seize the opportunity.

However, Sun Hao didn't seem to give him the next chance at all, so he raised his hand and directly shot a three-pointer.

Previously, his offense used more turns to break through, which made Kobe afraid to play close defense like he did at the beginning.

But it was this transformation that gave Sun Hao a chance.

It was a little too late for Kobe to throw it again.

Sun Hao's ball has a very beautiful following action, and the intuition from the shooter tells him that the ball is already there.

Looking at the basketball spinning towards the basket, his heart is more than beautiful enough to describe.

"Shua!"

With a crisp sound, Sun Hao's three-pointer went into the net!

5 to 1!

Sun Hao defeated Kobe by an absolute advantage in one-on-one heads-up!

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission 'True and False Mamba' and getting the reward [Kobe turns and leans back shooting bag]."

In the next second, a system notification sounded in Sun Hao's mind.

The hidden mission after five years, although late, but arrived!
