I am so Accurate

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

The boss of the team has this attitude, so what reason do the others have not to go all out?

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

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

Horry stood up and said at this time.

He raised his hands in the air as he spoke.

This time point was grasped very well, and other members of the Lakers also folded their hands one after another.

"Lakers championship!"

They then shouted the most familiar slogan.

The Lakers' fighting spirit 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 war.

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

Then, there is Sun Hao. Sun Hao is the key to the game.

The team that scores more wins the game. Sun Hao scored 40+ points in three consecutive games. He has scored enough points, but more is needed.

Even Jackson is 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 Scarlett on this day, and Scarlett also prepared some for him.

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

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

It was a necklace. The special thing was that the diamonds used in the necklace pendant were made from the diamonds in the wedding ring.

This is similar to the diamond earrings Pippen gave Jordan.

Although I don’t know if Scarlett has read the news, but that’s not really important. What’s important is her heart.

Sun Hao was still a little moved.

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

That night, the Staples Center was packed.

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

Lakers fans wore them proudly, and the scene was bright red and very festive.

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

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

Judging from the previous exchanges 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 rivals on the court and friends off the court.

Of course, that's not all. In addition to O'Neal, the two also talked about next year's World Championships.

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

And if we can win this championship, it will be of great significance, not only because of the breakthrough of the World Championships, but also because of the venue of this World Championships.

Japan.

When the two were almost finished chatting, the opening ceremony began immediately.

The starters from both teams came on stage one after another.

For the Wizards, Nelson, Hamilton, Tracy McGrady, Uncle Huo, and Yao Ming;

Seeing the Wizards' starting lineup this season, you won't wonder why Jordan gave Sun Hao such an expensive gift as Ferrari.

Needless to say, Yao Ming, Hamilton stayed because of Sun Hao's suggestion, and 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, Mourning.

Carlisle from the Wizards didn't seem surprised when he saw the Lakers starting Mourning.

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

After O'Neal was absent, the Lakers' starting effect with Anderson was not good. Adjusting the lineup is a routine operation.

Moreover, Mourning has been in average form so far this season, so he is not worried.

A whistle sounded on the sidelines, and the Christmas war officially kicked off.

Yao Ming moved 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 made a beautiful dry pull-out after the pick-and-roll.

"Dang!"

What's a pity is that the ball was thrown a little too hard and bounced high off the back edge of the basket.

Yao Ming suppressed Mourning and took off the defensive rebound, taking advantage of the situation and making a small hook from close range.

Mourning has been stuck in position, but with Yao Ming's current strength he can't stop him.

The ball passed his defense and fell into the net.

The Wizards come out on top!

Carlisle nodded as he watched from the sidelines.

Yao Ming's current dominance in the paint 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 held the ball in the high post and hit Hamilton with his back.

The Wizards' offensive improvement this season, in addition to the tactical system brought by Carlisle, is also the adjustment of the starting lineup.

When Van Gundy was coaching, Alexander, who was better defensively, was the team's starting small forward, and the team's offensive organization relied heavily on Tracy McGrady.

McGrady is an all-around small forward with excellent organizational skills and is fully qualified to play the role of organizational forward.

But he is different from James after all. His strongest ability is scoring.

So to a certain extent, allowing him to organize is equivalent to limiting his scoring.

After Carlisle arrived this season, Nelson replaced Alexander, which allowed McGrady's scoring ability to return.

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

But everything has two sides. Such adjustments have not caused the Wizards' overall defensive ability to decline too much, but the defensive decline in individual players' ability is inevitable.

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

Hamilton is a top off-the-ball scorer and a super physical monster. There is a famous saying in history about walking a dog and making his own dog vomit.

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

NBA perimeter defensive players can be roughly divided into two categories. One type is thin but has an excellent wingspan. Ariza is one of the representatives;

The other type is the strong type, of which James is a typical representative.

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

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

He is thin and has an average wingspan.

So this makes him destined not to be an excellent defender.

Sun Hao was observing the Wizards' defense when he was playing with his back.

The Wizards didn't double-team in the opening game.

Obviously, the biggest difference between Sun Hao and Kobe Bryant's post-up game is that they can pass the ball. This is something that opponents also know by now in the season.

Sun Hao hit Hamilton from behind, and Hamilton couldn't bear it at all.

Although Sun Hao's current strength is not as abnormal as James's, but after so many years of training in the system, including the attributes shown in it, ordinary defenders cannot withstand it.

After pushing away Hamilton, he turned around comfortably and took a shot.

"Uh-huh!"

The basketball hits the net smoothly and is worthy of being the spokesperson of Dove.

Some people may ask, Sun Hao got Kobe's shooting bag. Why is Sun Hao so accurate while Kobe is so tough? This is unreasonable.

In fact, there is a false proposition in this sentence: Kobe's back is very solid.

As one of the greatest scorers in the NBA, Kobe's special skill is the fadeaway jumper. If he was good at it, the NBA would be disbanded.

In fact, Kobe's fadeaway accuracy is terrible, but he likes to use double-teams as open spaces and likes to shoot against high-intensity defense, so he gives people a very iron feeling.

For the Wizards, Nelson organized a wave. Hamilton ran around the court twice without the ball, successfully left Ariza halfway, and took a mid-range shot after receiving the ball.

"Dang!"

Tonight's basket is very home-court, with a cover on it.

However, it was Yao Ming again who grabbed the second offensive rebound over Mourning.

Mourning defended hard this time and did not let Yao Ming make the ball, but he got a foul.

Although he has just fulfilled his rookie contract, Yao Ming's dominance is already amazing.

There was a commotion in the place.

Fans are still looking forward to the Lakers' starting adjustment.

After all, Mourning is famous. Even though he is no longer as brave as he once was, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

But after the first two rounds, the feeling is that Mourning is not much better than Anderson...

Yao Ming made two free throws at the free throw line and scored 4 consecutive points in the opening game.

Sun Hao held the ball to the frontcourt again. Instead of playing with his back, he held the ball at the top of the arc and asked Mourning to pull him up to the high post for a pick-and-roll.

Yao Ming's advantage in the paint is too great, which is the biggest difference from the Lakers' past three opponents.

The Lakers' current inside line has been blown up like this against the three opponents they played against in the past.

Take Randolph as an example. Randolph who has not yet played can get 30+10 over their heads. If Yao Ming keeps playing, it is estimated that 40+10 will be easy.

If that were the case, it would be useless even if Sun Hao really scored 60 points.

Because the offensive efficiency of the inside line is higher than that of the outside line anyway.

So at this time, beating Yao Ming is the best choice.

Sun Hao did this, but others would not think of it immediately.

Including Carlisle, what he saw in front of him was just Sun Hao trying to use the pick-and-roll to try a small attack.

Sun Hao didn't give the Wizards any reaction time to double-team after the pick-and-roll. He accelerated the ball and jumped in directly.

Nelson was blocked by Mourning, and it was only Yao Ming who relied on his excellent movement speed to chase Sun Hao from behind.

Under normal circumstances, this would definitely be impossible to catch up with.

Uncle Huo on the weak side is already helping to defend.

But Yao Ming caught up.

"This is an incredible big guy!"

In the commentary box, Barkley was lamenting Yao Ming's moving speed.

But the next second, the referee's whistle blew for a foul on Yao Ming's blocker.

Sun Hao got two free throw opportunities.

He adjusted his breathing and made two free throws steadily.

Yao Ming scored 4 points in a row in the opening game, and Sun Hao also scored 4 points in a row.

Yao Ming directly hit the low post.

Mourning's goal shows the difference between him and Anderson. His defensive effect in the low post is still among the best in the league.

Yao Ming couldn't move, so he chose...turn around and take a shot!

You really can't find another player of this height who can perform such technical moves.

But Yao Ming not only knew it when he entered the league, but after four seasons he has reached a level of proficiency.

Mourning couldn't do anything about it.

"Uh-huh!"

The ball passed over his head and fell steadily into the net bag.

Yao Ming scored 6 points in a row!

"I wouldn't want to play against a guy like that."

Barkley continued to lament in the commentary box.

This season, due to changes in inside partners, O'Neal's role on the defensive end has weakened, which has shaken his status as the number one center.

The person who made him waver was Yao Ming.

"Without Shaq, the Lakers are going to have a tough time tonight."

Smith agreed and also analyzed the situation on the court.

Sun Hao continued to pick and roll with Mourning in the frontcourt, and using his quick first step, he used the same method to break the Wizards' double-team.

This is a bit like Iverson's feeling of "you know I'm going to go right, but you still can't do anything to me."

Then, the scene from the previous round reappeared, with Yao Ming chasing Sun Hao from behind.

Only this time, people at the scene discovered that Yao Ming couldn't catch up with Sun Hao at all.

It was as if Sun Hao had eaten an energy crystal in a racing go-kart and rushed into the lane with a single acceleration.

Then in the expectant eyes of the fans at the scene, Los Angeles Kurt arrived as scheduled.

"Bang!"

With a one-handed chop, Sun Hao showed off his talents as a little emperor.

This dunk boosted the morale of the Lakers!

You must know that from the beginning of the game until now, Yao Ming has been ravaging the Lakers inside.

Finally, Sun Hao returned the favor.

At this moment, Carlisle stood up on the sidelines.

There are many coaches in the NBA who understand tactics, but most of them can only be called tactical coaches, but Carlisle is known as a tactician in history.

Because what makes him stronger than other coaches of the same type is his ability to adapt on the spot.

If there is ink in your stomach but you cannot use it immediately, it may eventually be pulled out by you.

Two identical offensive rounds, but with completely different offensive results. Carlisle immediately realized that Sun Hao had obviously deliberately committed a foul on Yao Ming in the previous round.

A player's reflexes are faster than his.

This is, very scary!

Sun Hao's dunk boosted the morale of the Lakers. Relying on defensive rotations, they successfully defended against the Wizards' attack.

Looking back, Sun Hao continued to play pick-and-roll, but this time he looked for Walker.

After breaking it open, Sun Hao broke through. Just when everyone thought Sun Hao was going to return the ball to Walker at the top of the key, Sun Hao passed the ball to Ariza who was cutting in from the wing!

Ariza had already shaken off Tracy McGrady, jumped up after catching the ball, and dunked in front of Yao Ming.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!

Yao Ming, of course, couldn't let Ariza dunk and directly block the shot.

There was a confrontation between the two, and Ariza's dunk failed, but the referee's whistle also sounded.

Yao Ming's second personal foul!

Carlisle was stunned.

There was no time for him to react to what was happening in front of him.

Yao Ming, less than five minutes into the game, committed two fouls!
