Chapter 233: Jordan: The reason for my comeback is ......
Of course, there is still time before the trade deadline, and the Mavericks still have time to find such a player.
At least this time, Cuban and Nelson Sr. were on the same page.
After the battle with the Lakers, the Mavericks returned to Dallas to continue their season.
As Scarlett and Sun Hao agreed before, they went to Dallas to continue watching the game.
Sun Hao is also more and more sure that Scarlett's not going to watch the game at the Staples Center should have something to do with her parents.
"Look at how important you are, you didn't go to the Staples Center and we just lost."
However, Sun Hao has gradually mastered the skills of love, and Scarlett was amused by him as soon as he came.
The addition of Scarlett has made Sun Hao's life more colorful, and he is finally no longer a monotonous training competition.
But he still has to do what he has to do after playing the Lakers.
He began to try to train his non-dominant hand, which was his left hand.
But soon he ran into problems.
After training his left hand a lot, it greatly affected the stability of his right-handed shooting.
The training of left and right hand coordination was more difficult than he imagined.
He also tried to ask Baker for the reason, but Baker did not have much experience and gave limited advice.
Sun Hao thought about it again and again, and finally simply flew directly to Los Angeles.
There's no more straightforward way to find Kobe.
When Sun Hao went, Kobe Bryant was practicing.
This is not surprising, Kobe Bryant has always been known for training maniacs.
But Kobe Bryant's additional training project made Sun Hao a little unexpected.
Kobe Bryant, practicing three-point shooting!
After the last game, while Sun Hao was amazed by Kobe's left-handed offensive skills, Kobe was also amazed at Sun Hao's three points!
The two of them, thought of going together.
When he saw this, Sun Hao suddenly looked forward to what he had gained this time.
"Why do you think I'm going to tell you?"
Kobe Bryant looked at Sun Hao with a smile.
A competitor came running to ask himself about basketball skills.
This is tantamount to making one's competitors stronger, or making one's enemies stronger, which doesn't seem to make sense.
"Because you need stronger opponents, and that's how you can make yourself stronger."
Sun Hao continued.
Kobe Bryant, who said this, put away his smile and fell into deep thought.
If others hear this, they will definitely think that you are coaxing a child.
But as he got in touch with Kobe Bryant, Sun Hao got to know Kobe more and more.
That's really what Kobe Bryant wanted to hear.
Kobe Bryant wants to prove himself and become stronger, just like in martial arts, he needs to meet stronger opponents.
Over the past few years, as his own strength has become stronger, he feels that his opponents are becoming fewer and fewer.
Sun Hao is the only rising star who can compete with him head-on.
He didn't nod, though.
Obviously, the last game also made him realize that the Mavericks were a little stronger, and they might have a chance to win against the Lakers.
He's not stupid either.
Seeing that Kobe Bryant didn't agree, Sun Hao was not too surprised.
Before, he felt that Kobe Bryant was still a relatively simple kind, but the two sides attacked each other in the last game, which made him realize that Kobe was not so simple.
"I see you're working on threes, how about we swap training methods?"
Sun Hao has a killer feature.
And he released the national policy that he had memorized in his previous life.
Resource integration, mutual benefit and win-win, basketball community with a shared future.
In fact, to put it bluntly, basketball skills are learning from each other.
Kobe is imitating Jordan, and the future is imitating Kobe, which is also a legacy.
Kobe Bryant looked at Sun Hao for a while after listening, and finally nodded.
A good game requires a good opponent, and he doesn't suffer either.
This is also the sophistication of people in basketball.
The two men negotiated, and then bumped fists to indicate that they had reached an agreement.
Immediately after that, they began to share each other's training styles.
Sun Hao also knows a lot about the methods and techniques of left-hand training.
Left-handed training is not just about the left hand.
A lot of the time, it's about training with both hands.
One of the most important parts of this is to break the press with the ball in both hands.
This is not a joke, and Harden has often practiced this in history, that is, to achieve a balance between the left and right hands.
If you can press the defense and break it, it means that your training has reached a considerable level.
Of course, not all training is done with two hands.
Like the problem that Sun Hao encountered before that would affect the shooter, it was because the training ratio was wrong.
In general, there is basically a "rule of 28" to be observed.
The so-called rule of 28 refers to the need to maintain this ratio of training volume between the left hand and the right hand.
For example, if you dribble 2 times with your right hand, you will do 8 times with your left hand, and if you shoot 8 times with your left hand, you will also do 2 times with your right hand.
This can even extend to the little things in life, such as cleaning, such as using utensils.
This is Bryant's personal experience.
"When you train your left hand, forget that you have your right hand and imagine that you only have your left hand, and you can achieve the best results."
After listening to this, Sun Hao had to sigh that as a training maniac in the NBA, Kobe Bryant's experience in some aspects even exceeds that of many trainers.
Because it was his own real exploration, practice, more reference than theory.
Kobe Bryant was frank, and Sun Hao did not reserve it.
After the two of them finished communicating, Kobe Bryant picked up the water and touched Sun Hao before drinking.
They were rivals on the field, and even used each other's tactics as shown in the last game.
But off the court, they can also communicate with each other for basketball skills.
To put it more figuratively, their current relationship is both friend and foe.
After communicating with Kobe, Sun Hao started relevant training in the system after he went back.
Of course, this thing is not achieved overnight, and it will continue to be a long process.
Fast forward to January, and Sun Hao continued his NBA journey.
The Mavericks had a strong performance after losing to the Celtics, and this time the loss to the Lakers was no different.
They went all the way and even squeezed the Kings down.
Sun Hao has been stable in this process.
It is worth mentioning that Wang Zhizhi also performed well in the days when Kukoc was injured and absent, and slowly squeezed into the rotation lineup.
This time, in the eyes of many people, the Chinese players in Dallas have changed from one to two.
It was also in this process that the results of the second and third rounds of the NBA All-Star Poll were released one after another.
And this has also attracted unprecedented discussion from American fans.
Because the influence of Chinese fans in voting is even more obvious.
Sun Hao continued to win the vote king without suspense, and his votes in the third round were 300,000 more than last year.
This rhythm is not only rushing to 2 million votes like last year, but also going to the trend of breaking Jordan's all-time vote king.
And, that's not all.
Yao Ming also surpassed Jordan in the number of votes in the East, second only to Carter in the East!
Nowitzki, too, continues to suppress Duncan and Garnett in the Western Conference Forward rankings.
Headquarters in New York.
Stern was already trying to pull out the phone line in his office.
Even Nike put pressure on him.
If there is no limit on the number of votes in China, the situation here may really get out of control.
He called his assistant, Adam Mosaic, to his office.
"Just tell them that the ratio is 10 to 1, and they don't dare to have any opinions anyway."
After Mosaic's words, Stern felt that his assistant was too simple.
He has been to China many times and knows the temper of Chinese fans, and if he does, it will only make the NBA disappear from the Chinese market very quickly.
After breaking through the mosaic, he finally made a choice: to impose some restrictions on the voting of fans in China.
These restrictions are also fan screening, allowing those fans who have spending power to have voting rights.
After this screening, you will kill two birds with one stone.
He vaguely informed all parties of the relevant thoughts, which could be regarded as temporarily calming the tempers of those people.
Soon, though, he received an unexpected phone call.
The caller's name was Jordan.
"David, you can't do that, we need equality, and if you do that, it makes people feel discriminated against."
Jordan is black, and he's sensitive to those two words.
Especially when Stern treats Chinese fans so alone, as long as someone adds a little fuel and vinegar, the situation will develop in a very unfavorable direction.
Although Jordan doesn't have a good eye when looking at people, he is still very accurate when looking at things.
After all, his status is far beyond the concept of a player.
"It's a compromise, and we have to do that."
Stern also knows Jordan's concerns, but his procrastination skills have reached the limit, and he has to make a choice.
"Then you have to do that for voting everywhere, and you don't have to do it alone because there are so many fans there."
Jordan said his point.
Stern didn't have Jordan's say.
The economic situation of each country is different, and if he does that, he will directly lose the market in Africa and South America.
That is contrary to his global strategy.
The two of them didn't talk about a piece in the end.
Stern had been jealous of Auerbach before, but Jordan didn't have that much influence on him.
Hanging up the phone with Stern, Jordan was not in a very good mood.
He took out his cigar and continued to smoke.
After much thought, he called his assistant and asked him to call the reporter for an impromptu press conference.
When his assistant asked what the theme of the conference was, Jordan's answer was to talk about the upcoming All-Star Game.
Jordan wants to talk about the All-Star Game, and on a whim.
This can hang the appetite of the fans.
Jordan called in the morning, and by the time he arrived in the evening, the scene was already dark.
said to talk about the All-Star Game, Jordan really talked about the All-Star Game.
"Looks like I'm going to be an All-Star starter."
As soon as Jordan opened his mouth, he knew that he was an old rascal, and he pretended to be invisible.
"But I know I'm that age, and the All-Star Game is still reserved for young people."
However, Jordan's next words caused a wave of discussion.
Because listen, Jordan is trying not to play the All-Star Game?
Otherwise, Jordan doesn't need to hold a press conference on an impromptu basis!
"Will you quit?"
Immediately a reporter asked a question.
And the other reporters also looked at him in unison.
This question is very important!
If Jordan withdraws, this year's All-Star Game will be much less interesting.
After all, this is Jordan's first year of comeback, and no one knows how long Jordan will play.
Many of the stars who came back before chose to retire after playing for a year.
After all, even if Jordan is the god of basketball, he is already 38 years old, to be precise, it should be said that he will be 39 years old in more than a month.
So if Jordan wants to quit, no one knows if he can continue to see him in the All-Star Arena!
"Exit? No, no, no. ”
But fortunately, Jordan quickly gave them a big reassurance.
"I'm going to play, and if I don't get hurt, of course nobody wants that to happen."
Jordan's next words made the reporters laugh reassuringly.
"I mean, I'm going to control my playing time, maybe 11 minutes or so, and that's the kind of stage, I'm going to have that time."
But Jordan's next words made them smile again.
While Jordan is right to say it, fans always want him to see him more on the All-Star stage.
Jordan then talked a lot about the All-Star Stars, and he seemed really bored and wanted to chat with reporters.
Journalists were also happy to listen.
When the press conference was almost over, it was at this moment that Jordan suddenly began to talk about why he made a comeback.
"I've heard a lot of people say that there are many reasons why I came back, and those did affect me, but it was a small guy who made me want to come back."
With this sentence, the distracted attention of the reporters was suddenly withdrawn.
In their understanding, Jordan's comeback is his own desire to come back, and then the 911 incident is the final weight that makes him make a decision.
But I didn't expect that there was another hidden story in this?
"Last year there was a little guy who made a bet with me that he would get the Rookie of the Year and that if he won I would come back, and you can see that Michael, who is a bet to win, lost this time."
In the eyes of a group of reporters, Jordan talked eloquently.
What he said made the reporters' heads move at once.
And soon, the reporters knew who the little guy was.
Last year's best rookie, that is Sun Hao!
Seeing the voices of reporters talking to each other, Jordan knew that his goal had been achieved.
"You all know that little guy, Sun is the reason for my comeback in the first place, he's a very interesting little guy."
Jordan's next words were even more straightforward.
It's a pity that the reporters in the audience are all Americans, and they can't even say a word.
But compared to the previous painless chats, this is definitely breaking news.
Because of Jordan's comeback, it has something to do with Sun Hao!
According to the inverse proposition in mathematics, if Sun Hao doesn't make this bet with Jordan, Jordan will not make a comeback!
In other words, they were able to see Jordan because of Sun Hao!
If the favorability is to be displayed numerically, and the full score is 100, Sun Hao was about 70~80 in their hearts before.
But after Jordan said this, most of the favorability has soared directly to more than 90 or even 100! Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
