Chapter 134: The World Is in Turmoil
It's been a while since the NSAA started, and this newcomer named James has led St. Mary's High School to a 12-game winning streak!
So far this season, we have not tasted a defeat!
In those 12 games, he averaged 18 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists per game.
The stats don't look much eye-catching at first glance, but you have to know that he is only a freshman in high school! Not even 16 years old!
And the key is this newcomer's style of play, who can shoot, break through and pass, is simply a copy of the magician.
Of course, in addition to his abilities, his story is also very touching.
When I was born, my mother was only 16 years old, my father didn't know who it was, I grew up in a slum, moved 12 times at the age of 5~8, and was in a place like Cleveland (the big four leagues have never won a championship, and it is known as a city that has nothing to do with sports).
This background is very American, and once he does play it out in the end, it will be an inspirational role model for a generation.
When Sun Hao arrived at the stadium, the two teams had already begun to warm up.
Sun Hao didn't have a chance to go down to greet Yi Jianlian, so he only waved from a long distance.
He is here again when Yi Jianlian's Joselene came.
It was at this time that Sun Hao met James, who was not yet 16 years old.
The iconic headband, protruding front jaw, and slightly curly flat head, although he is still very young, his appearance is firmly in line with the memory of James.
During the warm-up, James showed off a few dunks, showing off his physical fitness, which also attracted a lot of cheers from the audience.
Los Angeles is a megacity, playing here, and it's an invitational tournament, so it's definitely how to show off.
After the warm-up between the two teams, the game began quickly.
James made fans full of expectations before the game, but after the game started, the most dazzling person on the field was not James, but Yi Jianlian!
Yi Jianlian opened with a mid-range throw, showing his soft touch.
Immediately afterwards, he caught the ball and shook the opponent's center, rushed into the interior and dunked with one hand, which instantly detonated the atmosphere of the arena.
He's in good shape tonight!
After dunking, Yi Jianlian habitually looked at Sun Hao in the stands.
Bob followed Yi Jianlian's gaze and found Sun Hao, with a smile on his face that couldn't be hidden.
He knew it!
Facts have proven that as long as Sun Hao is in the game, Yi Jianlian's performance will not be bad!
Tonight, the team has a good chance of getting a win.
The game is also going in the direction he was expecting.
After 10 minutes of the first half, Sierra Leone Canyons School led 16-10.
Yi Jianlian scored 8 points and 3 rebounds, and his performance was quite eye-catching.
However, when the main team came back in the first half, there was an obvious change on the field.
St. Mary's High School actually used James to counter Yi Jianlian.
At this time, James was not fully developed, and his height was only 1.95 meters.
On the other hand, Yi Jianlian is 2.10 meters, and the difference between the two is a full 15 centimeters, more than half a head.
Nobody thought it was a good set of counterpoints because it was a misalignment at all, but when it did, they found out......
James, so strong!
The most intuitive experience is that he and Yi Jianlian have the absolute upper hand in physical confrontation.
It was difficult for Yi Jianlian to enter the three-second zone.
Yi Jianlian's attack was dumb, and St. Mary's High School took advantage of the situation to counterattack.
And James spent so much physical effort on the defensive end that he could still stage violent dunks in the fast break continuously!
Sun Hao was also surprised to see on the sidelines.
This physical fitness is really drooling, you must know that James is not even 16 years old!
It's no wonder that American fans and media in history would praise James so highly before he entered the league.
It's really talented.
In the end, St. Mary's High School defeated Sierra Valley School 62-52 to extend the winning streak to 13 games.
While James defended Yi Jianlian, he also delivered 17 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists.
Yi Jianlian's performance first rose and then declined, and finally got 12 points and 8 boards.
After the game, Sun Hao noticed a small detail on the field.
James and Yi Jianlian shook hands and pulled each other and said something.
When the players all left the court, Sun Hao went to the locker room of Canyons School.
Yi Jianlian looked a little depressed, he originally wanted to play a beautiful game in front of Sun Hao as in the past.
Sun Hao couldn't tell Yi Jianlian that the opponent he faced tonight would be one of the top three or even better small forwards in history, but he still comforted him not to care.
"I was also bad at Bowen when I was in Miami and you can't beat everybody, but a game like this can motivate you to get stronger and wait until next year, or even next year, to see how much you improve."
Sun Hao is still very good at fooling people, and Yi Jianlian's mood is obviously much better after listening to it.
"By the way, what did he say to you after the game?"
Sun Hao asked curiously.
"He said I was very talented and wanted to have the opportunity to play in the NBA with me in the future, and there were some things that I didn't understand too quickly."
Sun Hao nodded after listening.
James is already very good at being a man at a young age.
However, with Bosh and James in the past, how does he think that Yi Jianlian, who has not changed his age, is more and more likely to become a member of the 03 generation?
"Hurry up and learn English."
Sun Hao patted Yi Jianlian on the shoulder.
"By the way, Brother Hao, do you still have a ticket for tomorrow night's game?"
Yi Jianlian asked suddenly.
"Didn't I give you one before?"
Sun Hao was full of doubts.
"Well, it's my classmate, who said he wanted to go and see it together."
Yi Jianlian scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
"Yes! I'm going to help you get two sits! ”
Sun Hao's face was overjoyed when he heard this.
Yi Jianlian is not only a teammate, but has already begun to communicate with his classmates.
He suddenly felt that according to this development, Yi Jianlian's character could really be changed.
……
The next morning, the Mavericks' two-hour training session was completely closed.
Nelson Sr. has only one thing to do, three-point shooting.
Sun Hao could feel that the night game was destined to be a contest between hunters and minotaur warriors.
That night, the Staples Center was packed.
In the front row of the audience, you can see many Hollywood movie stars when you look up.
Of course, the most eye-catching is Jack Nicholson.
The Academy Award-winning actor has rarely missed Lakers home games since the '70s.
A black jacket and black sunglasses have become a beautiful sight in the Staples Center.
Even the first time many fans go to the Staples Center, they don't look at the players on the field, but at the two positions that belong to him in the front row on the sidelines.
Sun Hao...... Didn't look that way.
After he entered the stadium, he immediately found Yi Jianlian's location, and then was ready to stretch out his hand to say hello.
But after seeing the person sitting next to Yi Jianlian, he felt like he had been pierced through the heart for a moment.
Because the one next to her is a woman!
Female!!
Dig the groove!
What the hell did I do!
In these days, is it fashionable to trick dogs into coming in and then killing them?!
The boat of friendship is overturned!
However, it can be seen that Yi Jianlian is very popular with women in Sierra Leone!
No, no, you have to cut off the relationship, your brother Hao is still single!
Sun Hao withdrew his gaze and felt a nameless fire in his chest.
He glanced at the next half and saw Kobe Bryant, who was being interviewed on the sidelines.
Thinking of the scene where Kobe Bryant deliberately ignored him before, he must be angry today!
……
"Kobe, do you know that Sun is crazy?"
In the interview with Kobe Bryant was Zhang Weiping and Zhang Gui.
Because he's been a resident reporter in Los Angeles, he's mixed well at the Staples Center and has already gotten mixed in for pre-game interviews.
Although I can't interview O'Neal, it's good to interview Kobe.
And he himself likes Kobe Bryant.
"No, I don't know."
Bryant shook his head with a straight face.
"It's Sun, the rookie, the rookie he singled out with you during the tryout, and you played ten rounds."
Zhang Weiping tried to help Kobe recall.
"I don't want to discuss this right now."
But what he didn't expect was that Kobe Bryant actually skipped this topic directly.
"Well, what do you think of tonight's opponent, the Mavericks?"
Zhang Weiping touched his nose and knew that Kobe Bryant didn't want to talk about Sun Hao, so he could only change the topic.
'They've had a really good season, they've had a long winning streak, their shooters have been really good, Dirk, Sun, Nash, Tony Kukoc, we have to watch out for that.'
Kobe Bryant's next words made Director Zhang stunned.
You obviously said that you didn't know Sun Hao, and now you mentioned Sun Hao again......
This Kobe is really a weirdo.
……
"Hey, Sun."
As soon as Sun Hao's warm-up was over, a burly figure came to him.
O'Neill actually took the initiative to come over and greet him.
This bit stunned Sun Hao.
He and O'Neill didn't have anything to do with each other before.
"Hey, Shaq."
He greeted him out of politeness.
He wondered why O'Neill had come over to say hello.
But it seems that people just come to say hello.
The next few words of chatting are also idle and not.
When O'Neill left, Sun Hao couldn't help but reach out and scratch his head.
Kobe, who knew him, deliberately ignored him, and O'Neal, who had never met him, took the initiative to come over to greet him.
The world is a bit of a mess.
……
After the warm-up on both sides, the scene quickly entered the opening ceremony.
Sun Hao's fist salute drew a burst of cheers from the audience.
Compared to Dallas, there are many more Chinese in Los Angeles.
And one thing that cannot be ignored is that Sun Hao's series of performances in Los Angeles really won him a lot of popularity here.
Coupled with the fact that people in Los Angeles are particularly fond of watching the excitement, this reaction is not surprising at all.
But when the home team came out on the finale, the cheers on the scene instantly went to another dimension.
Although Kobe Bryant wants to prove himself this season, no one can change the popularity of the big sharks now.
What four quarterbacks, four forwards, Jordan's successor, at this time can only stand aside.
If the media captures Kobe's eyes at this time, envy, jealousy and hate are the best adjectives.
After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of the two teams were also released one after another.
On the Lakers' side, Ron Harper and Kobe Bryant on the outside, Reagan Fox and Hores Grant on the front, and O'Neal at center.
On the Mavericks' side, Nelson Sr. did not adjust the starting lineup, and it was still the lineup of Nash, Sun Hao, Finley, Nowitzki and Leitner.
"Director Zhang, what do you think Sun Hao's performance will be today?"
On the broadcast seat, Su Qun asked Zhang Weiping.
"I think ah, Xiao Sun is going to break out today."
Zhang Weiping said with a smile.
"Why?"
Su Qun was full of curiosity, and Zhang Weiping seemed to be very ...... every time Optimism.
You know, the Mavericks are facing the defending champions tonight!
And according to the starting lineup that just came out, the person who is opposite Sun Hao, or the person who defends Sun Hao, is Kobe.
Kobe Bryant was on the defensive last season.
"You see, Xiao Sun has a trait, that is, when he meets a strong opponent, he will play better, you see how he played the 76ers before, right? Playing the Lakers today, he'll do the same. ”
Su Qun listened to it beside him and couldn't refute it, because Zhang Weiping was talking nonsense seriously.
Then Sun Hao's other 20+ was obtained when he played the Nets, and the Nets have nothing to do with the strong team!
However, he has partnered with Zhang Weiping many times, and he also knows that the old man is this commentary style, capricious!
And speaking of which, the last time Zhang Weiping had a hunch was when the Mavericks played the Raptors in the opening game.
At that time, Sun Hao scored 18 points in his debut.
I hope that the sixth sense of an old man like Zhang Weiping can be fulfilled again! Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
