Chapter 506: Sun Hao and Durant (First Update!) )
Barkley was well known in Sun Hao's era because Yao Ming finally kissed the donkey's buttocks.
Of course, most people only know about that thing, and don't have a deep understanding of the background of the matter.
Yao Ming was elected champion, there is no Sun Hao in history, and that is the first overseas champion in NBA history, and he is still a yellow race.
Therefore, the doubts and discrimination he suffered are unimaginable to many people.
It wasn't Buckley who questioned him alone, it can be said that most of the American media had a bad attitude towards him at that time.
The most representative is Steve Cole, who was still a narrator at the time.
In his commentary, he directly refers to Yao Ming as "Chinaman", which means "Chinaman" in American culture.
Not to mention that even the little-known center Cato would ask Yao Ming to bend down to tie his shoes.
A leopard can be seen in the tube.
It was in such a big environment, coupled with Yao Ming who did not participate in the Houston team's training camp because he played the national team, and he did not score a point in his debut.
Barkley then uttered the classic phrase after the game: "If he can score 19 points, I'll kiss Kenny's ass".
Besides, Durant, becoming the champion was an accident, and he was still a high school student who couldn't do 84KG bench press.
Coupled with the comparison between James and Howard, the outside world's doubts about him can be seen from the boos he received at the draft.
Including the reaction of the fans who missed Durant's consecutive shots in the opening game during his debut, it can also be felt.
Then there's the high hopes from Barkley himself, and a performance of just four points on 2-of-17 shooting.
The background is so similar, except that Yao Ming has changed from Durant to 19 points to 30 points.
Then, there's another detail that will be overlooked, and Barkley is talking about "this year", which is the same thing he said about Yao Ming in history.
In other words, Barkley's history is that Yao Ming can't adapt to the NBA game in the first two months, and now he is betting that there is a little more than a month left, and Durant can't adapt to the NBA confrontation and can't score high.
You think people are stupid and just want to create a gimmick, but Barkley is not stupid at all.
Merely......
He lost his bet in history, and now he ...... It's hard to say.
Yao Ming started the game poorly because he didn't participate in team training, and as the season deepened, his tacit understanding with his teammates increased, and there was still a good chance of scoring 20 points.
But Durant's increase in core strength and confrontation is not something that will happen overnight.
You say that Durant can score 30 points in his rookie season, then the answer is yes.
But this year, which is a little more than a month, at most seventeen or eighteen games, it's really hard to say.
"Otherwise, I'll go and talk to Don, no matter what Kevin's state is, let him let go and throw it, throw thirty or forty balls, there must be 30 points."
Sun Hao opened his mouth and said.
O'Neill laughed.
This is obviously a joke.
The Warriors aren't at the point where they are rotten, and Nelson Sr. won't do that.
Although he would love to see the scene where the Barkley guy kisses Kenny Smith's ass, it is still up to him how Durant beats him.
After the two talked about Durant, they talked about the Lakers' sworn rivals, the Celtics.
The Celtics' 6-3 record so far this season is still somewhat surprising.
Pierce and Ray Allen are very compatible, and the most unexpected is Al Jefferson on the inside.
Jefferson is only 2.08 meters tall, which is generally only a big forward.
So last season when Gasol was in the team, he played as Gasol's substitute.
The performance has occasional flashes and is generally unremarkable.
Fortunately, he also entered the league as a high school student, and now he is only 21 years old in his third year of rookie.
It's important to mention Jefferson's high school stats.
Although Jefferson is not tall enough as an interior and has average defense, he averaged 42 points, 18 rebounds and 7 blocks per game in high school!
This is the key to his ability to be a lottery pick in the first place, and it also shows that he is indeed talented on the offensive end.
Gasol left, and he successfully became the team's starting power forward, partnering Kendrick Perkins to complement each other offensively and defensively.
Coupled with the fact that Pierce and Ray Allen are contained on the outside, he has a lot of room to play on the inside.
So far this season, he has averaged 17 points, 11 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game, and his shooting percentage is as high as 51.4%.
In terms of data alone, it is not worse than the previous Gasol.
Coupled with the team's good record, he can be said to have become a hot newcomer in the league.
While chatting, Cecilia's steamed yellow croaker was already cooked.
When the lid is opened, a scent wafts through the nose.
It can be seen that Cecilia has put in real effort.
But when O'Neill saw the eyes of the fish that had turned white from steaming, and the head of the fish, he was a little afraid to try it.
Sun Hao moved his chopsticks first and ate a piece.
Soft and sweet, fragrant lips and teeth.
He nodded, then gave Cecilia a thumbs up.
It's really good.
"Try it."
Sun Hao turned around and motioned for O'Neill to make a move.
O'Neill hesitated for a moment, but finally took a fork and forked a small piece down.
He looked at it for a long time, and finally prepared to put it in his mouth.
"Dip some soup."
Sun Hao opened his mouth and said.
O'Neill nodded, dipped some soup in his mouth, and put it in his mouth.
This small piece of fish meat is like a small grain of popcorn in his mouth.
But don't say it, after he tasted it, there was a look of wonder in his eyes.
It was the first time he had tasted anything like this.
And it feels pretty good!
He even unconsciously remembered the tofu brain that Sun Hao had given him.
Sure enough, although it looks weird, what Sun Hao recommends is all good things!
Soon, the plate of small yellow croaker was swept away by O'Neill.
Although for someone of O'Neill's size, it is just a plug between the teeth.
But after eating, he had already made a decision.
"I'll have to hire another Chinese chef!"
O'Neill's reaction was real.
What teammates make Chinese food that is delicious and can't put it down, it's not scientific, isn't it more convenient and delicious to spend money to hire a chef to make it?
Sun Hao smiled and nodded.
He was helping O'Neill officially open the door to a new world.
This will be a big boost to O'Neal's weight loss career.
……
Seeing off O'Neill, Sun Hao turned on his phone with interest.
He wanted to see if the "new users" on social media were about to spew Barkley out.
If you want to say that the biggest difference between Durant and Yao Ming, it is this place.
However, he opened his phone and looked around, and surprisingly found that there was none!
Just when he was thinking about whether he had entered the situation of "it's early, the picture hasn't come yet", his mobile phone rang.
At first glance, it was Durant who called.
Durant, want to come to him.
……
Sitting on the plane to Los Angeles, Durant's mood was a little irritable.
Looking for Sun Hao, he had thought about it before when he didn't play well.
It's just that Sun Hao followed the Lakers to play away before, and this matter was delayed.
Now that Sun Hao is back, he still has a game that can be described as "shit", and he knows that he can't delay it any longer.
As for why he didn't go to spray Barkley this time.
Quite simply, he enjoys scaring people with his trumpet, but he doesn't go berserk without impotence.
But that was enough to annoy him.
It's not because of last night's game, but because his core strength and confrontation are improving too slowly!
There's not much time left in this year's game, and he probably won't really be able to punch Barkley in the face!
Although it may seem like this is just another big mouth from Barkley.
But if he fails to slap his face, he will definitely be mentioned by Barkley again and again, and then become a black spot in his career.
So he had to slap him in the face!
……
Walking into Sun Hao's villa in Beverly Hills, Durant couldn't help but show envy in his eyes.
When will he be able to own such a house.
When they got to the living room and sat down, the maid "Mary", oh no, Scarlett made them a cup of coffee and went down.
After the filming of the movie "Buried Alive", Scarlett did not take over the film again because she was preparing for pregnancy.
"My sister-in-law is so beautiful."
Durant drank a cup of coffee and couldn't help but praise.
“……”
Sun Hao wondered if he was going to check the sewer at night.
"You're looking for me because of Barkley's show?"
Sun Hao got to the point.
Durant just said on the phone that he was coming to him, not what he was going to do.
"That guy is targeting me, and I want to embarrass him."
Durant nodded, the corners of his mouth furrowed as he said this.
Sun Hao nodded.
"Then what do you think about it?"
"I want to go to Don and ask him to give me a match with unlimited firing rights, and I believe that if it is just one game, he will definitely agree."
What Durant said was exactly the same as what Sun Hao joked with O'Neal before.
The only difference is that he said this in a serious tone, and he was really prepared to do so.
Sun Hao exhaled a long breath.
Durant's emotional intelligence, there is progress!
At least do this, know to come and ask him first.
"Kevin, have you ever thought about the possibility that even if you did score 30 points in this way, Barkley would not admit it?"
"Uh...... Nonrecognition? ”
Durant, I really didn't think about this.
"He said that you are brushing the data, not counting, and then then he continues to tease you."
Sun Hao continued, his expression was very serious.
That's why he told O'Neill that it was a joke.
He had been teammates with Barkley for a year and knew Barkley's personality better.
Barkley is the kind of guy who, unless you convince him, can play a scoundrel with you until he can't help it.
In history, he was willing to gamble and lose not because of how good others were, but simply because he knew that he underestimated Yao Ming like other media.
And so it was, that 20-point game was just the beginning.
Yao Ming is getting better and better, and his performance is becoming more and more consistent, and soon after, he scored the first 30 points of his career against the Mavericks.
If Barkley hadn't kept his promise, you can imagine what he would have been teased by his peers and fans.
But now the situation is completely different.
The data that Durant brushed out does not mean that he already has that ability.
In other words, even if Durant scores 30 points once, the rest of the game may still be as up and down as before.
Barkley made a big fuss, and it was Durant who was ridiculed by the media and fans at that time.
And it is foreseeable that when the time comes, nicknames such as "Du Brush" and "Du 30" will definitely emerge in endlessly.
Even if Durant has thousands of trumpets, it is estimated that he will not be able to hold back.
"He dares!"
“……”
Sun Hao, after all, still overestimated Durant's EQ!
"You know the rhythm of this thing, once you get up, the power of the individual is very small."
Sun Hao said with feeling.
In his previous life, the era of the Internet was developed, and it was a world where "rhythm" was embodied to the extreme.
The scary thing is not the thing itself, but the fact that it is passed on to the hundred, which does not give you a chance to resist at all.
"I ...... What to do? ”
Durant originally wanted to say that he had thousands of trumpets, but this kind of thing couldn't be known to Sun Hao.
"The best way, of course, is for you to raise yourself to the point where you can score 30 points."
Sun Hao opened his mouth and said.
Durant was stunned for a moment.
Because Sun Hao said a word of nonsense!
Of course he wanted to, but he couldn't!
"I don't have enough time."
He concluded with the most critical issues.
It's been more than a month!
"Enough, how can it not be enough? How many times a day do you train now? How often at a time? ”
Sun Hao asked.
"2 times, once with the team, once with the team, once with your own practice, 2 hours of extra practice."
Durant was still more confident when he said this.
He trains the most of any Warriors player.
"Add it up to 3 times, and then again in the evening."
"That's not scientific, my body will not be able to bear it."
Durant immediately retorted.
His training plan is the most reasonable and efficient arranged by the team's coach.
"It's scientific, because somebody has done it, even more."
Sun Hao continued.
"Who?"
"Kobe."
Sun Hao didn't say anything about himself, although he trained more than Kobe's.
But after all, he has time to cheat, and this thing is unique.
But the truth is the same.
Again, talent determines the upper limit, and attitude determines the lower limit.
Durant has no shortage of talent, so if he wants to raise the lower limit, he is to push himself.
"Don't say you can't do it, don't say you're going to try, if you don't want to be teased by Barkley all the time, your answer should be that you can do it."
Sun Hao looked directly at Durant before he spoke.
Although Barkley was a teammate with him for a year, he didn't want to lose Durant in this late but late bet.
It's his preference for Durant.
"I can do it!"
Durant said through gritted teeth.
"Don't worry, there are 24 hours in a day, and even if you train once, you'll only put 6 hours into it, less than a third, so it's actually very easy to think about?"
Sun Hao said with a smile.
If you want to train well, your mood is also very important.
"It's not easy, except for sleeping, eating, resting, and the necessary interval between training, this kind of training intensity is absolutely devilish."
Durant retorted.
“……”
Sun Hao coughed dryly.
This emotional intelligence is still more exercised.
