Chapter 371: The Palace of Auburn Hills (Second Update)

Since ancient times, there have been many mortal enemies in the same city, how can one mountain accommodate two tigers.

Football circles, Manchester United and Manchester City, AC Milan and Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid to name a few.

Basketball circles, the most famous are the Lakers and the Clippers.

The Lakers, as an old giant, have been crushing the upstart of the Clippers to death.

The Clippers' record has not improved, and it is understandable to think carefully about other aspects.

After the article was published, it quickly aroused a strong response.

Because this issue is too sensitive for the Lakers.

In the past few years, the infighting between Kobe Bryant and O'Neal has been comparable to palace fighting, leaving a huge shadow on both the team and the fans.

If it weren't for Buss Jr. trading Sun Hao, the Lakers would likely have entered a rebuilding period directly this season.

But for fans who love to eat melons and watch dramas, they are happy to see this kind of thing.

What's even worse is that before the next derby game with the Clippers, a reporter directly asked Sun Hao this question.

"Who do you think is the star of the Lakers, you or Shaq?"

This is obviously aimed at engaging people's mentality.

If Sun Hao answers that it is himself, then he is the next Kobe.

If he wants to say that he is not the one who answers, even if he answers the answer of "both of them", he will be regarded as very "soft" and unAmerican.

"Shaq."

However, Sun Hao's answer was very crisp, which simply made the reporter stunned for a moment.

"Shaq has brought three championships to the city, he's still the league's No. 1 center, and he's the star of this team."

Sun Hao was afraid that the reporter would not understand, so he explained directly.

Very unAmerican? He's not an American!

And, he has a hundred reasons to say so.

First of all, O'Neill is 32 years old, and according to the historical process, even if he is the boss of the team, he can only be the boss for another year or two at most, is it unnatural for him to take over?

Secondly, O'Neill's character is the kind of person who eats soft and does not eat hard, Sun Hao said that O'Neill will only be grateful to him.

In fact, if Bryant gave in a little before, O'Neal would not have completely fallen out with him.

In the end, wouldn't it be nice to let O'Neill be the titular boss, and then willingly give more power to himself?

Don't say that O'Neill won't, even Kobe Bryant is willing to let him, and Sun Hao, who has a better relationship with him, will he refuse to let him?

There are many more, this question may be a tangled question for fans, but here in Sun Hao, there is actually an answer for a long time.

However, after Sun Hao's answer was reported by the media, it still caused a lot of controversy.

There are many fans who think that Sun Hao is still that smart player, and he knows what is the most important thing.

There are also many fans who feel that Sun Hao is too weak in this matter.

Even the latter is a little more vocal.

After all, this is the United States, a place where heroism prevails, and this kind of humility is not necessarily well received.

It's just that what happened later made these "American" fans choose to shut up.

Because O'Neill spoke up.

"Son is different from Kobe Bryant, he knows how to play better, he was born to win like me, except for Michael, he is the second player I would like to assist."

Although this is not a direct statement, the meaning is also very clear: Sun Hao is the boss of the Lakers!

Well, O'Neal didn't forget to blacken Kobe Bryant.

This time, the fans didn't get black.

Because Sun Hao said that O'Neill is the boss, and O'Neill said that Sun Hao is the boss, does it still matter who is the boss?

Jim Bass didn't know how many times he smiled insolently.

No contrast, no harm!

Compared with the scene of Kobe and O'Neal fighting for the boss during the OK combination period, the harmonious scene between Sun Hao and O'Neal is too contrasting!

Probably, he would wake up laughing in his dreams.

And, good things come in pairs.

Just after Sun Hao and O'Neal perfectly resolved this possible contradiction, O'Neal's injury recovery was also better than expected.

If nothing else, he'll be back a week before Christmas, and then he'll be able to catch the Christmas game.

There are four Christmas games this year, namely the Pacers vs. the Pistons, the Wizards vs. the Timberwolves, the Spurs vs. the Celtics, and the Lakers vs. the Mavericks.

That's right, Stern scheduled the second meeting between Sun Hao and Kobe Bryant for the Christmas War.

Once for Thanksgiving, once for Christmas, Stern has never been ambiguous when it comes to creating hot spots.

And even though it's only been a month, so much has happened.

Sun Hao broke the single-quarter scoring record, and then scored 60 points, and Kobe Bryant also scored a career high of 58 points, and he was in hot form.

Plus O'Neal is back from injury.

The Christmas war will attract a lot more attention than the Thanksgiving one!

It was definitely going to be the most watched game since the start of the season.

There was only one week left until that began.

O'Neill, who has already started recovery training on the sidelines.

However, he looks a little fatter than before.

This is also something that can't be helped, according to the way he ate with Sun Hao before, he can't exercise after being injured, and it's not scientific to be fat.

Looking at O'Neal's tank-like body, Sun Hao was really worried about O'Neal's injury in the playoffs.

There are two sides to everything.

Riley tormented O'Neal, making O'Neal's thumb injury worse.

But Riley's original intention was probably also to let O'Neill lose weight.

Who can guarantee that O'Neill will have a longer career than in history if he doesn't train like that devil and continues to torture and gain weight?

Sun Hao was a little worried.

Although he was in good form in the previous period, he broke all kinds of records.

But when it comes to the playoffs, O'Neal is scrapped, and letting him lead this Lakers team to win the championship alone is a bit of a fantasy for him.

Winning the championship is not only based on your own performance, but also on your opponent.

Let's not talk about anything else, without O'Neal, Duncan can call the Lakers Daddy, no, Grandpa.

So, reducing O'Neal's injury risk, or in other words, making O'Neill lose weight, is something he has to do.

It just so happened that he had already planned before.

Lakers vs. Bulls, Chinese derby.

The Bulls are significantly worse this season than last season and are now at the bottom of the East.

Chandler was reimbursed for the season due to injury, and although Yi Jianlian's performance has improved compared to last season, the form of the star Francis has declined seriously.

At the same time, he also broke the news of having an affair with a unique product off the field.

The Bulls have only been in a good season before they are in turmoil again.

There wasn't much suspense in the game either.

Sun Hao played three quarters and scored 30 points and 8 assists, clocking out of work.

Yi Jianlian also only played three quarters and scored 15 points and 7 boards.

The data is not bad, but his mood is completely different from Sun Hao's relaxation.

After the game, Sun Hao and Yi Jianlian hugged in the midfield.

"It's going to get better soon, don't forget, you're an Olympic champion now."

Sun Hao knew that Yi Jianlian's personality had changed, but he was still more sensitive.

This reassurance of his also worked.

Although the two played in different cities, he was still the one who excited Sun Hao to see him play.

After the game, the Lakers returned to the locker room to rest.

That includes O'Neal, who has already started recovery training, but there will be a transition period for his weight.

According to the current progress, it is estimated that he will be able to play in the Christmas game.

"Guys, can I sit on the bench and watch you win the championship?"

O'Neill asked laughing as he came in.

"That's not going to work, Shaq, then Mr. Jim might cut you off next season and we'll lose you."

Of course, it was Damon Jones who was even more funny.

There was laughter in the dressing room.

O'Neal smiled and went up and gave Jones a "punch", but he didn't seem to be willing to play the team's pistachio, so he just touched it lightly.

"Guys, to celebrate the victory, today I invite you all to eat a fruit."

Sun Hao said and opened the wardrobe.

Suddenly, a burst of "fragrance" immediately filled the entire locker room.

"What kind of shit is this!"

Jones, who had never eaten durian in his life, felt himself smell of.

Over there, Horry had slipped out of the locker room.

But most of them still sit relatively calmly.

Durian is a fruit produced in Southeast Asia, but it is actually quite popular in the United States.

Not everyone has eaten it, but most people still know it.

"I had to leave beforehand."

O'Neal's expression was similar to Jones's, but he soon slipped away like Horry.

He felt like he could save on tonight's dinner and bedtime steak.

Looking at O'Neill who left, Sun Hao was also a little sorry.

But in order to make O'Neill lose weight, he can only make this decision.

Sun Hao thought so.

It's just that what happened the next day made him feel like he was completely defeated.

Because on the way to the training session, he met O'Neill in the garage.

O'Neill, this guy is nibbling on a large double-layer beef burger!

Sun Hao asked.

Okay, this guy lost his appetite by Sun Hao's durian last night, so he had to insert the bedtime steak that he didn't eat yesterday and make up for it this morning......

Sun Hao is autistic.

He suddenly admired Pat Riley a little.

Although the way was a bit extreme, Riley really allowed O'Neal to keep his weight in the end.

In fact, in O'Neal's autobiography "Unedited Shaq", O'Neill mentioned his "fear" of Riley:

"One night, I noticed a guy outside the window, who seemed to be dressed in black, and that was Coach Riley, who stole a police car, broke into my mansion, found my room, and knocked on my window just so I could get up and train."

Sun Hao, obviously can't do this.

Because Riley was the president and head coach of the Heat at the time, and he was the top of the team.

But no matter how good his relationship with O'Neal is, after all, he is just a teammate.

It seems that the matter of letting O'Neill lose weight can only be discussed in the long run.

Time flies, and it's Christmas in the blink of an eye.

The long-awaited Christmas game has finally kicked off.

The first game was played between the Pacers and Pistons in the East.

The national opener of this Christmas war is also in the spotlight.

The two teams collided with each other last season, and in this kind of high-profile game, it is bound to be more intense.

That's the part that fans are looking forward to.

But the truth is more exaggerated than they imagined.

Because during the game, there was the worst brawl in the history of the NBA.

Auburn Hills palace brawl!

With 45.9 seconds left before the end, the Pacers were 15 points ahead of the Pistons, and there was not much suspense in the game.

But both defensive teams played with a lot of tempers at this point.

Artest's foul on Big Ben was relatively large, and he was chased by Big Ben for a while, almost causing a large-scale clash between the players on both sides.

Fortunately, Anthony stepped up at the crucial moment and pulled Big Ben back to the bench.

Artest was also persuaded to go back and lie down on the referee's bench to rest.

Everything seems to have been settled, just wait until the game is over and the matter will be over.

But at this moment, a member of the audience in the front row threw the paper cup with beer directly at Artest.

Artest was already furious, and this time he was directly enraged, jumped into the audience and began to beat up the fan (who was later proven to be the wrong person), and the rest of the Pacers followed.

For a while, the game scene became a scene of players and fans beating each other.

Soon the security guards entered to maintain the almost out-of-control scene, and Artest was forcibly brought back to the bench.

However, this is not the end of it!

Two more Pistons fans rushed to Artest to provoke, and Artest was once again enraged.

Another almost out-of-control fight.

Artest is like a ring, Round1 ends and Round2 ends.

Then, there's Round3......

As the game ended early and the Pacers were about to go back to the locker room, the Pistons fans near the aisle began throwing drinks, popcorn and even the bench at them!

After O'Neal Jr. was hit by the bench, Artest started Round3.

Although the conflict was eventually quelled, the scene was already chaotic.

Before the game against the Mavericks, the Lakers players were relaxing.

Sun Hao and O'Neill watched the live broadcast of the game in the team lounge.

The two ate the popcorn brought by O'Neal, but they didn't expect to see such a game, and they were shocked that the popcorn in their mouths fell.

Sun Hao, I really didn't expect it.

The 2004~2005 season was a wonderful season in history.

Maddie's 35.13 seconds, Auburn Hills Palace, these are the most important events of the season.

The 35.13 seconds occurred at the same time in history, and as for Auburn Hills, it happened in November.

He didn't show up in December, thinking that his presence had changed history.

After all, the Pistons now have more Anthony and less Hamilton, and the lineup is different.

But unexpectedly, it still came, and at the Christmas war.

This is even more violent than in history!

Actually, it's right to think about it, Hamilton has become a social melon, well......

It is foreseeable that tomorrow Stern's anger will be greater than in history.

Of course, that's all for tomorrow.

Just as they ate popcorn and ate it, the fans who ate melons watched excitedly.

Even this thing is like lighting an atomic bomb in advance to celebrate, which makes fans look forward to the next Lakers battle even more.

After all, it's Christmas, the Palace of Auburn Hills and the Battle of the Lakers.

This day will definitely leave a thick mark in history.
