Chapter 218: What Was Kobe Thinking? (Ask for a commuter pass!) )

Mid-range marksman: Slightly improves mid-range shooting consistency.

The moment the badge was unlocked, like Nowitzki, Sun Hao felt that all the hard work and sweat in the summer was worth it.

After unlocking the badge, Sun Hao also motioned for Old Nelson to replace him.

This scene made Popovich's face even more ugly.

"You're enjoying the game."

When Sun Hao got off the field, Nowitzki said to Sun Hao.

"Don't you enjoy it?"

Sun Hao asked with a smile.

Nowitzki laughed and nodded.

It's a game like this, and every player on the Mavericks is enjoying it.

"But I think Don enjoyed it the most."

After Sun Hao finished speaking, he glanced at old Nelson.

Nowitzki turned his head to see that old Nelson was radiant, and he felt like he was drunk.

In the end, the Mavericks defeated the Spurs 103-86 at home, ushering in a four-game winning streak since the start of the season.

Nowitzki had 25 points and 7 rebounds, Sun Hao had 20 points and 5 assists, and Finley had 16 points.

After the game, the two teams shook hands in midfield.

When Sun Hao saw Popovich and old Nelson shaking hands, his whole face turned green.

When it came to the post-game press conference, Nelson Sr. naturally did not miss such an opportunity.

"Somebody told me that I can't win the championship in my way, whether I can win the championship is another matter, but I can win him."

This sentence sounds a bit unscrupulous, but both Sun Hao and Nowitzki know how long old Nelson has been holding back.

It has been half a year since the end of last year's playoffs.

The average person has to suffocate, let alone the old Nelson.

You have to pretend when it's time to pretend.

The home team's press conference ended, followed by the visitors.

"I still hate the three-point shot, for me, it's not basketball at all."

Popovich's words at this time were even more fierce than in the playoffs last season, and it is conceivable that he was really disgusted from the bottom of his heart.

"But you have to take advantage of it, if you don't use three points, you're going to be in big trouble like we were tonight."

But this time there was a twist in his words.

He wasn't a stubborn old man like Larry Brown, and after a big defeat, he began to reflect.

For the Spurs, the loss was worthwhile.

Of course, the three-point shot is not something that happens overnight, and if the Spurs want to change, they will definitely go through a process.

But those have nothing to do with the current Mavericks.

Winning the Spurs, opening the season with four straight wins, is off to a bit of a good start to the season for the Dallasians.

It's off to a good start, and the team is building chemistry quickly.

In the next half month, they barely lost.

By the time the time came late November, they had a 9-1 record, second only to the Lakers, the same record as the Timberwolves, and second in the West!

Such a performance excites Dallas fans, who have every reason to believe that the team can go one step further in the playoffs.

And with Cecilia's help, Sun Hao also found himself opening the door to a new world.

After following Cecilia's recipe strictly, he felt more energetic than before, and even less prone to fatigue.

While he was pleasantly surprised by this change, he also had a feeling of hating Cecilia for seeing each other late.

If Fu Paul had brought her in last season, he would have been able to improve on his performances last season.

"I'll have to give you more money."

This morning, Sun Hao Chiguo's upper body, Cecilia was using an instrument to measure his body data, and he spoke.

On the one hand, the effect was significant, and on the other hand, he could feel that Cecilia was tired of doing the work of two people alone.

However, he didn't look for a new chef, because he felt that Cecilia should be short of money.

"Good news."

Cecilia said with a smile, then motioned for him to put his hands up.

"Can I come to your house?"

Sun Hao then asked.

He was simply a little curious, theoretically speaking, there must be no shortage of people to invite this kind of talent, and the salary he gave was not low, but he was still so short of money.

"Of course you can, but my house is a bit far from here."

Cecilia's personality is more open-minded, very American.

The two of them had made a reservation, but not now.

The Mavericks' next game against the Lakers is the Lakers.

The Lakers have won 10 straight games so far this season without a single defeat.

It's incredible.

You must know that the new rules introduced by the league are almost all aimed at O'Neal and the Lakers.

As a result, O'Neal scored no less, and 30+10 was still easy to achieve.

Such a performance also puts an end to the question that will be raised in the future: whether O'Neal will be able to adapt to the small-ball era.

An all-time superstar of O'Neal's level is too capable of adapting to the rules, and he will most likely play back the small-ball era.

Of course, Kobe's progress is also visible to the naked eye, and his desire to score is reawakening.

An interesting statistic is that in the 10 games the Lakers won, Kobe Bryant scored more than O'Neal in five games.

Bombarding indiscriminately, chopping melons and chopping vegetables, O'Neal who has undergone toe surgery and Kobe Bryant, who is full of scoring desires, the Lakers are like a basketball show.

Against such an opponent, the game was predictably tough.

The day before the game, the Mavericks arrived in Los Angeles as a team.

After the day's training, Sun Hao went to Sierra Leone Canyon College to watch Yi Jianlian play in the evening.

Yi Jianlian's opponent tonight is Lincoln High School led by Bosh.

Bosh has gained some muscle and weight over the past summer, and the improvement has been significant, averaging 20 points and 14 rebounds per game so far this season.

Yi Jianlian has made great progress this season, and his average of 19+11 per game is not much inferior.

But I don't know if it's because of Sun Hao's presence, or because he has become Bosh's lifelong enemy.

In this game, he swept 25 points and 9 boards, suppressed the opposite Bosh's 17 points and 7 boards, and also helped Sierra Leone Canyons Academy win the game.

After the game, Sun Hao went down to the venue and gave Yi Jianlian a big hug.

When he was watching from the stands, he noticed that there were a lot of NBA scouts on the scene.

Whether it is Bosh or Yi Jianlian, this is their last year of high school.

In other words, they all have the opportunity to log in directly to the NBA.

Playing well in such an important game belongs to the kind of top two.

"Brother Hao, I just ate a dumpling."

However, when Sun Hao told Yi Jianlian about this, Yi Jianlian scratched his head and said.

Sun Hao smiled and touched his head.

In the past two years, Yi Jianlian has become a lot more cheerful, but his introverted personality is still there, which makes him not arrogant or impatient.

In a sense, Yi Jianlian with such a personality may be the most suitable.

During the day the next day, the Mavericks prepare for the game at the Staples Center Training Gym.

It was at this time that the old Nelson brought them news that they did not expect.

Because of the recurrence of the toe injury, O'Neill will not play in the evening game.

After the news was announced, the Mavericks team members immediately cheered.

Without O'Neal's Lakers, their chances of winning are much greater.

Sun Hao noticed that Nowitzki's expression was different, and he looked a little disappointed.

He went over and asked.

"If Shaq doesn't play, we can't compare the strength with the Lakers."

Nowitzki's next words express his thoughts.

That's the idea that many of the Mavericks' players are thinking about.

The run-in is getting better and better, the record is also rising, and the Mavericks' thinking has changed.

Their goal this season was to beat the Spurs one step further, but now they've set their sights on a championship.

It depends on whether that kind of idea is a goal that can be worked on or just an unrealistic fantasy, and you have to fight with the western giants.

The Spurs have already won, and the Lakers are the next and more testable one.

O'Neill is now suddenly saying that he will not fight, and it is normal for Nowitzki to have this reaction.

"Don't underestimate them, they still have Kobe."

Sun Hao opened his mouth to remind.

When Adi traveled to China before, Sun Hao already felt that Kobe Bryant had evolved again.

And it was just the beginning of the offseason, and with Kobe's kind of training intensity, he would only get stronger after a summer.

Nowitzki nodded.

Sun Hao's reminder is very timely, no matter whether O'Neal plays or not, winning the Lakers team morale is a huge boost.

After all, the Lakers, who ended a 10-game winning streak, sounded pretty good.

That night, the Staples Center was packed.

Despite Jordan's return, the 911 incident still caused a significant decline in NBA attendance.

However, there are two teams in this league that are unlikely to have low attendance.

One is the New York Knicks, and the other is the Los Angeles Lakers.

In two super first-tier cities in the United States, the activity of watching football has become an indispensable part of many people's daily life.

In the front row of the stands, Nicholson, the Lakers' number one fan, also sat there with sunglasses and a drink in his hand.

When the Lakers players entered, he pulled Kobe Bryant and chattered.

If you are careful, many people may find that Nicholson is a fan of the Lakers, rather than Kobe.

During the pre-game warm-up, Kobe Bryant also chatted with Sun Hao in the midcourt for a while.

The two of them traveled to China together before, and their relationship is much closer than before.

"You must be thinking that Shaq is not there, you can end my 10-game winning streak, impossible."

Kobe Bryant said very firmly in the chat.

Sun Hao smiled and didn't speak.

"If I need to, I can score 40 points, or even 50 points, and I can lead the team to win alone."

After Kobe Bryant saw Sun Hao's reaction, he added.

"Yes, you can be the king of Los Angeles."

After listening to this, Sun Hao put away his smile and nodded very seriously.

Kobe Bryant also nodded seriously.

Sun Hao's recognition of him is something that no one else has.

The two chatted about the same and prepared to go back to the game.

But at this time, Sun Hao noticed that Kobe Bryant's shoes were a little strange.

After taking a closer look, I found that on the bevel of Kobe's shoes, the number "34" was written on the left and right.

The number 34 shouldn't have any other special meaning for Kobe, but isn't No. 34 O'Neal's number?
