And it was on this day that something very interesting happened, some netizens were looking for the child who was given shoes by Sun Hao on Facebook, and wanted to buy them at a high price.

On the night of 81 minutes, anything on Sun Hao's body will become a valuable and meaningful souvenir, and sneakers are naturally the top priority.

At this time, the network was much more developed than when Sun Hao first entered the NBA, and the identity of the child was quickly exposed.

Then people soon found out that this slightly migrant worker-looking child was Kevin Durant.

At this time, Durant was already well-known in the United States, and he transferred to National Christian College, and he also played his most brilliant performance in his senior year, averaging 26.2 points and 11.2 boards per game.

It turns out that Durant's mother's slaps were very effective, and with Sun Hao's positive stimulation, his performance was even better than the same period in history.

In the analysis of major media outlets such as ESPN and TNT, he is already the No. 1 high school forward in the United States.

Sun Hao gave him the sneakers, and the netizen finally gave up the acquisition.

Because Durant can foresee that he will play in the NBA in the future, this pair of sneakers will become another good story.

Of course, Sun Hao's 81 points have much more impact than that.

Sun Hao's new SUN4 series sneakers increased sales by 10% overnight.

Especially in Japan, most specialty stores are sold out overnight.

Don't underestimate the enthusiasm of the Chinese, their enthusiasm for buying Apple phones in history is so exaggerated, and the impact of the 81st minute night is definitely a reasonable thing.

And Adi's sense of smell is also sensitive enough, and after discussing with Sun Hao's team, it has been announced that a limited edition commemorative sneaker with "81 points" will be released at a later date.

After seeing this news, many sneaker industry insiders predicted that this would be the "most difficult to buy in the new century" sneakers.

Obviously, there are some things that have no price, and some things, on the contrary, have no price.

You may not believe it, but after Adi announced the news, Sun Hao received many messages from Gu Yi, all about some NBA players wanting to buy commemorative sneakers at a high price through him.

Many people know that Tucker is a well-known shoe king, and in fact, many players in the NBA have a habit of collecting sneakers.

All of this can be called the "81-point effect".

Most of these effects were predictable by Sun Hao, but what happened the next day was something he never expected.

On this day's training session, Sun Hao ended the training with the coaxing of his teammates "Mr. 81 Points" and other new nicknames, and he received a call from Gu Yi when he returned to the locker room.

He thought it was the same as the previous text message, but after connecting it, he found out that it was not, but Durant wanted to meet him.

For celebrities like Sun Hao, the phone calls will be given to a small number of people, and Durant also left Gu Yi's contact information.

Sun Hao was curious about what Durant was looking for him to do at this time.

You can't really ask him for bathwater, right?

He asked Gu Yi to make an appointment.

When the appointed time came, he and Durant met in the coffee house.

Durant's first words surprised him.

"I want to be in the draft next year."

Sun Hao thought he had heard it wrong.

Durant is now in his senior year of high school, and his participation in the draft next year means that he will run as a high school student?!

It's not like history!

Historically, Durant was drafted in the NBA draft after a year of college.

"Why?"

Sun Hao opened his mouth and asked Durant.

"I want to give my mom a good life sooner, I feel like I have a chance to play as a high school student like LeBron James, Dwight Howard, I want to play in the NBA early and be remembered by everyone like your 81 points."

Although Durant was sullen, he said all the reasons why he chose to run in advance in one breath.

And the reasons are very compelling.

Durant's mother has paid too much for him, and the NCAA is not like the NBA, because he can't accept endorsements, even if he is talented and plays well, he can't make his mother's life better in college.

The successful cases of James and Howard are also in the front, and perhaps because of Kobe, who Sun Hao barely mentioned, there are enough successful cases of top high school players.

and may be the reason why Durant is looking for Sun Hao now, the collateral impact of 81 points makes Durant's yearning for the NBA stronger than ever.

Sun Hao did not speak for the first time.

In fact, he didn't quite approve of Durant's early candidacy.

The reason is that Durant in history, even if he entered the NBA after his freshman year, it took two years to really adapt to the intensity of the NBA and realize his talent.

Participating in the draft a year in advance, not to mention whether the draft prospects will deteriorate, the time to adapt to the NBA will most likely become longer, and there is even a certain possibility that you will not be able to adapt to the NBA.

Don't think it's alarmist, there are many cases in history of those who failed to enter the NBA as high school students, just because of their failures, people didn't pay attention to and dig out how good their high school was.

"You may take more time to adapt to the league, or you may not even be able to adapt, will you still choose to get ahead?"

Sun Hao opened his mouth to confirm.

Durant nodded earnestly and firmly.

Sullen people tend to be indomitable when doing things.

Sun Hao didn't persuade Durant anymore, except for Yi Jianlian, he would only give some advice to others, and would not let others do what he wanted, and Yao Ming was the same before.

"I'll give you a plan, you announce your candidacy, and then look at the draft prospects, if the prospects are not good, you will withdraw from the election, and then run for a year in college, how about it?"

Sun Hao gave his own suggestion, which is also a relatively mature suggestion.

Duran nodded.

He didn't think of these things if he didn't participate in the draft, Sun Hao said a very reasonable suggestion.

After chatting with Durant, Sun Hao was also a little curious.

Historically, Durant was a good match with Oden in the draft, and was considered by many to be "the top pick even if he drafted Oden 10,000 times".

Now, if Durant does run early, the topic will disappear, but another more intriguing topic is what Durant will get in the 2006 draft.

The quality of the 2006 draft is mediocre, does Durant have a chance to be another high school pick?

If that's the case, it would be a lot of fun.

And the SuperSonics team has not been rotten this season, it is unlikely that they will go there again, and it is also very interesting to see where the "Grim Reaper" will go.

It should be mentioned here that in 2005, the NBA introduced measures to prohibit high school students from running in the election, but there are no regulations now.

I don't know if it's if the NBA cake is expanding much faster than in history, and Stern doesn't want to interrupt it.

On the third day after the night of 81 points, the Lakers were still offseason, but the topic of 81 points was still hot among fans.

And many people also look at another person, Kobe.

Unlike Sun Hao, Kobe Bryant has already been duplicitous once, and fans guessed that he would respond to him, even if he did not conduct a pre-game interview with him before.

And it's very interesting to say that the Mavericks' opponent is also the Bucks.

Don't be surprised, road trips are a common occurrence in the NBA.

In the end, the Mavericks narrowly defeated the Bucks 103-97.

Bryant scored 41 points on 15-of-35 shooting in the game.

It can be seen from the number of shots that Kobe Bryant does have the idea of soaring high scores.

But as Barkley said, one of the effects of Sun Hao's 81 points is that opponents will not let these people soar high scores.

What's more, the Bucks were scored 81 points by Sun Hao, and scenes of Kobe Bryant's bag in the game abounded.

Coupled with Kobe's style of play that doesn't like to pass the ball, it is reasonable that the efficiency value is low.

Of course, there is another point, this Mavericks team is completely different from the historical Lakers team after all, and that Lakers team has only Odom except Kobe.

But this Mavericks team, in addition to Kobe and Nowitzki, and Josh Howard, and Raga Bell, and even other role players, Van Exel, Harris, Daniels, these people are far better than that Lakers team.

Based on these circumstances, it is unrealistic for Kobe Bryant to score 81 points like in history.

Barkley's "81 points will only come once" statement is not a whim.

However, the fans' attention to Kobe Bryant is only incidental, and the fans really care about how many points Sun Hao will score in the next game.

The former head coach of the Warriors, who is also Sun Hao's former mentor, Nelson Sr., can say that "if you want to use King Kong to defend Sun, you will use all the ways you know to defend Sun".

In the anticipation of the fans, the next day the game between the Lakers and the Warriors was played at Oracle Arena.

The Warriors have played a different atmosphere from last season after the return of Nelson Sr. to coach, and the team's offense is obviously more organized, not the so-called chaos to win.

Byron Davis, the team's centerpiece, averaged 23 points per game, the highest of his career.

The "Golden State Gang" in history also qualified ahead of schedule after the old Nelson made an early comeback.

This game is also quite interesting.

And old Nelson, as Sun Hao's former mentor, knows Sun Hao's offensive skills very well, and used a very targeted defense at the beginning.

However, Sun Hao seems to have expected this, and changed the style of play that went all out at the beginning of the past few games to organize the team.

It's just that just like Barkley's complaints in the last game, after relying too much on Sun Hao, the rest of the Lakers seem to have forgotten how to attack.

Although the Lakers played well defensively, they still trailed the Warriors by as many as 10 points at 21-31 after the first quarter.

So in comparison, in the 2005~2006 season, except for Kobe, the Lakers team in the history was not as bad as imagined, but they didn't have the ball and slowly became unable to play.

Take Parker, the "Grim Reaper" who has been complained about the most, as an example, in the Lakers for 2 seasons, he averaged 11+3+3.5 per game, with a shooting rate of 44% and a three-point shooting rate of 36%, which is not to the point of "not being able to play in the NBA".

Take the most complained about interior players, Chris Meeme, Brian Cook, and Kwame Brown, each of them has a shooting percentage above 50%.

Data can sometimes deceive people, but not all data can deceive people.

When it came to the bench transition, the Lakers' offense had not improved, and there was no way, so Sun Hao had to turn on the scoring mode again.

It was at this time that old Nelson discovered something, the Sun Hao in front of him was much stronger than the Sun Hao he knew.

Not to mention the improvement of personal strength, the bonus of MVP aura, and the new weapon of back fighting, these are all unknown to the old Nelson.

As a result, although the old Nelson used all his defensive moves, for a coach who is not good at defense and a team that is not good at defense, it is still "impossible for a concubine" to prevent Sun Hao, who is stronger than Nelson Sr. remembers.

In the end, Sun Hao still scored 51 points to help the Lakers reverse the Warriors to win.

While Sun Hao helped the Lakers win three in a row, he also completed the feat of 40+ in 6 consecutive games!

At the press conference after the game, the elder Nelson shook his head with a wry smile in front of reporters.

"We sent King Kong, Superman, Batman, but we still couldn't stop him, we need more people."

Neal Sr.'s words made the reporters laugh.

But this also exposes the preferences of old Nelson, who is a DC fan.

If he is a Marvel fan, he should say that Sun Hao is Thanos.

However, counting Sun Hao's scores after O'Neal's absence, 45, 43, 40, 61, 82, 51, these 6 games of 40+ can only be described by Thanos.

"The most important thing I am watching in the NBA right now is how many points Sun can score."

A fan's comment on Facebook received countless likes.

This has become a big sight this season, and it is also a microcosm of the explosion of NBA scorers this season.

Sun Hao's personal influence, after this 81 points, reached a new peak.

In a sense, this 81 points are more useful than the championships he has won before.

One of the most direct evidence is that in the 2006 All-Star first round of voting at the end of December, Sun Hao not only became the vote king without any suspense, but he also got a record-breaking 1.2 million votes in the first round!

Sun Hao's 81 points have the meaning of "contract year explosion".

In 2006, the Lakers ushered in their first game of January against the Denver Nuggets.

The Nuggets have not changed much from the last two years.

But just like the Spurs, the consistency of the lineup has allowed them to get along with each other.

What's more important is James' performance, who has averaged 30.4 points, 7.7 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game in his third season, which is enough to enter the MVP discussion.

And they are also direct beneficiaries of the new ranking rules.

The Timberwolves, the Trail Blazers and Jazz in the same division as them are all rebuilding, and their only rivals, the SuperSonics, have inexplicably dropped significantly this season.

They are now firmly in the top spot in the Western Conference and third in the West under the new rules.

The head coach of the Nuggets is also George Carr.

Karl's defensive level is another fight with Nelson Sr., but the overall defensive quality of the Nuggets still has to throw off the Warriors.

And knowing that the rest of the Lakers team is not in good shape, the Nuggets are crazy about Sun Hao all over the court, which also greatly affects the Lakers' offense.

In the end, although Sun Hao still scored 43 points with his personal ability, the Lakers finally lost to the Nuggets 96-103, and the three-game winning streak was ended.

On the Nuggets' side, James recorded a big triple-double of 33 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.

After the game, James sat on the sidelines with emotion and red streaks under his eyes.

No one else may understand him, but only he knows the special meaning of this game.

Although it was only a regular season game, this was the first time he had beaten Sun Hao since entering the NBA.

However, the focus of fans' attention is not on this, because the news report of TNT after the game made Sun Hao the focus of heated discussions again:

"Sun Hao only scored 43 points, and the Lakers lost to the Nuggets".
