Sun Hao nodded, the ability to hit key shots had been cultivated when he was on the Mavericks.

Jackson's request can be said to involve his professional field.

After chatting about the triangle attack, Jackson then chatted with Sun Hao for a while...... Zen.

Don't be surprised, Zen originated in the East, and Buddhism is prevalent in China, so he thinks it's normal for Sun Hao to be interested in this.

Poor Sun Hao, he could only silently recite that famous quote in his heart.

Don't listen, don't listen, the monk recites the scriptures.

But even if Sun Hao is just perfunctory, he definitely knows a lot more about Zen than O'Neill and those Americans.

After Jackson finished talking, he felt that Sun Hao was also a Zen scholar.

Sun Hao is really, he can't say what he has in his heart.

When he finally came out of Jackson's office, Sun Hao's brain was still buzzing.

He felt that it would be better to be alone with Jackson less in the future.

……

Two days after the training camp opened, it felt like the players were almost adjusted to their bodies, and Jackson began to train for the triangle attack.

O'Neal, Malone, and Horry, who have played under Jackson before and have successfully integrated, can connect seamlessly.

Sun Hao also understands with a super high basketball IQ and integrates very well.

But for most of the rest of the team, this tactic was a bit confusing.

In fact, they are not to blame, in history, when Phil Jackson went to the Knicks to be the general manager, he wanted to transplant the triangle tactics to the past.

But until he left, the Knicks didn't figure out what the triangle offense was.

Even Rodman, the exploit of the Bulls dynasty, was asked about the triangle tactics with "Isn't that just giving the ball to Jordan to play alone?" Such words to answer.

So it will take some time for these new Lakers players to really fit into this tactic.

The good news is that they don't really need to fully understand this tactic, as long as everyone does their part and runs according to the tactic.

And in order to make the players understand more directly, Jackson also used Rodman's original sentence as an example.

"The triangle tactic is really to give the ball to Jordan to single, but it deals with how to get Jordan to play one-on-one, rather than being stuck in the bag and barely single."

This sentence actually says the core point of the triangle tactic.

Johnson's misplaced singles are to form a misalignment, to play strong and weak, to ensure a success rate.

The triangle attack is to create one-on-one singles opportunities and play indiscriminate singles.

The former requires enough singles points, while the latter requires a singles player to have strong individual attacking ability.

This is a tactic made for superstars.

Of course, this tactic also requires the superstar to have good passing ability.

Because even if you have a lot of space on your weak side, there is a possibility that the opponent will completely ignore the others to cover the superstar.

Jordan, O'Neal, and Kobe Bryant before the lemon tree grew up in his heart all had these requirements.

So it makes sense that the triangle offense can succeed with the Bulls and Lakers, but it can't be replicated with the Knicks.

While training camp was going on, Bass Jr. came several times.

When he saw Sun Hao blend in so quickly, his face was full of smiles.

Trading Sun Hao was his decision to cut first and then play, and Old Bass said before that he wanted to see Sun Hao's opening game, and he was also under a lot of pressure.

Now that Sun Hao has integrated so well, his pressure is naturally less.

"I wish the season had started sooner."

Little Bas smiled and said to Kupchak beside him.

"It's coming."

Kupchak smiled and nodded.

Half a month has passed quickly, and the new season is about to kick off in a blink of an eye.

But just before that, something big happened in the league.

The league has announced that the hand-check rule that has been in place will be lifted for the new season.

More precisely, the D-check rule should have been introduced.

The new rule states that if an outside player is above the free throw line, the defending player cannot use his hands or forearms to act on the body of the player holding the ball when he moves with the ball, otherwise it will be a foul.

The introduction of this rule is arguably expected, and last season's game between the Pistons and Lakers was extremely unwatchable.

In particular, the Pistons swept the Lakers to win the championship in the end.

This is actually a very bad direction.

If no changes are made, there will only be more and more teams like the Pistons.

Eventually, the NBA went from basketball to boxing.

Stern had an idea two years ago, and he also released some rumors to make the teams mentally prepared in advance.

But one stone stirs up a thousand waves.

After this rule really came out, the shock to the league and fans was still very big.

The one who wants to scold her mother the most is naturally the Pistons.

Lao Tzu just won a championship, so you're going to do this?

This is clearly aimed at me!

Including the Pacers, Spurs, Nets, Timberwolves, and other teams that are good at defense, they are also complaining.

Because the alliance announced the timing of the introduction of this rule too late!

It's hard for them to go higher in lineups.

Therefore, from Sun Hao's perspective at this time, it is not so strange to look back at the history that there was no scoring explosion in the 2004~2005 season, but it was only in the 2005~2006 season that the scoring broke out.

Of course, some people are happy and some are worried, and those teams that are good at attacking are happy.

Especially the Suns, who just got Nash, feel like they're about to rise.

O'Neill was also in a pretty good mood.

At the beginning, in order to prevent the Lakers from completing three consecutive championships, the league introduced a series of rules such as defensive three-second defense and joint defense.

That has no less impact on the game of basketball than the D-Check rule.

The anger he suffered at the beginning, now it is finally the turn of others to suffer!

You must know that he forcibly completed the Sanlian Dynasty against those rules at the beginning, and now these people can't do it, which means that he is the strongest.

And there is another point, Sun Hao is also a player who is strong in attack and weak in defense, and the D-Check rule will also be of great benefit to him.

It's good for Sun Hao, that is, it's good for the Lakers.

He's holding back a lot of energy right now to prove to everyone that the Lakers' failure last season was entirely because of Kobe.

Sun Hao, of course, is also very happy with this rule.

The biggest impact of the D-check is the breakout, and after not being able to fight, the chance of the defender being one-stepped is greatly increased.

Similarly, it is less difficult for a ball-handling shooter to create space to shoot.

Not to mention that Sun Hao is no longer the player who relied purely on shooting when he first entered the league, and his breakthrough and ability to combine sudden shots are also very strong.

His performances in the new season are likely to rise to another new level.

And the impact of this rule on ESPN is not small.

Ahead of the start of the new season, ESPN conducted a wave of strength analysis of each team for the new season, as in previous years.

In this list, the Lakers are at the top of the list!

Theoretically, the Lakers' lineup has changed a lot, and even if they have Sun Hao and O'Neal, they shouldn't be in this position.

But obviously, ESPN felt that the new rules would bring huge benefits to Sun Hao and the Lakers, so they put them first.

The Mavericks are not far behind, and the new rules will also be a big bonus for offensive supergiants like Kobe Bryant and Nowitzki.

ESPN didn't put them at the top of the list, in large part because the head coach was Johnson and not Nelson Sr.

Johnson's coaching style has been well known over the past season, with a standout defense and a slight one-off offense.

In third place is the defending champion Pistons.

Anthony has been very good at the Olympics and the new rules will be of great benefit to him.

In addition, the new rules have just come out, and some details are not very perfect, including referees and players, who still need to adapt to this rule.

The impact of this new rule on the Pistons may not have been as great as imagined at first.

The Wizards are fourth.

Maddie is also known for his burst shots, and he has been a two-time scoring champion before that, and this rule will make him even stronger.

With the addition of Yao Ming and Hamilton, the Wizards' strength in the new season will not be much worse than the previous three teams.

The Spurs finished fifth.

The new rules are hugely rewarding for breakaway players, and Ginobili is one of those who excelled at the Olympics.

In fact, Ginobili shined in the Finals this year in history, helping the Spurs to the top.

There are even fans who feel that he deserves FMVP more than Duncan.

These are directly related to D-Check.

The Heat are sixth.

Wade showed super-first-class breakthrough ability, and was even called "The Flash" by fans because of his super speed, which is the superhero in DC.

He will be the biggest beneficiary.

Coupled with Odom, Caron Butler and others, the Heat will be even stronger in the new season.

The Pacers finished seventh.

Carlisle's team is one of the most adaptable.

The supersonic [ ] team is in eighth place.

There are plenty of contenders for the position, but the SuperSonics are the most overlooked, and they have Ray Allen, a shooting guard who is extremely good at shooting.

The new rules may bring him to a new peak in his career.

……

A glance at this ranking shows that ESPN believes that the new rules will directly affect the landscape of the entire league.

However, the reaction of fans to this has been mixed.

Some people agreed, because only a small number of interior players are affected by the defense of three seconds and joint defense, but it will be the vast majority of players who will be affected by D-Check.

Others think that ESPN is making a big fuss, and even if the new rules have a big impact, it is impossible to say that they will be immediately visible in the new season.

Well, 2K also came over at this time to join in the excitement.

After they found Sun Hao's spokesperson last year, 2K's sales in China skyrocketed, which made them "really fragrant".

So after the new rules were introduced, they made a fine-tuning of the players' individual abilities.

And this time the fine-tuning made Sun Hao's ability value jump to 97, tied for the first place among all players with Duncan!

Although this is largely out of catering to the Chinese market, just like O'Neal's rating of 100 in history, this has been recorded in the history of 2K.

Maybe one day in the future, when fans are discussing the year when Sun Hao began to show his dominance, the 2K rating will be a big basis.

The introduction of the new rules has caused waves of heated discussions, and it is in this discussion that the NBA preseason game has taken the lead.

There are many new members on the Lakers' side, Phil Jackson is more groping for the lineup, and Sun Hao and O'Neal have limited playing time.

However, in the limited lineup, fans also found that the two were really ...... together It's so suitable!

Triangle attack, O'Neill and Sun Hao have two corners, and the third corner is a random shooter, and the offensive space is not good.

The moment O'Neal got the ball inside, he felt that all the unhappiness caused by his joint defense in the past two years had disappeared.

As for Sun Hao, with O'Neal on the inside, he can easily get one-on-one opportunities on the outside.

Even, he didn't use it very well.

They were really, made for each other.

After the preseason, the Lakers started strongly with a wave of seven consecutive wins.

The run-in transition or something doesn't seem to exist at all.

And after the preseason, Phil Jackson also figured out the starting lineup for the most suitable team.

Sun Hao and Finley on the outside, Horry and Howard on the front, and O'Neal on the center.

Kupchak could understand why O'Neill came in and said "My Pacific" when he brought Sun Hao to the Staples Center that day.

Because of this lineup, the sense of space on the field is really the Pacific Ocean!

After the preseason, the Lakers will also have their season opener.

Stern was still in place as always.

The Lakers' opponent in the opener game was the Wizards.

As soon as it came up, it was the Chinese derby plus Yao shark showdown.

This is to start the season and light a fire in the Chinese market.

And you have to take into account the existence of Maddie, the duel between him and Sun Hao three years ago between the White Horse Spear VS Changhong Guanri, fans still remember it vividly.

Now that the two top scorers have changed teams, the new round of matchups has opened a new chapter.

The Lakers are actively preparing.

Although the team performed well in the preseason, the preseason is only a training session after all, and only in the regular season can it really tell.

Especially if you play a strong opponent like the Wizards in the first game, you can test how much of this Lakers team is good.

The day before the season began, the Lakers were doing their final workout.

During training, Sun Hao noticed what Phil Jackson was writing in a notebook.

At first, he thought Jackson was taking some tactical notes like the other coaches.

But you don't have to do it so diligently in general notes.

After the training was over, he couldn't help but run to Jackson to take a look, only to realize that he was actually ...... Well, keep a diary.

Zen, diary, this Phil Jackson really ...... Larger than life.

"I love to write books."

However, Jackson's temper is also really good, and after seeing Sun Hao watching, he explained with a smile.

Sun Hao suddenly realized after listening to it.

It occurred to him that Jackson seemed to have a penchant for writing and selling books in history. And his autobiography sold very well.

He also remembered that Howard Easley was coming.

Jackson wrote a diary to collect materials for writing a book.

That guy is like to collect stories to tell stories.

Easley went to play in Utah last season, and I don't know how he's doing there.

"You can also write and record your life, and you know that your autobiography will sell well in the future."

Jackson said with a smile.

Sun Hao nodded after hearing this.

Unlike his previous Zen studies, he thought Jackson's suggestion was good.

PS: One more chapter today.
