I'm really good at shooting.

Chapter 662 The king is back!

"I don't know if I can win the championship in my life."

At the end, Yao Ming looked at Sun Hao and said.

After saying this sentence, he wanted to say something more, but he hesitated to speak, and finally only turned into a forced smile.

Sun Hao didn't ask further.

Yao Ming is no longer the youthful boy who just entered the league.

If Yao Ming really wants to do something, or if there is anything that needs to be discussed with him, he will naturally talk about it at that time.

At the end of the chat, the two talked about some happy things, and they also talked about celebrating the New Year together.

Speaking of which, they have all played in the NBA for so many years, but they haven't celebrated the Spring Festival together yet, so they have to celebrate one together this year anyway.

The next day, the game between the Lakers and the Wizards was played at the Verizon Center Arena, home of the Wizards.

The on-site attendance was full, and reporters gathered on the sidelines.

Although Yao Ming will miss this game due to injury, the Lakers have just suffered a five-game losing streak.

This can be regarded as a collision between two weak teams that are serious.

But these are actually not important, because tonight is Sun Hao's first show after returning to the Lakers!

That alone is more interesting than anything else.

As one of the bosses of the Wizards, Jordan naturally also appeared on the scene.

In addition to him, the president of the league, Stern, and many famous people and celebrities have arrived at the scene.

This game is no longer just a game.

And at least one-third of the arena are Lakers fans who came here to watch Sun Hao's debut, and more than half of them are still wearing Sun Hao's No. 95 jersey, which looks like half of the Lakers' home court.

This kind of scene has never been seen before or since.

Sun Hao also waved his hand when he saw it.

At this time, I have to mention a previous hidden task.

After the Warriors won the sixth championship of his career last season, Sun Hao completed a hidden mission that lasted for 6 years.

"God of Basketball": Won 6 NBA championships.

That is, after completing that task, he got a badge named [God of Basketball].

That's a badge of achievement.

The description of the badge is as follows: Increase the influence of every word on the NBA, improve the favor of fans, and increase more fanatical fans.

This doesn't seem to have much effect, after all, Sun Hao's current influence is already the first in history.

But in fact, Sun Hao still played a big role when he returned to Los Angeles this time.

Sun Hao's personality charm is one thing, but no matter how great the personality charm is, the existence of sunspots cannot be avoided.

So this time Sun Hao's return to Los Angeles will be so smooth, and it will cause such a big response, including the frenzied scene in front of him, partly because of the role of the badge.

After greeting the fans, Sun Hao then devoted himself to warming up.

Although in the days when he didn't play games, he also simulated games in the system.

For example, in the Wizards game tonight, he has already been in the system once.

However, the system is like a virtual space, which is somewhat different from reality.

When he was just warming up, his hands seemed a little cold in the first few shots.

But soon he got into the feeling and began to hit consecutive shots.

This also made the Lakers fans at the scene excited.

Although Sun Hao has the strength of two consecutive MVPs in the past two years, such performance is not surprising at all.

But before Sun Hao was a player of the Warriors after all, after becoming his own player again, the feeling is completely different.

After the warm-up was over, the scene entered the opening ceremony, and the starters on both sides also made their way out one after another.

Wizards side, Nelson, Matthews, Budinger, Boozer, Ian Mahinmi.

Yao Ming's current state of mind may be understood from the changes in the starting lineup.

Two years ago, the Wizards were still a Big Three lineup with Finals-level strength.

But now, the talent of this lineup feels like it fell into the Mariana Trench.

Among the superstars, only Yao Ming has a temper that can hold back his temper.

Although judging from last night's exchange, Yao Ming's disappointment can be seen.

For the Lakers, Knight, Sun Hao, Battier, Millsap, Hibbert.

Although on paper, the Lakers are not much better...

But Sun Hao is enough!

After the opening ceremony, the coaches of both sides were making the final tactical deployment.

Harris didn't say much, and his expression was a bit serious.

With a five-game losing streak at the start, Lakers fans are looking forward to Sun Hao's comeback, and the rest is to criticize the team's new head coach.

Many fans have expressed their hope that the management will fire Harris and bring Phil Jackson back.

Being a head coach at a wealthy club is full of exposure, but the pressure on him is also huge.

Although Harris has been in the NBA for many years, after all, he has never been a head coach before, so it is normal to have this kind of reaction.

Sun Hao noticed this, patted Harris on the shoulder before going on stage, and then gave him a reassuring look.

Harris squeezed out a smile when he saw it, and then nodded.

Sun Hao's comeback was his biggest reassurance.

The starters of both sides came on stage one after another. Before going on the field, Sun Hao smiled and pointed to Yao Ming who was sitting on the opposite bench.

He has experienced a lot during this period of time watching his teammates being beaten off the court.

It was Yao Ming's turn to experience this taste.

Of course, Yao Ming didn't know what Sun Hao was thinking. After all, what "bad thoughts" could a good partner of the national team have?

He smiled and stretched out his hand to respond to Sun Hao, this scene seemed a little cute.

After saying hello, Sun Hao then turned his head and focused his attention on the field.

Returning to the first game of the Lakers, coupled with the team's five-game losing streak, he must go all out to restore the confidence of the team and the Lakers fans.

In the sound of the referee's whistle on the sidelines, Hibbert turned the ball back to the Lakers half.

Knight held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, turned around and gave the ball to Sun Hao.

Knight's double quotient is still very high. In the first few games, he averaged 14+ points per game, showing a good scoring ability.

But as soon as Sun Hao came back, he sent the ball over at the beginning of the game.

And after passing the ball, when he ran away by himself, he also signaled the players on both sides to pull away.

This is another master who is familiar with many books such as "Emotional Intelligence" and "Position".

At this time, it was Matthews who defended Sun Hao.

As the head coach, Popovich and the others are full of peaches and plums in the league, and Sun Hao is the younger brother all over the league.

Matthews looked at Sun Hao with a guilty conscience, but he was not timid.

Guilt is because, as the younger brother in the past, he is very aware of Sun Hao's strength.

He is not timid because, after all, he has played together and played against Sun Hao last season. He still knows enough about Sun Hao, and the matchup effect is also good.

And in addition to skills and abilities in defense, there is another equally important thing to target.

In other words, Sun Hao didn't start out defensively. For someone like Matthews, watching game videos, catching opponents' offensive methods, habits, and even rhythm are all basic operations.

So Matthews' state at this time is very real.

Then, Sun Hao suddenly launched a breakthrough without warning.

Matthews followed for the first time.

But before he could stabilize his body, Sun Hao made an emergency stop and lowered the center of gravity, with a large range and low center of gravity.

This time Matthews obviously couldn't keep up, and when Sun Hao turned around, he picked up the speed for the second time, and didn't even give him a chance to foul.

Mahinmi on the inside saw it and turned around to help defend.

Van Gundy on the Wizards knew Sun Hao's passing ability, and yelled for the weak side players to go to the basket to help defend.

But to Van Gundy's surprise, Sun Hao did not choose to pass the ball!

He went up to meet Mahinmi, and made a layup with a low hand after dodging sideways.

This dodge has a strong sense of rhythm, and Mahinmi immediately lost his defensive direction.

"boom!"

The ball bounced off the backboard and fell into the net pocket.

Sun Hao helped the Lakers open the scoring with two players in a row!

The Lakers fans at the scene cheered excitedly.

Sun Hao showed a strong desire to score at the beginning of the game tonight!
And this choice is really exciting. After all, the Lakers are not talented enough now, Carter is injured again, and whoever scores if Sun Hao doesn't score!

For the Wizards' offense, Boozer played back from the low post.

Without Yao Ming, Boozer naturally became the core of the Wizards' offense.

Millsap is aggressive enough to defend, but his height is flawed. In addition, Boozer's wingspan is super long, and he likes to turn and fall back in his style of play.

This time he really couldn't reach it.

In history, Boozer and Deron were strong at the peak of the "New Utah Shuangsha" formed by the Jazz, and Boozer contributed a lot as one of the Shuangsha.

Knight continued to be a tool man, holding the ball to the frontcourt and giving it to Sun Hao.

The Wizards still use Matthews in single defense.

The Wizards renewed Matthews with a big contract last year, and the coaching staff still fully trusts Matthews' defensive ability.

Matthews also showed his defensive skills with this ball, following Sun Hao's breakthrough.

It can be seen from his eyes that he has a lot of defensive confidence.

But when he got to the basket, when he was about to confront Sun Hao's layup, his eyes suddenly changed from confidence to surprise.

Because Sun Hao directly pushed him out of the bottom line with a hard confrontation.

"Oh!"

After Sun Hao smashed away, he smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!
This time, the Verizon Center Arena was full of excited shouts from Lakers fans.

If Sun Hao showed his excellent skills in the previous ball, then this ball reflects Sun Hao's super personal confrontation ability!
When Matthews looked at Sun Hao again, there was already a little helplessness in his eyes.

Because he discovered one thing, Sun Hao's game tonight is completely different from what he defended last season.

Not a technical difference, but an aggressive one.

It's like, last season, Sun Hao played with his back.

His feeling is right!

The Warriors' young players developed last season, and most of the time they didn't need Sun Hao to exert their strength.

But tonight, when Sun Hao fully exerted his strength, the "defensive experience" accumulated by Matthews would naturally be useless.

In fact, Sun Hao dunked the ball, and the Lakers' bench was already boiling.

With a five-game losing streak at the beginning, the low morale of the Lakers is inevitable, and more importantly, there is no backbone. Even if Carter is not injured, he cannot afford that role.

But now Sun Hao's performance at the beginning brought back all their lost morale in one go!
With Sun Hao as the No.1 leader in history, no low point is counted as low point!
Boozer continued to play Millsap with the ball in singles, this time he turned around and walked to the basket.

Hibbert came over to help defend after seeing it.

Boozer stuffed the ball directly to Mahinmi on the other side.

As an insider with an average of 3+ abilities per game at his peak, Boozer's passing ability and passing awareness are both top-notch.

Hibbert is 2 meters tall, not much shorter than Yao Ming, but his movement speed and reaction speed are much slower than Yao Ming.

When he turned around the ball, Mahinmi had already dunked the ball with both hands.

This dunk also caused the Verizon Center Arena to boil.

Of course, it was the Wizards fans who cheered this time.

Two-thirds home team fans vs one-third visiting team fans.

It's NCAA March Madness tonight.

It's just that before the excitement of the Wizards fans on the scene is over, Sun Hao turned around and made a symbolic breakthrough to pull back a three-pointer and send the ball into the basket again!

4 is better than 7!

Sun Hao made 3 of 3 shots in the opening game and scored 7 points in a row!
Are the Lakers not talented enough?It doesn't matter!
Are the Lakers out of shape?does not matter!

As long as there is Sun Hao, it is enough!

At this time, the camera was shown to Yao Ming who came to the sidelines. Yao Ming pouted and shook his head.

Sun Hao felt the feeling of powerlessness he had experienced in the previous few games, and he felt it.

And that taste is the whole game.

Although the Lakers' defense is not good, the Wizards can barely see Boozer on the offensive end.

But on the defensive end, they have nothing to do with Sun Hao.

Here I have to talk about Boozer's technical characteristics again. Because Boozer is a heavy insider with slow lateral movement, he is a typical heavy offense and light defense.

This is also a key reason for the Wizards' poor record in the past two years.

Yao Ming wiped too many asses for his inside partner.

After Yao Ming was injured, the Wizards' interior defense problem was put under the magnifying glass.

Matthews couldn't stop Sun Hao's footsteps, and the inside players couldn't make up for it.

What the fans see on the field is basically that as long as Sun Hao gets the ball, he basically scores.

And when the Wizards started double-teaming, Sun Hao also started to use the pass to drive his teammates to score.

What change can a player bring to a team?
Sun Hao gave the best answer to this question tonight.

Then, the fans were pleasantly surprised to find that this group of Lakers players are actually very good!

Knight, who didn't shoot at first, turned out to be so good at cutting;

Battier, who had no sense of presence on the offensive end, shot three-pointers from the corner so accurately;

Crawford, who used to be all kinds of irons, turned out to be so flamboyant when he showed off his dribble!
Players, in fact, have their own advantages and disadvantages. Playing next to different people, the value that can be reflected is completely different.

Especially when that core player has a good sense of sharing the ball.

Referring to James Harden who has entered his peak period in history, the role players who play beside him can always bring out their strengths.

The peak Sun Hao is a level stronger than the peak Harden.

So it's perfectly normal for fans to feel that way.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Wizards 97-83 on the road, ushering in their first victory of the season.

Sun Hao handed over 42 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists in his first game back to the Lakers!

Of the total score of 97 points, 64 points are related to Sun Hao.

The former "King of Los Angeles" is back!
