Chapter 376 Unprecedented!(1/2)
“The management in Toronto is as stupid as the one in Orlando.”
On this day's training class, O'Neal turned to complain to Sun Hao after reading the news.
Don't use Sun Hao's eyes to see this transaction.
Although Carter's approach to forcing the palace to clear the lower limit also caused his personal data to plummet, his influence has not been reduced.
Kiddgar Carter's combination, if it were two years ago, it would be a perfect superstar combination.
Even now, it is not inferior.
What's more, they have a Jefferson who is at their peak, averaging 24+ games this season.
It is said that the Big Three has been a bit old, but the Trident is definitely qualified.
It's no wonder that O'Neal said that.
Originally, the Pacers fell due to the Auburn Palace incident, and the Lakers lost one potential opponent.
As a result, the Nets are now filling up again, and the league structure has not changed!
And as O'Neal said, sending the main star to the opponents in the same zone to strengthen the operation, which is similar to sending McGrady to the Wizards.
Well, the Magic Management is just shit in his eyes.
Of course, Sun Hao, the one who opens his eyes, knows that this Nets, which appeared like in history, is actually not that strong.
In history, they reached the Eastern Conference semifinals at most.
Now the strength of the Eastern Conference team is stronger than that of the same period in history, and their prospects are even less optimistic.
And just like Paul George broke his leg in history and went to the Clippers to pull Leonard's hind legs hard, the impact of injuries on players is often greatly underestimated and even ignored.
Carter was destined to never return to the "UFO" who scored 50+ with Iverson in the Eastern Conference semifinals to save NBA ratings.
"A little more internal friction will be good for us."
Moreover, Sun Hao's subsequent words mean that his thinking angle is different from O'Neal.
After hearing this, O'Neal was stunned for a moment, and smiled and gave Sun Hao a thumbs up.
Everything has two sides. From another perspective, the Lakers and the Nets are in different half-zones, and unless the Nets reach the finals, it will not pose a threat to the Lakers.
Once the Nets don't make it to the finals, in the East, it will be a lot of money for potential opponents such as the Wizards, Pistons, and Celtics.
"I heard you are still going to continue participating in the slam dunk contest this year. What moves are you going to use?"
Compared to the previous complaints, O'Neal's eyes were full of curious eyes when he turned his head, which shows that this is what he is concerned about.
This is not surprising. Although Sun Hao did not win the championship last year, his creativity was amazing.
For O'Neal, creativity is what he loves to see more.
"not yet."
Sun Hao shook his head. He had to adapt to the Lakers when he first arrived, but O'Neal was absent. The Lakers' record was so fluctuating, so he didn't have the heart to think about it.
Moreover, it is more than two months before the All-Stars starts, and he has enough time to prepare now.
"But I have an idea."
Sun Hao looked at O'Neal, and the idea came out like mushrooms after a rain.
"Um?"
O'Neal looked puzzled.
"How about I ride the dunk? If you succeed, it will definitely be a full-score dunk!"
Sun Hao said excitedly.
In NBA history, Nate Robinson once completed the feat of leaping "Warcraft" Howard.
That dunk also made Robinson eventually defeat Howard and become the dunk king of that year.
If he makes a leap of O'Neal, the visual effect will definitely explode!
"No, that's definitely not."
But O'Neal shook his head immediately.
If you play, don’t joke with riding!
He, O'Neal, would not allow others to ride on his head.
In fact, he has been detained only a handful of times so far in his career, and only two records have been recorded.
Once it was that man, Michael yes, it was me Jordan again.
Another time, he was the Nets' boss at the time and former No. 1 pick Derek Coleman.
After Coleman shook his finger excitedly, but then he was retaliated by O'Neal and beaten up once.
Including the most classic O'Neal's famous scene of breaking the rebound, which appeared against Coleman.
So, O'Neal cares very much about this kind of thing.
"Okay, then I can't win the dunk contest."
Sun Hao began to act coquettishly.
Last year's slam dunk contest proved that it was difficult to win the championship by just relying on creativity, and his slam dunks must look creative and difficult.
"No, no."
O'Neal still refused.
"I'll do it from behind."
Sun Hao hasn't given up yet.
O'Neal was stunned for a moment.
Sun Hao's words made him recall some things.
If you really want to talk about riding and depressing, it has never happened in the NBA, but it has actually been once off the court.
And the person who did it was Kobe.
It was the 2000-2001 season, and the OK combination that just won the championship was a sweet time.
During a training class, Kobe took advantage of O'Neal's inattention and depressed O'Neal from behind.
O'Neal had a good relationship with Kobe at the time, so he just gave Kobe a warning to him not do similar things in the future.
O'Neal still shook his head.
It’s not that Sun Hao’s relationship with him now is not as good as Kobe and him as before.
But this is a slam dunk contest after all, and that is under the gaze of the whole world, O'Neal can't let go of this face.
When Sun Hao saw O'Neal, he shook his head and knew that this creativity could only stay in his imagination.
"I can pass the ball to you."
O'Neal saw Sun Hao's slightly disappointed expression and suggested.
"Just like the free catch I passed to you when I played the Mavericks before."
O'Neal continued.
Don't say it, he still enjoys passing like that.
Sun Hao nodded, O'Neal passed the ball to himself in the dunk contest, which was actually quite good.
After all, O'Neal doesn't feel as good as Divac's passing, but in fact his passing is very good.
The two reached a consensus, and then what Sun Hao had to think about was what action to use in the slam dunk competition.
This is a question worth thinking about. If you know, O'Neal would not give him a header or a foot hook like Nash did last year.
...
Time flies, and it is mid-January in a blink of an eye.
Sun Hao and O'Neal practiced his dunk contest movements, and the Lakers gradually got in and out of the way.
Especially after the season deepened, Phil Jackson also found the most suitable rotation lineup for the Lakers.
As the point guard, Sun Hao is the core of the team. Among his substitutes, Span Norris won the final competition.
It turns out that the same player can play a completely different role under different coaches.
Spanoris is almost useless in history under Van Gundy, but he entered the NBA earlier and was able to play under Phil Jackson.
And he also competed with Sun Hao's former teammate Raul Lopez.
His offense and passes were greatly demonstrated in the game, and his representative game was to play Houston. He contributed the most 20 points and 6 assists on the bench.
Of course, his defense is as bad as it was in the Olympics.
So Jackson usually asks Finley to lead the substitute connection section, which can make up for his weakness to a certain extent.
At the shooting guard, Damon Jones "unexpectedly" defeated veterans Joan Barry and Steve Smith.
