Chapter 371: Auburn Hills Palace

Since ancient times, the same city has many deadly enemies, how can one mountain accommodate two tigers.
Football circles, Manchester United and Manchester City, AC Milan and Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid and so on.
The most famous basketball circle is the Lakers and Clippers.
The Lakers, as veteran giants, have been crushing the upstart Clippers.
The Clippers' record has not improved, and it is understandable to think carefully about other aspects.
After this article was published, it quickly caused a strong response.
Because this issue is too sensitive for the Lakers.
In the past few years, Kobe and O'Neal's infighting is comparable to palace fighting, leaving a huge shadow on the team and fans.
If it weren't for Buss to trade Sun Hao, the Lakers would probably enter the rebuilding period directly this season.
But for fans who like to eat melons and watch theaters, they are happy to see this kind of thing.
Even worse, before the next derby match with the Clippers, a reporter directly asked Sun Hao this question.
"Who do you think is the star of the Lakers, you and Shaq?"
This is obviously aimed at getting people out of mind.
If Sun Hao answers himself, then he will be the next Kobe.
To say that the answer is not himself, even if he answers "both of them", he will be regarded as very "soft" and not American.
"Shaq."
However, Sun Hao's answer was very straightforward, and the reporters were stunned.
"Shaq has brought three championships to the city. He is still the league's number one center. He is the star of this team."
Sun Hao was afraid that the reporter would not understand, so he explained it directly.
Not very American? He is not an American!
Moreover, he has a hundred reasons to say so.
First of all, O'Neal is 32 years old. According to the historical process, even if he is the boss of the team, he can only be one or two years at most. Isn't it natural for him to succeed in succession?
Secondly, O'Neal's character is the kind of eating soft but not hard. Sun Hao said that O'Neal would only appreciate him.
In fact, if Bryant gave in slightly before, O'Neal would not completely fall out with him.
Finally, let O'Neal be the boss in name, and then willingly give himself more shots. Isn't that good?
Don't say O'Neal won't, even Kobe is willing to let Sun Hao, who has a better relationship with him, refuse to let it?
There are many more. This question may be a tangled question for the fans, but in Sun Hao, the answer is already there.
However, after Sun Hao's answer was reported by the media, it still attracted considerable controversy.
Many fans think that Sun Hao is still that smart player, knowing what is most important.
Many fans also feel that Sun Hao is too weak in this matter.
Even the latter's voice is more.
After all, this is the United States, a place where heroism prevails. This kind of humility is not necessarily seen as much.
However, what happened later made these "American" fans choose to shut up.
Because O'Neill made a voice.
"Sun is different from Kobe's kid. He knows how to play. He was born to win just like me. Apart from Michael, he is the second player I am willing to assist."
Although this is not straightforward, the meaning is clear: Sun Hao is the boss of the Lakers!
Well, O'Neal didn't forget Kobe Kobe.
At this time, the fans are no longer black.
Because Sun Hao said O'Neal is the boss, and O'Neal said Sun Hao is the boss, does it matter who is the boss?
Jim Buss didn't know how many times he gave a presumptuous smile.
There is no harm without comparison!
Compared to the scene where Kobe and O'Neal competed for the boss during the OK combination, the harmonious scene between Sun Hao and O'Neal, the contrast is too great!
Possibly, he would wake up laughing while dreaming.
Moreover, good things come in pairs.
Just after Sun Hao and O'Neal perfectly resolved this possible contradiction, O'Neal's recovery from injury was better than expected.
Not surprisingly, he will come back one week before Christmas, and then he will be able to catch up with the Christmas War.
There are four games in this year's Christmas game: Pacers vs. Pistons, Wizards vs. Timberwolves, Spurs vs. Celtics, and Lakers vs. Lone Rangers.
That's right, Stern arranged the second match between Sun Hao and Kobe in the Christmas battle.
Once it was Thanksgiving and the other was Christmas. Stern has never been unambiguous when it comes to creating hot spots.
And even though it was only a month later, too much happened.
Sun Hao broke the single-quarter scoring record, and then scored 60 points. Kobe also scored 58 points to brush a career high in a hot state.
Coupled with O'Neal's return from injury.
The Christmas War will attract more attention than the Thanksgiving Day!
That will definitely be the most watched game since the start of the season.
From then on, there is still one week left.
O'Neal, has already begun recovery training on the sidelines.
However, he looked fatter again than before.
This is also impossible. According to the eating method he and Sun Hao said before, he can't exercise after being injured, and it's not scientific to be fat.
Looking at O'Neal's tank-like body, Sun Hao is really worried about O'Neal's injury in the playoffs.
Everything has two sides.
Riley tortured O'Neal and made O'Neal's thumb injury worse.
But Riley's original intention is probably to let O'Neal lose weight.
Who can guarantee that if O'Neal does not train like the devil, continue to torture and gain weight, his career will be longer than in history?
Sun Hao, a little worried.
Although he was in good condition in the previous period, he broke various records.
But when it comes to the playoffs, O'Neal will be abandoned, and let him lead the Lakers to win the championship, which is a bit of a fantasy for him.
Winning this kind of thing should not only depend on your own performance, but also on your opponents.
Let’s not talk about the others. Without O’Neal, would Duncan call the Lakers insider his father, no, grandpa.
Therefore, reducing O'Neal's injury risk, or in other words, letting O'Neal lose weight, is what he must do.
It just so happened that he actually had a plan before.
The Lakers played against the Bulls, the Chinese Derby.
The Bulls' state this season is obviously not as good as last season, and now ranks last in the Eastern Conference.
Chandler was reimbursed for the season due to an injury. Although Yi Jianlian's performance has improved compared to last season, the state of the star, Francis, has declined severely.
At the same time, he also broke out the news that he had an affair with the souvenir.
The Bulls only had a good season, and then they were in a precarious position.
There is not much suspense in the game.
Sun Hao scored 30 points and 8 assists in three quarters, clocking out of get off work.
Yi Jianlian also scored 15 points and 7 rebounds in only three quarters.
The data is not bad, but his mood is completely different from Sun Hao's ease.
After the game, Sun Hao and Yi Jianlian gave a hug in the midfield.
"You will get better soon, don't forget, you are now an Olympic champion."
Sun Hao knew that Yi Jianlian's personality had changed, but he was still more sensitive.
His comfort is also very useful.
Although the two played in different cities, he was still the one who was excited by Sun Hao's opportunity to come to see him.
After the game, the Lakers returned to the locker room to rest.
This also includes O'Neal. Although he has already started recovery training, there will be a transition period for people his weight.
According to the current progress, it is estimated that he will be able to play in the Christmas battle.
"Guys, can I sit on the bench and watch you win the championship?"
O'Neill asked with a laugh when he came in.
"That won't work, Shaq, then Mr. Jim may lay off you next season and we will lose you."
Of course, Damon Jones is more amusing.
There was sudden laughter in the locker room.
O'Neal smiled and gave Jones a "punch", but he seemed to be reluctant to hit the pistachio of the team, just a light touch.
"Guys, to celebrate the victory, today I invite everyone to eat some fruit."
Sun Hao opened the closet while talking.
Suddenly, a burst of "fresh fragrance" immediately filled the entire locker room.
"What kind of is this!"
Jones, who had never eaten durian in his life, felt that he smelled of shit.
Horry just slipped out of the locker room over there.
But most people still sit calmly.
Durian is a fruit produced in Southeast Asia, but it is actually very popular in the United States.
Not everyone has eaten it, but most people still know it.
"I left beforehand."
O'Neill's expression was similar to Jones, but he quickly slipped away like Horry.
He felt that he could save his dinner and bedtime steak tonight.
Looking at O'Neill leaving, Sun Hao was also a little sorry.
But in order to make O'Neill lose weight, he has no choice but to resort to this.
Sun Hao thought so.
It's just that what happened the next day gave him a feeling of being completely defeated.
Because on the way to the training class, he met O'Neill in the garage.
This guy O'Neill is gnawing on a large double-decker beef burger!
Sun Hao asked in the past.
Okay, this guy lost his appetite by Sun Hao’s durian last night, so he had to make up for the steak that he didn’t eat yesterday before going to bed this morning...
Sun Hao closed himself.
He suddenly admired Pat Riley.
Although the method was a bit extreme, Riley really let O'Neal keep his weight in the end.
In fact, in O'Neill's autobiography "The Unedited Shaq", O'Neal mentioned his "fear" of Riley:
"One night, I found someone outside the window, who seemed to be dressed in black. That was Coach Riley. He stole a police car and broke into my mansion, found my room, knocked on my window, just to make me Can get up and train."
Sun Hao obviously couldn't do this.
Because Riley was the president and head coach of the Heat at the time, and he was the top of the team.
But no matter how good his relationship with O'Neal is, he is only a teammate after all.
It seems that making O'Neill lose weight can only be considered in the long term.
Time flies, and Christmas comes in a blink of an eye.
The fans' long-awaited Christmas battle finally kicked off.
The first to start was the Pacers and Pistons in the East.
The American opener of this Christmas War has also attracted much attention.
The encounter between the two teams last season sparked a lot of sparks. In this kind of high-profile game, they are bound to play more intensely.
This is the part that fans look forward to.
But the facts are more exaggerated than they thought.
Because during the game, the worst fight in NBA history occurred.
The Battle of Auburn Hills Palace!
45.9 seconds before the end, the away Pacers led the Pistons by 15 points. There was not much suspense in the game.
But the two defensive teams were very tempered by this time.
Artest's foul action on Big Ben was relatively large, and he was chased by Big Ben for a while, which almost caused a large-scale conflict between the players of both sides.
Fortunately, Anthony stepped forward at a critical moment and pulled Big Ben back to the bench.
Artest was also persuaded to go back and lay on the referee's bench to rest.
Everything seems to have been resolved, as long as the game is over, this matter will pass.
But at this moment, an audience in the front row directly threw the paper cup with beer at Artest.
Artest was furious, and was immediately angered. He jumped into the auditorium and started beating the fan (he was later proved to be the wrong person), and other Pacers players followed.
For a time, the match scene became the scene of a fight between players and fans.
Soon security guards entered the stadium to maintain the almost out of control scene, and Artest was forcibly taken back to the bench.
However, this is not the end!
Two more Pistons fans rushed to Artest to provoke him, and Artest was angered again.
There was another fight that was almost out of control.
Artest is like a ring, Round1 ends and Round2.
Then, Round3...
When the game was forced to end early~EbookFREE.me~ the Pacers players were about to return to the locker room, the Pistons fans near the passage started throwing drinks, popcorn, and even the bench at them!
After O'Neal was hit by the bench, Artest started Round3.
Although the conflict was finally calmed down, the scene was chaotic.
Before the game with the Mavericks, the Lakers were relaxing.
Sun Hao and O'Neal watched the game live in the team lounge.
The two ate the popcorn brought by O'Neal, but they didn't expect to see such a game, and they were surprised that the popcorn in their mouths dropped.
Sun Hao was really unexpected.
The 2004~2005 season has been a wonderful season in history.
McGrady's 35 seconds and 13 minutes, Auburn Hills Palace, these are the most important events of the season.
35 seconds and 13 minutes and the same time point in history appeared. As for Auburn Hills, history happened in November.
He didn't show up in December, and he thought it was his appearance that changed history.
After all, the Pistons now have more Anthony and less Hamilton, and the lineups are different.
But unexpectedly, it still came, and it was in the Christmas battle.
This is more violent than in history!
Actually, it’s right to think about it, Hamilton has become a social melon, um...
It can be predicted that Stern's anger tomorrow will be greater than in history.
Of course, those are tomorrow's things.
As long as they ate popcorn, fans who ate melons looked excited.
Even this thing is like ordering an atomic bomb in advance to celebrate, making fans look forward to the next Lake Man war.
After all, it's Christmas, Auburn Hills Palace and Lakers War.
This day will definitely leave a thick fortune in history.
