Chapter 420: Heads up 5 years late!

, The fastest update, I’m so accurate in shooting the latest chapter!
This call is very real.
Some people may say that Payton, as the only defender in history who won the "Best Defensive Player", with the existence of Ligang Jordan, how can you do such a thing as a thigh hug? !
Payton: Barkley and Malone did it first!
And Payton is 37 years old, his arrogance has been crushed by himself when he went to the Lakers before.
He wants a championship right now and retreats like Barkley and Malone.
As for why you chose the Lakers again, is it wrong to choose the defending champion?
What's more, Barkley and Malone hold the thigh in common. The team has Sun Hao's thigh!
This choice is really reasonable and unexpected.
But Kupchak's answer is also true: we need to try you out.
Although it's been a season since the last time he played for the Lakers, Payton was left and out last season and his performance was average.
The Lakers have just defended their title, coupled with Payton's character, Kupchak's reaction is reasonable.
Payton agreed without hesitation.
The Lean Camel is bigger than Marathon, and his current strength is absolutely no problem to go to other teams to get a veteran basic salary.
Even if he is willing to go to a weak team to act as a mentor to help train young players, maybe he can get a middle class exception.
But he doesn't care about that little money. With a career salary of nearly 100 million yuan, he only wants a championship now, even if the Lakers ask him for a trial.
Payton's determination satisfied Kupchak.
Spanoulis performed well, but defensive issues prevented him from getting much playing time in the playoffs.
In fact, after reaching the Western Conference semifinals, Sun Hao, Finley and Christie were basically rotated on the Lakers guard line.
Christie is one year older next season, and his performance against Anthony in the Finals is relatively average. If Payton is really in good shape, it will be a real reinforcement for the Lakers.
Kupchak is destined not to be idle this summer.
Payton was just a representative. He successively received many calls from veterans or their agents in the following days.
And like Payton, those who haven't won a championship yet.
The veteran wants to hug the thigh.
He couldn't help shaking his head after receiving it.
Because during the chat, the names of Barkley and Malone were constantly mentioned.
Not to mention the others, Sun Hao's label of "Champion Dream Realizer" might not escape.
Of course, people with complicated moods are not just Payton, or people like Payton.
Those opponents who were defeated by the Lakers also started the summer.
After talking with Sun Hao, James paid a lot of money to hire Sun Hao's trainer, Cannon Baker, to conduct special training for himself.
Unlike in history, Baker guided James to start shooting training in advance.
Although James' size makes it difficult for him to practice shooting in the same summer as Kobe, the improvement is predictable.
By next season, James' performance will definitely be more comprehensive than last season.
In addition to training alone under the guidance of Baker, James also held a training camp. The members of the training camp included Anthony, Wade, Bosh, and Paul.
These people of the 03 generation have known each other before and have a good relationship, but they have one thing in common this past season is frustration.
So from some perspectives, they are the 03 generation, but also the frustrated generation, or it can be called the Frustrated Alliance.
As for Paul, Duncan has to be involved.
Duncan was Paul's senior, and the two had an early connection.
Duncan also admired James, so when Paul asked him if he could train together in the summer, he happened to hear that James was going to open a training camp and introduced Paul to him.
Don't tell me, Paul got along very happily with James when he arrived at the training camp. After training, he helped a few big brothers carry bags, and he has already begun to adapt to the NBA life in advance.
But when it comes to frustration, the biggest frustration this summer is obviously... Kobe.
At the time Bass told him that he would go to Dallas and Nowitzki to win the championship, which proved that the failure of the Lakers F4 was not his reason.
It turned out that...Little Buss dug a big hole for him, and then let him jump in.
Of course, Kobe is not the kind of person who loses and complains about others and the environment. He has developed a more rigorous training plan for himself at the moment of elimination.
And he also chose a location very suitable for high-intensity training for his plan: Hawaii.
Hawaii is located at a tropical latitude, and theoretically it will be very hot, but due to the influence of the northeast dry trade winds brought by subtropical pressure, the highest temperature in summer generally does not exceed 31 degrees Celsius.
Coupled with the humid sea breeze and the characteristics of little rain in summer, this location is completely fine.
...
After the championship parade ended, Sun Hao and Scarlett boarded the plane to Hawaii.
They bought a private villa in Honolulu.
The advantage of this villa is that there is a basketball court next door, which allows Sun Hao to play basketball when he is free.
In a sense, this is the perfect balance between work and life.
Honolulu is the capital of the state of Hawaii. The entire city relies on the valley. In the later period of urban development, a large number of high-rise buildings were built on the riverside plain, which also became the main part of Honolulu.
However, the apartment Sun Hao and the others rented is not on the plain, but on the mountainside, which is also the reason for the high price.
When you walk out from the door, you can see the Pacific Ocean along the sea and sky. The beautiful scenery can only be seen with money.
Sun Hao had another feeling when he arrived in Honolulu.
If you were a good student of history as a student, you should be familiar with Honolulu.
Because sandalwood was abundant in the early years, this place also has a name called Honolulu.
Hearing about Honolulu, many people's memories of history classes came. The "Xingzhonghui" established by Sun Yat-sen was established and developed here.
Because of this, Honolulu has a large proportion of Chinese, making it the second largest Asian population in the area.
After arriving at the villa, putting down his luggage, Sun Hao began to take Scarlett around.
The scenery of this island city in the sea is much more beautiful than that of the coast.
See the sunken ship at the Arizona Memorial, the only surviving palace in the United States at the Iraoni Palace, the fitness competition on the riverside plain, and the entire island city by helicopter...
They spent three full days in Honolulu before they could complete the main attractions here.
And it's not the end after visiting Honolulu, they have to go to other islands to play.
For example, Mauna Kea extinct volcano, which has an elevation of more than 4,200 meters above sea level, is the highest point in Hawaii.
But even in summer, the temperature there is not high, and they are going to spend the night there, so some preparation is needed.
They didn't arrange itinerary during the day.
Of course, Sun Hao couldn't take time off. He took the ball and went to play in the next court.
Honolulu's basketball atmosphere is definitely incomparable with Los Angeles, but when Sun Hao appeared on the court, the basketball atmosphere was still boiling.
No way, the championship and Xinke FMVP, coupled with Sun Hao's own popularity, not to mention the stadium, a stop on the street will be blocked.
He was not blocked before because he had been wearing sunglasses and a hood, but he couldn't wear these two things.
It took a long time for Sun Hao to actually hit the ball. Every time he scored, the players off the court screamed and cheered.
Maybe Sun Hao has been playing professional games in the past few years. Sun Hao hasn't felt this kind of wild court atmosphere for a long time.
This also made him a little excited. The next few attacks directly played dunks and empty picks, and the players below were completely overwhelmed.
By the way, he also attracted some people from outside the stadium.
Sun Hao had a cool shot, and when he finished playing, he wanted to leave. Those people reluctant to give up, only hating going out to play without a pen and camera.
Back at the villa, Sun Hao took a bath and slept for a while. After getting up, he packed up and was ready to go to sea with Scarlett.
But just as he was leaving, his villa phone rang suddenly, and he picked it up curiously.
The opposite claimed to be a lieutenant colonel named Moses.
Sun Hao thought it was a liar at first, but after the other party gave him a series of verification information, he was sure that it was true.
He has been in the United States for so many years, and he still has some understanding of American military ranks.
The highest rank of the navy that would normally be outside is basically a colonel, usually the captain of an aircraft carrier.
The lieutenant colonel is generally the deputy captain of the aircraft carrier or the captain of the cruiser.
No wonder Sun Hao doubted at first.
In addition to being a tourist attraction, Honolulu is also an important military base because of its unique geographical location.
Like the Arizona Memorial he and Scarlett went to before, it was actually built on the basis of the USS Arizona that was bombed in the "Pearl Harbor" incident.
It is common for U.S. naval ships and even aircraft carriers to supply them.
And this lieutenant colonel named Moses is the deputy captain of the Carl Vinson aircraft carrier.
Asked why the deputy captain of the aircraft carrier would stay on the island alone, which is one reason why he would call Sun Hao.
It turned out that Kobe had been training in Honolulu during the offseason, and the military kindly invited Kobe to play an exhibition game for the American soldiers after knowing it.
The training was very boring, and in order to express sincerity, the deputy captain was left behind, and Kobe finally agreed.
The time and place were determined before, two days later on the Carl Vinson aircraft carrier.
Because it was an internal exhibition match, only a few people knew the news.
Then Sun Hao suddenly appeared in Honolulu and attracted commotion and attention.
There were a lot of naval soldiers around, and Moses knew it soon after returning.
It was originally Kobe's performance. If Sun Hao were added, it would be very interesting.
"It won't take up too much time. I can let you visit the aircraft carrier for free. If you have other needs, you can just mention it. I will try my best to satisfy it."
Sun Hao didn't want to go, he is different from Kobe, he is not an American, and he is not obliged to play for the American soldiers.
But Moses' attitude was very sincere, and Kobe was in Honolulu that he had never expected.
He is still thinking about the hidden mission five years ago!
Especially in the finals against Prince, he found that he turned around and broke through skills without back-playing technical cohesion. He had more ideas about this hidden task.
In addition, he completely broke Kobe's defense in the Western Conference Finals, which made him more confident in completing the task.
In other words, at the end of the season, he was actually thinking about when to find a chance to go head-to-head with Kobe.
It's a pity that Kobe couldn't get in touch at all. He didn't expect to run a secret training in Hawaii.
There is a saying: When you can't ask for it, it might just be delivered by itself!
"I have to ask my fiancee for advice."
However, Sun Hao did not immediately agree. He came to Hawaii to play with Scarlett, and Scarlett's opinion was the most important.
After some exchanges, Sun Hao made a request to Moses.
"Can I bring my fiancee with me?"
"of course can."
Moses readily agreed.
This is a deal.
After Sun Hao hung up the phone, he was in a good mood.
Unexpectedly, this trip to Hawaii will have such a surprise.
Of course, what happens in two days will not affect their current arrangements.
The two reached the extinct volcano in Mauna Kea by boat. After the car took them to the end of the road, they put on their coats and climbed for a while.
Don't even think about climbing up to the top of the mountain. The endless surrounding is the sea, which is an experience that only small islands have.
With a mountain of more than 4,000 meters above sea level, with such a high level of humidity, all you can see are thick clouds and several peaks in the middle of the clouds that rise like bamboo shoots.
The extinct volcano of Mauna Kea is a holy place for Hawaiians, but this holy place is different from the kind of temples you see here. The most prominent building on the top of this mountain is an international astronomy center.
This is why they chose to leave here later, because at night, they can observe the stars through the astronomical telescope.
They also rushed towards this.
But when it was about to sunset, they discovered that perhaps compared to the stars in the Uranus telescope, the scene before them was their biggest gain.
The sun began to set westward, but it was different from what it usually saw, because it was the thick clouds that it first began to fall.
The clouds are like a virtual horizon. The sun falls on the clouds, but in fact it is still on the horizon.
The afterglow that light passes through the clouds, the romance and beauty that cannot be described.
Sun Hao could feel Scarlett holding her hand tightly, a happy smile on her face.
This "accident" may be the most meaningful thing they have travelled these days.
Especially when they appeared on the trip after their engagement, it made people look forward to the future.
At night, they can see the sky full of stars.
The starlight on the sea and in the desert is always the most beautiful.
Of course, it is also an interesting experience to see the stars in the astronomical telescope up close.
Scarlett on this day looked much happier than in the past few days.
They returned to Honolulu in the afternoon of the next day. At this time, Sun Hao saw the Carl Vinson at the port.
The huge hull made him stare.
The visual impact of this behemoth seen on TV and seen in front of the eyes is completely two concepts.
Suddenly, Sun Hao felt that to be able to visit such a thing, to play a ball is actually nothing.
The next day, a military jeep came to the door to pick them up on the aircraft carrier.
Although it was an exhibition match, the audience had no chance to watch it except the soldiers, so the people on the island didn't have any other expressions except envious of the soldiers.
On the aircraft carrier, Sun Hao's first glance was still shocking.
It was the first time he saw this kind of thing in his previous life and this life, the huge deck, and the cannons that lined it around.
Although it is not a military fan, but in such a place, the adrenaline in the body will still be secreted uncontrollably.
Well, he isn't the only one who looks around, but also... Kobe is not far away.
Kobe saw him first, smiled and greeted him.
Although the two were fighting on the court, including last season, the Lakers also eliminated the Mavericks into the Finals, but this does not affect their off-court relationship.
"I didn't expect you to come to Hawaii."
"That's what I want to say."
The first sentence of the two people met was very tacit, and then they couldn't help laughing.
To a certain extent, they have a clear heart, and they agree.
"Wait for a single match?"
Kobe's next words made Sun Hao stunned.
"You won't refuse?"
Kobe saw Sun Hao's reaction, and then asked.
"You may not believe it, but I have the same idea."
He was stunned just now because he didn't expect Kobe to take the initiative to mention this. Originally, he was still thinking about how to talk to Kobe about heads-up.
After all, in front of so many soldiers, Kobe might not accept it.
Now it seems that he even saved this.
And it's not surprising to think about it, Kobe was beaten violently by Sun Hao during the Western Conference Finals.
He shielded all interference from the outside world and worked hard in Honolulu for nearly a month. He didn't even watch the finals, but just wanted to make himself stronger.
Now that Sun Hao appeared before his eyes, he certainly wouldn't want to miss such an opportunity.
And he can just check the results of his hard training this month.
After a while, Moses came out, a middle-aged officer, looking quite young.
As a deputy captain at this age, there is real material in his stomach.
The stadium was ready, but the crew was not yet in place. Moses fulfilled his previous agreement and took the three of them to visit the aircraft carrier first.
Of course, what they can see is also something that they can see.
But even these are enough for the three of them to be full of curiosity.
Sun Hao and Kobe focused on the whole process, this kind of experience may be only once in their lifetime.
When they came out of it, the two people continued to communicate.
And you may not believe it. After the two came out, they had the same idea. They both wanted to buy a super large cruise ship.
That must be very interesting.
Sun Hao thinks this direction is good, as long as he doesn't engage in helicopters, everything is good for Kobe.
They simply ate something and took a rest. After a busy day, the crew began to appear in the auditorium built on the deck.
When they went out, the seats of hundreds of people were already full, and they were greeted with cheers from the sky.
Although there are not many people, the soldiers have a loud voice and the atmosphere is not weak at all, which is very similar to the original Drew League.
There were also hosts on the scene, and they started to introduce them.
"Three-time championship, seven-time All-Star, 1998 All-Star Game MVP, three-time best team, five-time defensive team... Kobe Bryant!"
"Two-time championship winner, five-time All-Star, three-time All-Star MVP, two-time Finals MVP, 2005 regular season MVP, two-time MVP...Sun Hao!"
It may not have felt much before, but after listing the honors of Kobe and Sun Hao, you will find that Sun Hao has unknowingly surrounded Kobe with honor!
Although it is not comprehensive, it is only a matter of time.
The Lakers' championship made many people take Sun Hao's status as "Jordan's No. 1 successor."
This time, not only popularity, but also strength and honor have already had strong evidence.
Kobe seemed to be aware of it. He habitually touched his nose, his eyes showed uncontrollable warfare.
Some people may think that last season's defeat would have caused him a devastating blow.
If you really feel that way, you would be wrong!
For Kobe, the failure is only the motivation to work harder and he will never give up before he succeeds!
The exhibition game started quickly, but it was not one-on-one at first, but three-on-three.
The four soldiers who played best on the aircraft carrier became teammates with them.
In this link, Kobe fully demonstrated the results of his hard training in the past month.
His shooting is significantly more stable than before.
That's not only because of the change of the defender, it's really becoming a lot more stable.
This surprised Sun Hao.
You should know that at this stage, apart from passing, the only weakness of Kobe is probably scoring stability.
But only a month later, he has such a big improvement, it is amazing.
But if Sun Hao understood Kobe's training plan, he wouldn't be surprised.
After communicating with Baker, Kobe developed a training method that the word "devil" is not enough to describe, also known as the 666 training method.
Training 6 days a week, 6 hours a day, 6 stages each time.
This sounds nothing at first, but in a training session, he just made 3000 jumpers, plus 300 scratch jumpers and 100 free throws.
This data may sound unconceptual. Take Jordan as an example. Jordan's training at his peak was very famous. The 2000 CIC per day is already the league benchmark.
But compared with Kobe, this is still a lot inferior.
And shooting is only part of Kobe's training, in addition to fixed barbell curls and bench press, 2 times 800 meters, 5 times 400 meters and so on.
These 6 hours of training are completely torture for ordinary people, but Kobe has been doing that every day for the past month.
So Kobe's stability improvement is entirely reasonable.
And Kobe's non-passing point is actually not that important in the three-on-three. In the final first game, Kobe's team defeated Sun Hao's team 21-18.
After winning, Kobe was slightly excited, and made a signature gesture of reaching out and making a fist at the soldiers on the sidelines, which caused the soldiers on the sidelines to cheer.
Although the fighting spirit has not been affected, he can still feel Kobe sighing in his heart after losing the Western Conference Finals.
Sun Hao didn’t care too much, the outcome of the exhibition match is not that important
And in the next two games of three to three, Sun Hao won all the shamelessly, and won 2-1 by a big score.
After the three rounds, the exhibition match was almost played, but at this time, Kobe and the host had a chat over there.
The host soon announced that there was an unexpected surprise in the exhibition game. This surprise was Sun Hao and Kobe's one-on-one!
This ignited the soldiers' emotions.
Compared to the previous performance game, the heads-up between two NBA superstars is obviously more worth looking forward to!
Because he had said hello in advance, Sun Hao was not surprised. He turned his head and had a small eye contact with Scarlett who was sitting on the sidelines, and then went on the court.
When he stood opposite Kobe, Sun Hao's eyes and state were obviously different from before.
If there was some entertainment before, then now he feels like he wants to show 100% strength!
The unfinished heads-up one year ago is not counted. The heads-up between him and Kobe was late for five years!
Even with that hidden mission, it was thrown there for five years, now it's time to pick it up!
Kobe was also a little surprised by Sun Hao's change, especially as Sun Hao had performed before the heads-up, which was somewhat different from Sun Hao in his impression.
But this also made him more excited.
He was meant to test the results of his training, and Sun Hao took it right.
Ever since, Kobe also put his focus, his eyes ignited fighting spirit.
The two of them are going to be real!
There was a burst of cheers from the sidelines.
Although the soldiers didn't know what they were thinking about, just looking at the state of the two on the field was enough to make them excited.
The two MVP-level players really play, you can't see it if you don't go to the NBA stadium!
No, to be precise, you may not be able to see it in the NBA game!
Heads-up starts.
Kobe comes up first.
If Kobe's non-passing has little effect in three-on-three, then it has no effect in one-on-one.
Kobe beat Sun Hao as soon as he came up.
Sun Hao also confronted his body completely unceremoniously.
"Bang! Bang!"
Muscles collided on the field and produced muffled noises.
Although the two do not often face off in the game, Christie usually shares with Sun Hao his experience in defending Kobe.
If Kobe can't make a shot, he can't let him enter the offensive mode he is used to.
Or in other words, the best way to defend Kobe is to make his movements incoherent.
Sun Hao did a perfect job, and Kobe reluctantly leaned back to complete the shot after turning around continuously.
This is also a stalemate that backs hits are easy to fall into. Without Barkley's big ass, it is easy to be forced to stop the ball or be forced to shoot with difficulty.
"Huh!"
However, Kobe showed the improvement of his special training this month, with a difficult shot and a steady hit!
1 to 0!
The soldiers on the sidelines couldn't help whistling excitedly.
Although it is just a ball, the high-level confrontation between the two is unobstructed.
Complete visual enjoyment.
It's Kobe's ball.
This time Kobe chose the face frame, Sun Hao still confronted, and he still started to use small movements.
Facts proved that Christie's experience was very useful, Kobe was forced to enter the uncomfortable bottom line by Sun Hao.
The action is still very elegant.
"when!"
But the final shot came out!
With the ball exchange, it was Sun Hao's turn to attack!
As soon as Sun Hao took the ball, Kobe quickly defended against pressure.
This is the way he defended against Sun Hao in the Western Conference Finals, the only difference is that he is more aggressive.
However, Sun Hao had expected this to happen, a fake back, and then turned around with a low center of gravity to break through.
Although the season is over, his MVP halo is still there!
This time he turned around cleanly, and Kobe was too late to stop because he was too forward!
The previous experience of the two players on the court is not completely applicable in one-on-one.
Before, Sun Hao had to take into account possible double-teaming, but he was even more decisive in his movements one-on-one.
However, Kobe didn't give up, chasing Sun Hao from behind.
After Sun Hao felt that he didn't give a chance, he accelerated into the air and made a quick one-handed dunk!
"Boom!"
1 to 1.
This dunk drew a burst of color to the soldiers at the scene.
Compared with five years ago, the strength of the two has been greatly improved.
Of course, Sun Hao's range is obviously bigger. He could only score by surprise five years ago, but now he can calm down!
The next few have almost become a replica of the second one.
Kobe's defense failed to stop Sun Hao from scoring just like in the Western Conference Finals.
In a short while, the score on the field has changed from 1 to 1 to 2 to 1, to 3 to 1, and finally to 4 to 1!
With one more ball, Sun Hao will win this duel!
But with this last ball, Kobe took out absolute concentration, succeeded in chasing Sun Hao, and almost gave Sun Hao a big hat.
Sun Hao barely dodged in the air, but the ball also knocked out on the edge of the basket.
The ball is exchanged again!
The mood of the soldiers on the sidelines became excited again.
Don't think that the score of 4-1 is very disparity, just like the billiards game, the more the top confrontation, the less important the score difference. Because the opponent accidentally came to clear the table one by one!
The current confrontation is also the same. Just like Sun Hao changed the big score from 1 to 1 to 4 to 1, Kobe's from 1 to 4 to 5 to 4 may be a chance for the ball.
Kobe once again chose a back attack, another muscle collision.
Sun Hao's defense is still in place.
Although his defense is much inferior to offense, as Deng Huade said, the defense of seven points depends on talent and skill, and the remaining three points depend on attitude!
Kobe was defended once again with a difficult shot, and this time his shot finally went out of the basket.
The fans expressed regret.
Because this is likely to be Kobe's last chance.
Kobe didn't care.
He clapped himself to cheer himself, then threw the ball to Sun Hao, sinking the defensive focus.
Next time he will definitely seize the opportunity.
However, Sun Hao didn't seem to give him another chance at all, so he raised his hand and shot a three-pointer directly.
Previously, his offense used more turns to break through, which made Kobe afraid to defend himself as close as he did at the beginning.
But it is this kind of change that gave Sun Hao the opportunity ~ EbookFREE.me ~ It is too late for Kobe to jump out again.
Sun Hao has a beautiful follow-up action with the ball, and the intuition from the shooter tells him that the ball already has it.
Seeing the basketball spinning towards the hoop, his heart is more than beautiful enough to describe it.
"Huh!"
With a crisp sound, Sun Hao's three-pointer entered the net!
5 to 1!
Sun Hao defeated Kobe by absolute advantage in a one-on-one heads-up!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission "True and False Mamba" and get rewarded [Kobe turns around and shoots the bag]
In the next second, a system prompt sounded in Sun Hao's mind.
The hidden mission after five years is late, but it's here!
