Chapter 507: Grant Hill is back!

When Durant was sent away, Sun Hao took Scarlett to chat.
It is related to Cecilia.
Yesterday, while having dinner with O’Neill, he made a decision and was ready to act on Thanksgiving.
The matter is not small, and it is related to Cecilia, so he has to discuss it with Scarlett.
"Go ahead, it's a good thing."
Scarlett did not object.
"You come with me, we are in the name of husband and wife."
Sun Hao suggested.
Scarlett smiled and nodded. Sun Hao was very happy to be able to say that.
...
Thanksgiving is an important holiday in the West or the United States.
As the name implies, thanksgiving, the tradition is to be grateful to God, but it can also be extended to be grateful to family, relatives and friends, and even everything else.
This is also an important holiday in the United States second only to Christmas.
Turkey, pumpkin pie, and Black Friday are all important labels.
Thanksgiving is not just a day, it usually lasts from Thursday to Sunday.
On the second day of Thanksgiving, Sun Hao and Scarlett went to the suburbs of Los Angeles.
There are a lot of activities on Thanksgiving Day. The campfire party is more traditional. Of course, some people will go out for outings and shopping.
Sun Hao and Scarlett also went shopping on this day.
It's just different from what ordinary people buy.
What they want to buy is a big item: a house!
Los Angeles is very large, with many satellite cities in addition to the urban area.
When Sun Hao played for the Mavericks in the summer league before, it was in Long Beach.
Although it is a satellite city, the traffic is developed, and it takes about half an hour to drive to the city.
In a sense, these cities can also be regarded as the "suburbs" of Los Angeles.
Sun Hao and the others went to one of them, Chino Hills.
This satellite city has a special feature. There are especially many Chinese.
According to the latest statistics, the proportion of Chinese in Chino Hills currently exceeds 39%. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a Chinese city.
The reason why I chose to buy a house here is that besides being relatively cheaper, there is another more important point, safety.
Sun Hao now has an unparalleled status among the yellow race, and he does not do charity less often, and his real estate is also naturally protected here.
Before they looked at the house, they called Cecilia.
Cecilia is preparing lunch for Sun Hao.
Knowing from the phone that Sun Hao had gone to Chino Hill, she packed up the food and hurried over.
Although there is some wonder in her heart why Sun Hao didn't greet her in advance, but after so many years, she already knew how to be a good nutritionist:
On call, eat on demand.
When the car arrived at the address given by Sun Hao, she hurried over with lunch.
"Sorry, I am late."
Seeing that Sun Hao and Scarlett were waiting for her, she walked over quickly apologetically.
"We're not hungry yet, come, let us see the house first."
Sun Hao said with a smile.
Cecilia froze for a moment, and asked her to help look at the house?
"I don't quite understand this."
Cecilia was embarrassed, this is beyond her scope of business!
"It's okay, just help us refer to it."
Sun Hao didn't explain much, and then began to take Cecilia to look at the house.
Throughout the whole process, Sun Hao and Scarlett did not express any opinions, and they listened to Cecilia.
It didn't feel like they bought the house, but Cecilia bought it.
Seeing the back, Cecilia strongly recommended a set to Sun Hao and the others.
That is a villa, the price is about 500,000 US dollars, close to the city, the lighting environment is very good.
More importantly, there is a garden in the front and a pet house in the back, which is very suitable for living.
"Good-looking, just this set?"
Sun Hao turned around to ask Scarlett for advice.
Scarlett smiled and nodded.
The house was finalized, because it was the full payment, so the contract was signed.
Cecilia couldn't help showing envy as she watched from the side.
When Sun Hao visited her house, the two had a conversation about the house.
Her dream is to buy such a house for her adoptive father and mother.
It's just that even if Sun Hao gave her an absolutely handsome salary, she didn't know how long it would take to buy such a house.
Living in Los Angeles costs a lot.
"Cecilia, come here to sign."
She was in a daze with emotion, and Sun Hao's voice brought her back to reality.
She froze there and did not understand.
"This is your house."
Sun Hao said with a smile.
"mine?"
Cecilia's eyes widened.
She thought she had heard it wrong.
"The house you chose, so it's yours."
Sun Hao said jokingly.
But after being squeezed by Scarlett's arm, he immediately coughed twice, and then said:
"This is a Thanksgiving gift we gave you. I think you like it, and your adoptive father and mother will also like it."
"No, I can't ask."
Cecilia reacted, but she immediately shook her head instinctively.
It's not that she doesn't like this house, but that this gift is too expensive.
"If you don't want it, you may lose your job."
Sun Hao sighed with emotion that the people educated by kind-hearted people are also kind-hearted people, and then "threat".
Immediately, he was squeezed by Scarlett again, the kind that was harder than before.
Sun Hao couldn't help coughing again.
"Actually...this is what Scarlett meant. She is very grateful to you for your hard work over the past few years. She feels that you also have a great contribution to my success, so she made such a proposal. You know that I have always been very I can’t refuse anyone who loves my wife, so for the sake of our husband and wife harmony, you agree to it?

Sun Hao's subsequent words made Scarlett amused directly.
This "Emotional Quotient" graduated with perfect scores, flattering is so comfortable.
Cecilia was still a little embarrassed.
But seeing Scarlett nodding her head, she also knew that it wouldn't be good for her to refuse.
After signing the contract, she couldn't control her emotions and cried.
For so many years, her goal is to buy a house like what she said to repay her adoptive father and adoptive mother.
But this kind of thing is really difficult for ordinary people, especially in Los Angeles.
After she got married, the financial pressure was even greater, and she didn't know if she could really do it.
But Sun Hao directly helped her realize her dream at this moment.
Scarlett went up to comfort Cecilia at this time.
Looking at the two women, Sun Hao...Of course he didn't think much.
He is not the kind of person who eats a bowl and looks at the pot, otherwise the condition of Cecilia would have been a regular nutritionist.
What happened to Cecilia at the time brought him great feelings.
And half a million dollars is not big money for him now.
Of course, the most important thing is that Cecilia is his dietitian and chef, which is in charge of food!
Give some rewards, not too much.
What, is Sun Hao still short of people?
No shortage!
...
Time flew fast, and it was early December.
After the Lakers won 9 straight at the beginning of the game, they were focused on by their opponents, and their record was a bit ups and downs.
But so far, they still top the league with a record of 17 wins and 2 losses!
This record is also the best start in the history of the Lakers!
The record of 14 wins and 1 loss in November is the best single-month record since 2000.
Sun Hao was elected player of the month, and Phil Jackson was elected coach of the month.
This is definitely a wonderful season for Lakers fans.
Although, it came a bit later than expected!
Fans ridiculed "Hill" on social media to sit on the bench and bring luck to the Lakers.
But the real reason is the improvement of the Lakers defense.
According to statistics, the Lakers have averaged 108.6 points per game so far this season, ranking tenth in the league.
But their average points per game is 99.2 points, ranking fifth in the league!
A very simple math problem, their average net win is 9.4 points!
This data is an absolutely strong team, and very stable data.
And this kind of defensive improvement is not just the addition of Posey.
The defensive recovery brought by O'Neal's continuous weight loss, as well as Sun Hao's defensive improvement, are visible to the naked eye.
At this time, the Lakers ushered in the good news they had been waiting for.
Grant Hill, ready to make a comeback!
In the Lakers training session, Hill was having the first full-time practice with the Lakers.
His state is surprisingly good.
For athletes, weight is really a very interesting thing.
When you are not fighting enough, gaining weight is the fastest way to increase resistance;
When your bodily functions begin to decline, weight loss is the best way to regain your state;
Hill is very self-disciplined. He has reduced from 102 kilograms to 97 kilograms in the Lakers, which is also the weight required by the coaching staff.
After losing weight, his movement frequency has increased significantly, and his self-confidence is quickly restored.
It shows that it is easy to do in the training game.
He played with people from the bench and quickly became the core of organization and offense.
Don't mention how happy Phil Jackson was when he saw this.
The Lakers had ups and downs in their previous record because of the decrease in the ball-holding points after Finley left.
Coupled with the severe decline of Payton this season, it is difficult to be competent.
Basically, the team is back to the oK era, the ball is played in two core hands, and the opponent is easy to target.
If Sun Hao and O'Neal are in good form, the Lakers' record this season would not have reached this level.
In fact, at the end of last season, the management has already realized the need to increase the second strong point.
Including Sun Hao's suggestion that the management is willing to gamble, but also expects Hill to play that role.
Now Hill is in this state, so people look forward to it!
Even Sun Hao was inexplicably excited.
Speaking of coming from the cooperation with Bodi Loga four years ago, he has not partnered with a star-level backcourt for a long time.
Basically because of his offensive and defensive style, his partners are defensive types like Bell and Ariza.
But this season he has improved defensively and has the premise of partnering with Hill.
Everything came so just right.
Of course, training is just training. What exactly Hill can do requires a formal match test.
The good news is that this result will be announced soon.
The Lakers' opponent in the next game is the Denver Nuggets.
As the season continues to deepen, the Nuggets have some ups and downs, but the overall development is still moving in a good direction.
They are currently at the top of the Northwest Division with a record of 11 wins and 6 losses.
Because the league has implemented a new competition system in the new season, the top of the division has changed from the original top three to the top four, and the Nuggets are currently ranked fourth in the West.
First hit fourth, this will not be an easy game.
A comeback in a competition of this intensity is not necessarily the best choice for Hill.
However, this is a choice that both Hill and the Lakers hope to make.
The Lakers' goal this season is dynasty, so it doesn't make any sense to play well against weak teams.
On the contrary, playing a strong team can better reflect the true strength.
After the Lakers announced that Hill would return in this game, esPn and TnT both regarded the live broadcast of this game as the most important game of the day.
The media pays attention to it, and the fans pay more attention to it.
Sun Hao, O'Neal, Iverson, James, Hill!
As far as stars are concerned, this is definitely the best of the season!
"This is a game you must never miss!"
Even Barkley temporarily set aside Durant's affairs and devoted all his attention to this game.
Staples Center is full of seats.
In the front row, Hollywood movie stars gathered.
The eight classics, the battle of focus.
"Hey, I heard that Sun gave his nutritionist a villa, it, why didn't that guy give me one!"
In the commentary, Barkley had begun to talk freely while the game had not yet started.
This time he partnered with Kenny Smith, as well as a special guest, "that man" Michael Jordan.
Why is Jordan invited? The reason is very simple. There are a bunch of Jordan successors on the court, and there is one who will return tonight.
"You are not a female, and you are ugly."
Jordan glanced at Barkley and said.
"what……"
Barkley froze for a moment, then smiled until he lowered his head and held his forehead.
Probably only Jordan dared to speak like this.
The key is because it is Jordan, he can't refute it yet!
Kenny Smith, who was on the side, laughed loudly and took the initiative to reach out and slap Jordan.
He always felt that he was at a loss in the previous "pro-ass" betting, and now Jordan has helped him find some places.
"Well, let's talk about the game."
Barkley smiled and changed the subject.
"Do you think Grant will play tonight?"
He continued.
"I think Phil Jackson should let Grant start from the bench to be safe."
Kenny Smith expressed his opinion.
"I think so."
Barkley echoed Smith.
"I think Phil will let him directly, I know him."
Jordan licked his lips, then nodded.
"No, no~EbookFREE.me~ you will be wrong this time."
It's rare for Barkley to agree with Smith, and he thinks he can guess right this time.
Jordan pouted and pouted.
After a while, the scene entered the opening ceremony, and the two teams appeared one after another.
Nuggets: Iverson, JR Smith, James, Martin, Camby.
Lakers: Sun Hao, Hill, Ariza, Walker, O'Neal.
Barkley was directly on the table this time.
Jordan had an expression of "I'm sorry I pretended to be forced".
"You know that handsome people can always be right, but ugly people can only lie on the table."
Jordan continued.
Barkley smirked and sat up straight and looked at Jordan.
You are handsome... well, you are rich, you are handsome!
