After Sun Hao said that other Lakers players were deeply touched.

The bosses of the team all have this attitude, so what reason do others not do their best?

Especially those who said they wanted to give up before were even more ashamed.

"We'll win, guys, because we're the defending champions."

Horry stood up and said.

He raised his hand into the air while speaking.

This time node is well grasped, and other Lakers players have also stacked their hands one after another.

"Lakes champion!"

They then shouted the most familiar slogan.

The Lakers' fighting spirit is back!

Phil Jackson smiled again when he saw what was happening in front of him.

This movie is more useful than training.

Moreover, the choices made by Mo Ning and Sun Hao will also become the key to the Christmas war.

The past few games show that the Lakers' inside problem is too big, so if Mo Ning can perform in the starting lineup, the Lakers can be in a stalemate with the Wizards.

Then, it’s Sun Hao, and Sun Hao is the key to the game.

The team with more scores won the game, Sun Hao scored 40+ in three consecutive games, and it was already enough, but more was needed.

Even Jackson was looking forward to this game.

The Christmas war comes as scheduled, of course this day is also Christmas.

Sun Hao prepared some gifts for Scarlett on this day, and Scarlett also prepared some for him.

Although Scarlett did not ask for N holiday gifts a year like those women in Sun Hao's previous life, Christmas is no more than other festivals.

And this time, Sun Hao received a very special gift.

It was a necklace, and the special thing was that the diamonds used for necklace pendants were made of diamonds on the wedding ring.

This is similar to the diamond earrings that Pippen gave Jordan.

Although I don’t know if Scarlett has read that news, it is actually not important, the important intention.

Sun Hao was still a little moved.

And on days like Christmas, Scarlett would also come to Staples Center to cheer him on, which gave him more motivation to play the game well.

That night, the Staples Center was full.

The stadium gave all the fans present a birthday gift, which was a specially made Christmas hat with the Lakers logo.

Lakers fans were all wearing it proudly, and the scene was red and very festive.

During the warm-up before the game, Sun Hao and Yao Ming chatted in the midfield.

Yao Ming cares about O'Neal's injury.

Judging from the exchanges between the two at Sun Hao’s wedding, the relationship between Yao Ming and O’Neal is a bit like that between Sun Hao and Kobe.

There are opponents on the field, and friends off the field.

Of course that's not all. In addition to O'Neal, the two also talked about next year's World Championships.

They finally won the bronze medal in the last World Championships, and then they won the Olympic championship. There is basically only one goal for this World Championships, that is, to win the championship.

Moreover, if you can win the championship this time, it will not only be a breakthrough for the World Championships, but also because of the venue of this World Championships.

Japan.

When the two were chatting similarly, the opening ceremony began immediately.

The two teams started one after another.

On the Wizards, Nelson, Hamilton, McGrady, Uncle Huo Er, Yao Ming;

Seeing the Wizards' starting lineup this season, you won't wonder why Jordan gave Sun Hao and Ferrari such an expensive gift.

Needless to say, Hamilton stayed because of Sun Hao's suggestion, and Nelson, who was able to play in the starter in the second grade.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this Wizards team was created by Sun Hao.

On the Lakers side, Sun Hao, Finley, Ariza, Walker, and Mooning.

When seeing the Lakers start with Mourning, Carlisle on the Wizards did not seem surprised.

It’s not that he predicted things like a god, but a reasonable speculation.

After O'Neal was absent, the Lakers' starting performance with Anderson was not good, and adjusting the lineup was a regular operation.

Moreover, Mo Ning has been in average season so he is not worried.

A whistle sounded on the sidelines and the curtain of the Christmas battle officially kicked off.

Yao Ming turned the ball back to the Wizards' half to get the opportunity to take the lead in attacking the away team.

The Wizards came up to play a pick-and-roll cooperation, and Miraculous and Uncle Huo Er pulled out their hands after pick-and-roll.

"when!"

It's a pity that the ball shot was a little heavier and bounced high on the back edge of the basket.

Yao Ming suppressed Mo Ning to take off the defensive rebound and took advantage of the situation to get a close hook.

Mo Ning has already stuck in the position, but he can't stop Yao Ming's current strength.

The ball went over his defense and fell into the net bag.

The Wizards took the lead!

Carlisle nodded on the sidelines.

Yao Ming's current dominance in the inside is his confidence.

In the current league, no one can stop Yao Ming from the center position except O'Neal.

Looking back, Sun Hao played Hamilton with the ball on the back at the high position.

In addition to the tactical system brought by Carlisle, the Wizards' offensive improvement this season also has the adjustment of the starting lineup.

When Van Gundy coached, Alexander, who had better defense, was the team's starting small forward, and the team's offensive organization relied heavily on McGrady.

McGrady is an all-round small forward with excellent organizational skills and is fully qualified to play the role of a forward.

But he and James are different after all, and his strongest ability is still scoring.

So to some extent, letting him organize is equivalent to limiting his score.

After Carlisle arrived this season, he replaced Alexander with Nelson, which brought McGrady's scoring ability back.

So far this season, McGrady averaged 26.2 points per game and shot 45.7%, making her a popular candidate for MVP.

But everything has two sides. Such adjustments have not caused the Wizards' overall defensive ability to decline too much, but the defensive decline of individual soldiers' ability is inevitable.

Because most of the time during the game, the task of defending the opponent's arrows to score is Hamilton.

Hamilton is a top scorer without a ball and a super physical weirdo. The trance in history that he jumped his dog and spitted his dog is talked about.

But no one has ever classified him as a defensive player, and even if you are bored, search Hamilton and add the word defense, the information you get is basically about his opponent.

NBA outside defensive players can actually be roughly summarized into two categories. One is that they are thin but have excellent arm spreads. Ariza is the representative of them;

The other type is strong, like James, a typical example.

Of course, there are also some that do well in both categories, such as Leonard and Payton, who are historically-level defensive monsters.

And Hamilton is exactly the other extreme.

He is thin and his wingspan is also average.

So this makes him destined to be an excellent defender.

But the next second, the referee whistle blew Yao Ming's blocking foul.

Sun Hao got two free throws.

He adjusted his breathing and hit both free throws steadily.

Yao Ming scored 4 points in a row at the beginning, and Sun Hao scored 4 points in a row.

Yao Ming directly fell to the low post and hit the back.

Mo Ning's ball shows his difference from Anderson. His low-post defense is still the top in the league.

Yao Ming couldn't move and chose... turned around and leaned back to take action!

You really can't find a second player who is of this height and can make such technical moves.

But Yao Ming not only did he come to the league, but he had reached a level of perfection in four seasons.

Mo Ning had no choice but to do this.
