Zhang Hao, who was taking out the textbook and preparing to watch, looked at the TV... "I'm!".

T previews the live broadcast of tomorrow's game, and they will broadcast two games.

One game is the 76ers' home game against the Trail Blazers starting at 3 pm, and the other game is the 8 pm Western Conference Time... Zhang Hao VS Lakers' game!

"I'm so envious. It would be great if one day the title of a game said Paul Pierce vs. Celtics."

A Lakers team spirit suddenly appeared next to him, which scared Zhang Hao!

"Paul, aren't you preparing dinner for the aunt?"

"Yes! I went out to pick two radishes."

"Your family still grows vegetables?"

"After my mother rented the apartment to someone else to open a nursing home, she was too idle. She asked me to buy the land behind her and make it into a vegetable garden. She asked her to play around and spend money, but she just didn't go."

"It's good to do something."

"Yes, I rented my apartment to the chain nursing home company for a while. Now my mom still regrets it... I'm going to do it first... Tsk tsk, I really envy you. I was quite sorry to be unable to play together in the NBA. Now I think Bill Walton said that leaving the Lakers completely releases your abilities is a good choice..."

Pierce went back to the kitchen to help her mother cook, and Aprilie was there to help.

Zhang Hao didn't expect that after becoming a professional player, Pierce could cook. In March, Pierce showed his cooking skills in front of him.

Now Zhang Hao and his family are at Pierce's house. During the offseason, after confirming that they will not be traded, Pierce spent $6 million to buy a luxury house in Beverly Hills. The money was borrowed from Zhang Hao. They will pay the money every half month during the season. It is expected that they will pay the remaining amount when they get the big contract after the rookie contract is over and the interest is paid.

In Pierce's words, it is better to make money for Zhang Hao than to make money for the bank.

Zhang Hao is very clear about money and will not give it away for free if he deserves it.

After wandering around Pierce's house, Zhang Hao saw several posters in the gym.

This is a poster bought by Pierce in three years at the University of Science and Technology. The Lakers All-State Star Group in the 95-96 season, the Three Fats + the Big Three Nets in the 96-97 season, two posters for the Five All-Stars, and the Big Three Nets in the 97-98 season, the Big Three Nets + O'Neal.

There is also the poster of the Lakers in the 1998-99 season, after Pierce entered the NBA, he and Zhang were also on the poster at that time.

The latest one is a poster of Payton, Glenn Rice, Pierce, Rick Fox and O'Neal fives.

There was a little nostalgia, but he knew that everything had been over!

...

On December 25, 1999, Christmas is here.

China regards the coming 2000 as the last year of the 20th century, and the same is true for the scientific community, but most countries around the world are preparing to celebrate the arrival of the new century on January 1, 2000.

The same is true for the basketball world, regarding today's Christmas as the last Christmas of the 20th century and today's Christmas battle as the last Christmas battle of the 20th century.

In order to conform to the cognitive habits of most people, in mid-December, the Global Natural Science Commission announced that it would default to the 1st century AD to 99 and 2000 as the first year of the new century, which is also in line with the commonly used term names, avoiding the strange situation of people born in the 1980s.

Originally, when experts came out and said that 2000 was in the 20th century, many people opposed it.

Now, in order to cater to the public's awareness, the Global Natural Science Commission has created a 1st century AD in 99, and put 2000 into the 21st century, and some people have come out to refute it.

If you look closely, you will be the same group of people who oppose 2000 belong to the 20th century and those who oppose 2000 belong to the 21st century.

2000 has not arrived yet, and the matter of which century 2000 belongs to has become a hot topic for people to controversy, in fact, it adds a topic to people to talk about.

At 3 pm, the 76ers and the Trail Blazers kicked off the Christmas battle.

Many teams regretted that Jordan failed to participate in the Christmas game this year, but there was no way. When Jordan announced his comeback, the schedule had been set.

In the finals, the Trail Blazers and the 76ers team formed a bond.

The game was very intense.

For the 76ers, Duncan scored 18 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks, Iverson scored 35 points, 7 assists, George Lynch scored 14 points, 4 rebounds and 2 steals...

For the Trail Blazers, Nash scored 15 points and 15 assists, Sabonis scored 14 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, and Rashid Wallace scored 21 points...

In the end, with Nash scoring 6 points in a row at a critical moment, the Trail Blazers defeated the defending champion 76ers away 104-101, avenging last season's finals.

The first game of the Christmas game was very fierce and the game was very good. Both teams had a wave of widening the gap but being caught up by the opponent. There were back and forth. In the last moment, Nash, who played for 40 minutes and only scored 9 points, scored 6 points in a row, and played the opponent 6-1. The Trail Blazers turned around and won, and the suspense was never lost.

After the championship and runner-up matches last season, a Christmas battle between the east and west started at the same time.

Suns vs Jazz, Knicks vs Heat.

The competitions that Anfenny Hardaway, who was in his prime, were always full of romanticism.

The master-disciple between Pat Riley and Jeff Van Gundy is full of hatred and a bloody battle between hand and hand.

The styles of the two games were completely different, and each attracted the appreciation of fans who liked their style.

As these two games are approaching, the live broadcasts of the three TV stations, namely the Chinese imperial court, the United States, T Sports, Fox Sports and Time Warner Cable Sports, have cut to the Staples Center, and the players of the two teams have entered the court.

...

When Kassel, Ruben Patterson, Ratliff and Artest appeared, there were booing at the scene. When Zhang Hao, the last player of the visiting team, appeared, the sound at the scene was chaotic and very noisy.

Some cheered and some booed, and the fans started to argue, and there was a tendency to fight with one disagreement.

However, when the home team players appeared, the cheers at the scene were very unified. Payton, Glenn Rice, Pierce, AC Green, and O'Neal appeared one after another, and O'Neal's cheers reached a boiling point when O'Neal appeared.

Today, the Lakers made adjustments, not allowing Pierce or Rick Fox to take the power forward, but instead sent serious power forward AC Green.

"Los Angeles Lakers, record: 23 wins and 4 losses, averaged 103.3 points per game, lost 94.4 points per game, and overall shooting percentage"

"Gary Payton, 31 years old, 193 cm, 86 kg, ability evaluation 95... Average 24.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 8.1 assists and 2.3 steals..."

"Shake O'Neal, 27 years old, 216 cm, 143 kg, ability evaluation 102...32.2 points, 11.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 0.8 steals, 2.8 blocks..."

"Paul Pierce, 22 years old, 201 cm, 107 kg, ability evaluation 84... Average 16.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.7 steals and 1 block..."

Zhang Hao looked at the Lakers' player detection report. Except for these three brothers, no one in the Lakers scored in double digits. Even except these three brothers, Fisher, who averaged the highest average score, just averaged 7 points and 3.4 assists.

"If I stayed, it would probably be me, Pickley, Big Fat, three of us who have a abilities of over 80 players, and the others are role players... In today's salary situation, unless Payton and Malone join the middle class or the basic salary, it would be difficult for many giant combinations to happen this year after the special situation of renewal without a hat. The Suns' situation is very rare. A bunch of corner players with high salary contracts can be traded to get Clifford Robinson, but the Suns' situation is also very dangerous. If they don't win the championship in two or three years, they will definitely break up the existing star combination.

To put it this way, there is a reason why Stern refused to let Paul go to the Lakers in 2011. If Paul, Kobe, Gasol, and Odom get together, judging by Kobe's career-free offensive efficiency, the team was unstoppable in the Stern era.

After the salary increased, the situation that the super team was uncontrollable, Stern chose to try his best to control... It would not work when it came to the school beauties, and it would completely collapse."

Zhang Hao now understands the Lakers' mismatch with the Celtics' choice of 70 million to Kenny Anderson for five years. In fact, he understood it very early, but he just couldn't accept the arrogance of the Lakers' management.

He can understand why Paul George didn't dream of playing for the Lakers since he was a child, and also filmed three-episode films to humiliate the Lakers, and finally joined the same-city Clippers that he had despised since he was a child.

Turning off the system screen, Zhang Hao walked onto the court and preparing to shoot and maintain the good start of the game brought by the long warm-up before the game. A giant man suddenly appeared in front of the Supersonics bench.

Ben Wallace, Jason Williams, Cassel, Artest, and Ruben Patterson five quickly reacted and surrounded Zhang Hao.

O'Neal was startled!

He just ran over and the provocation had not even begun. What were these people going to do! Especially the shortest one, who was too rich and afraid!

Everyone's eyes were focused on the Supersonics bench. Other Lakers players rushed over, fearing that O'Neal would be beaten by the Supersonics gangsters. The fans on the scene stared at this place and the referee also ran up.

Zhang Hao raised his left hand and waved it, and the five teammates who looked very vicious in various ways dispersed.

With O'Neal, they are not afraid of Zhang Hao's losses.

After calming down his teammates, Zhang Hao said to O'Neal: "Mr. O'Neal, good evening, you seem to have gained weight, too fat."

O'Neal was about to get angry on the spot!

Last summer, who came back from the World Championships and said, "Mr. O'Neal, you can gain weight... Don't worry about adaptability in the new season. I will hold on to the regular season. Just be able to adapt well in the playoffs." Then, I ran! Run!

Resisting the urge to transform into a resentful woman, O'Neal ignored the things he was scared just now, adjusted his expression, and said with a teasing look: "Look at you now, without me, you can't even enter the top four in the West!"

"Before you joined the Lakers, I led the team to win 65 wins in the West."

How to refute this? No fulcrum can be found.

65 wins... He and Payton are probably hard to win 65 wins this year.

"I can still win 65 without you... You can wait to lose tonight!"

Without giving Zhang Hao a chance to continue speaking, O'Neal ran away after he finished speaking.

"... Why is this big fat man like a resentful woman? Don't worry about him."

O'Neal tried his best not to expose his resentful woman's emotions, but the calm and keen Zhang Hao was still aware of O'Neal's current state.

As usual, although Zhang Hao is looking forward to playing against the Lakers, his mentality is very calm and he only has one idea to lead his teammates to win the game.

The Supersonics will have a hard time at the end of December. After playing against the Lakers tonight, the day after tomorrow, the 27th, playing against the Kings at home, the 28th, playing against the 76ers at home, the 30th, and the Bulls away.

Just when Zhang Hao calmed down the mood swing caused by O'Neal's provocation, the system prompted him!

"Revisiting the old place, things change, grudges, love and hatred, all of them are uncontrollable, and they all appear before us. The special signing player Zhang Hao's hatred for the Lakers, his unwillingness to be traded, and his dissatisfaction with the strength of the team he is in at the moment... they cannot be restrained. The second phase of the return of the King of the series mission: Revenge Christmas Eve triggered..."

"I am in a peaceful mood now! I like the current situation very much! I am unwilling to accept it, dissatisfied, and unreasonable!"

Zhang Hao was so painful, but the tasks were all here. He was looking forward to more tasks, but after his comeback, he had few tasks. After complaining about it, he quickly read the task description.

"Revenge Christmas Eve: The Return of the King's Phase 2 Mission.

Target 1: Zhang Hao needs to lead the Supersonics to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers in tonight’s Christmas game…”
