I am so Accurate
Chapter 508: Grant Hill Comes Back! (Second update!)
After sending Durant away, Sun Hao pulled Scarlett to chat about something.
It's about Cecilia.
Over dinner with O'Neill yesterday, he made a decision and plans to act on it at Thanksgiving.
The matter was not small, and it was related to Cecilia, so he had to discuss it with Scarlett.
"Go ahead, it's a good thing."
Scarlett didn't object.
"You go with me, we are in the name of husband and wife."
Sun Hao suggested.
Scarlett nodded with a smile, she was very happy that Sun Hao could say that.
...
Thanksgiving is an important holiday in the West, or in the United States.
As the name suggests, gratitude, the tradition is to thank God, but it can also be extended to thank family, relatives and friends, and even everything else.
It is also an important holiday in the United States after Christmas.
Turkey, pumpkin pie, Black Friday, these are all important tags.
Thanksgiving is not just a single day, it generally 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 Thanksgiving activities, the bonfire party is more traditional, and of course some people will go out for outings and shopping.
Sun Hao and Scarlett also went shopping on this day.
It's just not the same as what ordinary people buy.
What they're after is a big purchase: a house!
Los Angeles is very large, in addition to the urban area, there are many satellite cities.
For example, when Sun Hao played the summer league on behalf of the Mavericks, it was played in Long Beach.
Although it is a satellite city, the transportation is well developed, and it takes about half an hour to drive to the urban area.
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 City.
This satellite city has a characteristic, especially the Chinese.
According to the latest statistics, the current proportion of Chinese in Chino Hills has exceeded 39%, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a Chinese city.
The reason why I choose to buy a house here is not only relatively cheaper, but also a more important point, safety.
Sun Hao now has an unparalleled status among the yellow race, and he usually does charity, 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 Hills, she packed her food and rushed over immediately.
Although she was a little surprised why Sun Hao didn't greet her in advance, after so many years, she already knew how to be a good nutritionist:
Whenever you are called, you can eat whenever you want.
The car arrived at the address given by Sun Hao, and she hurried over with her lunch.
"Sorry, I am late."
Seeing that Sun Hao and Scarlett were waiting for her, she walked over quickly with an apologetic face.
"We're not hungry yet, come on, first help us look at the house."
Sun Hao said with a smile.
Cecilia froze for a moment and asked her to look after the house?
"I don't quite understand that."
Cecilia looked embarrassed, this was beyond her business scope!
"It's okay, just help us refer."
Sun Hao didn't explain much, and then started to look at the house with Cecilia.
During the whole process, Sun Hao and Scarlett didn't express any opinions, they were mostly listening to Cecilia.
It didn't feel like they bought the house, but Cecilia bought it.
Seeing the back, Cecilia finally strongly recommended a set to Sun Hao and the others.
It was a villa with a price of around 500,000 US dollars. It was close to the urban area and had good lighting conditions.
What's more, there is a garden in the front and a pet house in the back, which is very suitable for living.
"You have a good eye, is that all you need?"
Sun Hao turned to Scarlett for advice.
Scarlett nodded with a smile.
After finalizing the house, because it is the full payment, the contract is signed directly.
Cecilia couldn't help showing envy as she watched from the sidelines.
When Sun Hao visited her home, the two had a conversation about the house.
Her dream is to buy such a house for her adoptive parents.
It's just that even if Sun Hao gave her an absolutely generous salary, she didn't know how long it would take to buy such a house.
Living in Los Angeles is expensive.
"Cecilia, come here and sign."
She was in a daze with emotion, but Sun Hao's voice brought her back to reality.
She froze there and didn't understand.
"This is your house."
Sun Hao said with a smile.
"mine?"
Cecilia's eyes widened.
She thought she had heard wrong.
"You chose the house, so it's yours."
Sun Hao said jokingly.
But after being pinched by Scarlett, he immediately coughed twice, and then said:
"This is our Thanksgiving gift for you. I think you like it, and your adoptive parents will also like it."
"No, I can't."
Only then did Cecilia react, 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, you may lose your job."
After Sun Hao sighed for a moment, the people educated by kind people are also kind people, and then he said "threat".
Immediately, Scarlett pinched his arm again, more forcefully than before.
Sun Hao couldn't help coughing again.
"Actually... this is what Scarlett meant. She is very grateful for your hard work over the past few years. She thinks you have a lot of credit for my success, so she made such a proposal. You know that I have always been very happy. I can't refuse those who love my wife, so for the harmony of our husband and wife, you agree?"
Sun Hao's next words made Scarlett laugh.
This person who graduated with a full score in "Emotional Intelligence" is so comfortable in flattering.
Cecilia was still a little embarrassed.
But seeing Scarlett nodding, she also knew that it would not be good for her to refuse.
After signing the contract, she couldn't control her emotions and cried.
For so many years, the goal of her efforts is to buy a house like the one she said at the beginning to repay her adoptive parents.
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 at this moment, Sun Hao directly helped her realize her dream.
Scarlett went up to hug Cecilia to comfort her for a while.
Looking at the two women, Sun Hao...Of course he didn't think much about it.
He is not the kind of person who eats from the bowl and looks at the pot, otherwise Cecilia's condition would have been a nutritionist long ago.
What happened to Cecilia at the beginning still touched him a lot.
And $500,000 is not a lot of money for him now.
Of course, the most important thing is that Cecilia is his nutritionist and chef, which is in charge of the food!
Give some rewards, not too much.
What, is Sun Hao's team still short of people?
No shortage!
...
Time flies, and it is early December in a blink of an eye.
After the Lakers won 9 consecutive victories at the start of the game, they were focused on by their opponents, and their record fluctuated somewhat.
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 team!
Among them, the record of 14 wins and 1 loss in November is the best single-month record since 2000.
Sun Hao was elected the best player of the month, and Phil Jackson was elected the best coach of the month.
It's definitely been a fantastic season for Lakers fans.
Although, it came later than expected!
Fans ridiculed "Hill" on social media that sitting on the bench brought luck to the Lakers.
But the real reason is the improved defense of the Lakers.
According to statistics, the Lakers have averaged 108.6 points per game so far this season, ranking fourth in the league.
But their average conceded points per game is 99.2 points, ranking fifth in the league!
A simple math problem, their net rating is 9.4 points per game!
This data is the data of an absolutely strong team, and a very stable strong team.
And this improvement in defense is not just the addition of Posey.
The defensive recovery brought about by O'Neal's continuous weight loss, as well as Sun Hao's defensive improvement, are all visible to the naked eye.
It was at this time that the Lakers ushered in another piece of good news they had been looking forward to for a long time.
Grant Hill, get ready for a comeback!
In the Lakers training session, Hill is having the first full-court practice with the Lakers.
His condition is surprisingly good.
Body weight is a really interesting thing for athletes.
When your resistance is insufficient, gaining weight is the fastest way to increase resistance;
When your physical function begins to decline, losing weight is the best way to regain the state;
Hill's self-discipline is very strong. He has dropped from 102 kilograms when he was a Laker to 97 kilograms, which is also the weight required by the coaching staff.
After losing weight, his movement frequency has improved significantly, and his self-confidence is also recovering rapidly.
It shows that it is easy to do in the training match.
He played with the people on the bench and quickly became the core of the organization and offense.
When seeing this, Phil Jackson couldn't say how happy he was.
The Lakers had ups and downs in their previous record because the number of ball-holding points on the court decreased after Finley left.
Coupled with the fact that Payton's state has declined sharply this season, it is difficult to be competent as a starter.
Basically, the team has returned to the OK period. The ball is played in two core hands, and it is easy for the opponent to target.
If Sun Hao and O'Neal were not in good condition, the Lakers' record this season would not have reached this level.
In fact, by the end of last season, the management had already realized the need to increase the second strong point of holding the ball.
Including Sun Hao's suggestion, the management is willing to gamble, and they all expect Hill to take on that role.
Now Hill is in this state, which makes people look forward to it!
Even Sun Hao was inexplicably excited.
Speaking of which, since he worked with Bodi Loga four years ago, he hasn't partnered with a star-level backcourt for a long time.
Basically because of his offensive and defensive style, his partners are all defensive players like Bell and Ariza.
But this season, his defense has improved significantly, and he has the prerequisites to partner with Hill.
Everything came so just right.
Of course, training is just training, and what Hill can do well still needs to be tested in an official game.
The good news is that the result will be announced soon.
The Lakers' opponent in the next game is the Denver Nuggets.
As the season continues, the Nuggets have experienced some ups and downs in their record, but overall they are still developing in a good direction.
They currently sit 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 spot in the division has changed from the original top three to the top four. The Nuggets are currently ranked fourth in the West.
First to fourth, this will not be an easy game.
A comeback in a game of this intensity isn't necessarily the best option for Hill.
However, this is the choice that both Hill and the Lakers hope to make.
The goal of the Lakers this season is a 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 real 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 Starlight is concerned, this is definitely the best of the season!
"This is an absolutely unmissable game!"
Even Barkley temporarily put aside Durant's affairs and devoted all his attention to this game.
The Staples Center was packed.
In the front row, there are even more Hollywood stars gathered.
Seriously, the battle of focus.
"Hey, I heard that Sun gave his nutritionist a villa, damn it, why didn't that guy give me one!"
In the commentary seat, before the game started, Barkley had already started talking.
This time, in addition to Kenny Smith, he will be partnered with a special guest, "The Man" Michael Jordan.
The reason why Jordan was invited is very simple. There are a bunch of Jordan's successors on the field, and there is one who will come back tonight.
"You're not a girl, and you're ugly."
Jordan glanced at Barkley and said.
"What……"
Buckley froze for a moment, then laughed until he lowered his head and held his forehead.
Probably only Jordan dared to say that.
The key is because it is Jordan, he has no way to refute it!
Kenny Smith on the side laughed loudly, and reached out to give Jordan a high five.
He always felt that he was at a disadvantage in the previous "ass-kissing" bet, and now Jordan helped him find some ground.
"Okay, let's talk about the game."
Barkley smiled and changed the subject.
"Do you think Grant will start tonight's game?"
he went on.
"I think to be on the safe side, Phil Jackson should start Grant off the bench."
Kenny Smith has his say.
"I think so."
Barkley echoed Smith.
"I think Phil will start him straight away, I know him."
Jordan licked his lips, then nodded.
"No no, you will be wrong this time."
It is rare for Barkley to agree with Smith, and he feels that he will definitely guess right this time.
Jordan pouted and spread his hands.
After a while, the scene entered the opening ceremony, and the two teams started one after another.
Nuggets: Iverson, JR Smith, James, Martin, Camby.
Lakers: Sun Hao, Hill, Ariza, Walker, O'Neal.
Barkley went straight to the table this time.
Jordan had an expression of "I'm sorry, I'm pretending to be a jerk again".
"You know that handsome people are always right, and ugly people can only lie on the table."
Jordan continued.
Barkley sat up straight with a smothered smile and looked at Jordan.
You are handsome...well, you are rich, you are handsome!
