With 11 wins and 3 losses, the Sonics firmly occupy the top spot in the record list.

However, the next step will be a crucial battle.

On the last day of November, the SuperSonics will play at home against the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Lakers, with Shaquille O'Neal, are definitely the hottest team in the NBA right now.

In the past few years, the Lakers have been a regular in the playoffs and are just a hair away from the championship.

However, last season, with the rise of Kobe Bryant, they were already strong contenders for the championship.

Others don't know it, but Wang Hao knows it very well. An OK combination that tends to be perfect is an absolute king.

Not only are they strong contenders for the championship, but they will also join forces to create the last three consecutive championships.

Now that Wang Hao appears in the NBA, I don't know if he has a chance to break the Lakers' three consecutive championships.

Okay, this is a bit far-fetched.

Today, the Lakers' record is 10 wins and 4 losses, just behind the SuperSonics.

In other words, as long as the Sonics can defeat the Lakers, they will effectively consolidate their top spot.

Not only that, defeating the powerful Lakers can also make those media shut up.

As long as they defeat the Lakers, no one can say that the Sonics are just lucky rather than having the strength.

Do the Sonics have the strength to defeat the Lakers?

To be honest, there is indeed a gap in strength on the surface, but there is also good news.

Kobe Bryant was injured before the new season and has not returned yet, which means the Lakers lack the main force.

Although Kobe Bryant is still young today, he is already an All-Star.

His absence is indeed a good thing for the Sonics.

However, without Kobe, O'Neal can still lead the team to a record of 10 wins and 4 losses, which shows the strength of the team.

It will not be easy for the Sonics to win this game.

The game hasn't even started yet, but the party has started first.

The day before the game, Gary Payton held a party at his home and invited everyone from the team to go.

Not only SuperSonics players, but also the Lakers were also invited.

Especially Shaquille O'Neal, who has a good relationship with Payton, and the purpose of this gathering is also to welcome O'Neal to Seattle.

"Hi, Shaq!"

"Wang, I know you, your performance this year is wonderful. However, you have to be careful tomorrow, we won't let you score easily."

"Really? That's not possible!"

…

O'Neal's character couldn't sit still at all. After saying a few words, he was busy dancing on the dance floor.

Although Wang Hao has been in the United States for more than a year and can barely adapt to such an atmosphere, he cannot integrate into it.

Besides him, there were also some players chatting, so he simply joined in.

Seeing how O'Neal didn't seem bothered at all, I guess the OK group hasn't had any conflicts yet.

That's right, O'Neal is now at the peak of his powers, but Kobe is still young, so there is no need for contradiction.

There was a game the next day, and the party didn't last long. No one wanted to be scolded by the head coach tomorrow.

“The showdown at the top of the Western Conference!”

Early the next morning, ESPN TV station had prepared the title early, as well as the live broadcast of the game across the United States.

Lakers games are the ones that attract the most attention from fans. Everyone wants to see the big shark wreaking havoc on the basket.

What's more, today also involves a battle for the top spot.

In order to prepare for this program, major TV stations have made preparations early, including pre-game predictions, lineup comparisons, and various game highlights.

"So, for today's game, who is Director Xu more optimistic about?"

Not only North America, but also CCTV has made a lot of preparations for today's game.

That's right, today's host and game commentator were replaced by Sun Zhengping and Xu Jicheng.

As for Zhang Weiping, he has already brought the CCTV reporter team to Seattle on the other side of the ocean.

"On the surface, the Lakers are definitely stronger. The first thing is how to defend O'Neal?

If O'Neal cannot be restrained, the game will be particularly difficult for the Sonics."

Sun Zhengping also chimed in: "It's not easy to guard O'Neal!"

"Yes, this is not just the trouble of the Sonics, but the trouble of the entire other 28 teams in the NBA."

…

Not just on TV, there are also some discussions in reality.

"I have watched the Lakers' game. O'Neal is really good. He is so big and cannot be guarded at all."

"So what? The Sonics can't guard O'Neal, but the Lakers can guard Wang Hao and Payton?"

"There's nothing to say, so who do you think the Lakers are? Anyway, I just support Brother Hao to kill the Lakers!"

…

In some school cafeterias and canteens, many students have gathered, eagerly awaiting the start of the competition.

The NBA has not yet fully spread to China, especially those teams.

Nowadays, the purpose of everyone watching the game is very simple, that is to support the only Chinese Wang Hao.

If these words were said a few years later, especially after Kobe became completely famous, someone would definitely stand up to refute them.

"Look, Brother Hao is out!"

At this time, on CCTV, Wang Hao's figure had appeared in front of the camera, along with Zhang Lili.

"Xiao Wang, come on, let's say hello to everyone first!"

Wang Hao smiled, waved his hand and said: "Hello, fellow Chinese fans, I am Wang Hao.

Thank you very much for your continued support to me. I will also work hard to play and give everyone a wonderful game."

Speaking of which, Wang Hao is not much older than these students. After hearing Wang Hao's words, everyone was quite satisfied.

At least it means that the idols you support know what you have done.

In the cafeteria and around the canteen, if you see a group of boys gathering together, naturally some girls will be curious.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Watching the game, does Wang Hao know about the NBA game? He is from China and is now playing in the NBA."

"NBA? Basketball?"

After hearing this, many girls expressed no interest.

What's the point of having a dozen men fighting for a ball on a hot day, covered in stinky sweat?

It was at this time that Wang Hao's figure appeared on the TV, and the steps that were about to leave immediately stopped.

"Is this Wang Hao?"

"Yes, Brother Hao is amazing. He is now the starter for the SuperSonics. Now he is averaging..."

The girl next to me happens to be in their class. Although there is no such thing as the class beauty, she is indeed the most beautiful in their class.

In the past, how could there be such an opportunity to speak?

The boy kept talking, as if he wanted to show off his knowledge and attract the girl's attention.

Who would have thought that this girl was staring at Wang Hao with her eyes wide open, not listening to what the boy was saying?

"So handsome! Even more handsome than Andy Lau!"

At this time, the boy seemed to hear the sound of his own heart breaking. Looking at Wang Hao on TV, he felt mixed emotions in his heart.
