Super Legendary Superstar

The study room at Coach Hill's home.

Hill's computer was a little stuck, and the computer screen was always a boot image with the words Windows

"Coach is so fashionable. I thought you usually watch games on TV and on video tapes." Sun Zhuo said with a smile.

Coach Hill smiled and said, "This is specially prepared for you. There is only one game in this computer."

"What kind of competition is it?" Sun Zhuo asked curiously.

Hill said: "In the 1997 NBA Finals, I know your idol is Michael Jordan, so I specially chose a Jordan game. Later in Jordan's career, I mean during the Bulls period, his control of the game was already superb. , we can just watch the game.”

Coach Hill played the finals between the Bulls and Jazz. Sun Zhuo had watched this game before, but at that time he was watching the overall game. This time, regardless of offense and defense, he was only looking at Michael Jordan.

Just after watching the Bulls' second offense, Coach Hill pressed the pause button. In this Bulls offense, he originally wanted to hit Jordan in the low post, but the Jazz's defense was tight, and Jordan did not insist on it. He took the initiative to evacuate to the sideline, allowing the Bulls to Transfer the ball to the other side.

Hill said: "Generally at the beginning of the game, both sides use established tactics. Our start basically revolves around you or you and Dwight Howard. Every time you will appear accurately in the tactical arrangements. position, and then let your teammates pass the ball to you. Even if the opponent blocks it, you will try your best to get stuck with the opponent and insist on getting the ball. But Michael Jordan did not do this. He felt resistance in the low post and immediately Stop asking for the ball and walk to the sideline next to it. A superstar can influence or even control the game even in one important position, because once the ball is in your hands, the entire court becomes tight. If you just start the game and If you don’t want the situation to get tight and you want to play slowly for a few minutes to see how your opponent is doing, in this case you shouldn’t force the ball.”

Sun Zhuo pondered for a moment, and then said: "I feel a little ashamed to say it. I never thought about controlling this before. It turns out that the tightness or looseness of the game has such a big relationship with me. Sometimes I just simply feel that if I can't get the ball, , Will Nelson still fight?"

"Trust in teammates is also very important. This is a psychological process that all superstars will go through. We will talk about this issue later." After Hill finished speaking, he started to continue broadcasting the game.

Within a few minutes, the Bulls had a fast break. Michael Jordan held the ball past half court. There were two defenders in front of him, but he did not force forward or choose not to attack. Instead, he paused briefly before starting again. Breakthrough, the opponent knows that it can't be defended alone, and fouls in advance to stop it.

Coach Hill pressed the pause button and said with a smile: "If it were you, this ball would definitely be a strong attack, right?"

For superstars with super personal abilities, fast breaks are the best time to display their talents and abilities. In such a situation, Sun Zhuo guarantees that both himself, Westbrook and Wade will choose to attack hard.

"Shouldn't it be right?" Sun Zhuo asked.

Hill explained: "It doesn't actually matter how you do it. What matters is whether the game is still under your control after you do it. If you miss this fast break and the opponent grabs the rebound, it will be necessary." Play a quick counterattack and the whole rhythm will pick up. If the game you control is slow, this strong attack will make you lose control of the game. What a superstar wants is not to score, but to control the game. Because you To score two points and lose control of the game is a loss that outweighs the gain."

Sun Zhuo nodded. Throughout the regular season, as the scoring leader, what he has been doing is to seize every scoring opportunity and never miss it once it occurs. Now in the playoffs, he can no longer do whatever he wants.

Sun Zhuo also began to reflect on his mistakes in the second game and took the initiative to take responsibility: "It is really my fault for losing the second game. I was too impatient. Every time I scored, it would bring a lot of excitement and pressure to the Bulls. The fast pace was brought out by me, and their outside shots happened to be very accurate, allowing them to launch a winning counterattack. If I slowly grind them down, I believe they will not be able to counterattack."

Coach Hill also said meaningfully: "Superstars have the ability to control the game, which will be envied by many players, but for you personally, it is also a double-edged sword. Once you lose, it will definitely be related to you. , no matter how well you play, you are still to blame, Sun, don’t blame me for being strict with you, Dwight Howard and others have not grown up yet, all hopes of winning the championship are pinned on you, I can only rely on you."

"I understand." Sun Zhuo nodded.

After that, Coach Hill continued to play the game, during which Jordan and Sun Zhuo talked about how to control the game. However, the Bulls won this game based on their overall performance. After all, the Bulls have the Big Three, Scottie Pippen and Rodman. The credit is not small, and it is still a little different from Sun Zhuo's current Magic team.

Sun Zhuo couldn't help but ask: "Can you tell me when is the time for me to really exert my strength, open up the score, and win the game?"

Although there are many voices saying that Sun Zhuo is a very comprehensive player, especially in terms of scoring, Sun Zhuo does not think so. For Sun Zhuo, the definition of comprehensive is that all abilities must reach S. But now, only Dunks, speed and short-range shots are S-level. Mid-range shots, long-range shots, strength, passing, and defense are all far from S-level.

Under such circumstances, Sun Zhuo wanted to win with one blow and play slowly. It was okay to play against a team as strong as the Bulls, but against strong teams like the Heat and Spurs, the chance of winning was much smaller.

Coach Hill stretched, stood up and said: "It's dawn, it's time for us to eat something. You have learned enough today. The point is that you have realized what you are going to do on the court. You try first." Control the game and you will understand it slowly. By the way, I haven’t asked you how you were last night? Kerry may be awake now. Do you want to call her and have a chat? "

Coach Hill guessed that Sun Zhuo and Kerry had sex last night.

Seeing that Coach Hill wanted to change the topic, Sun Zhuo guessed what the old guy was thinking, so he said directly: "I hope you can tell me everything you know. I will tell the boss and President Williams to let them I will keep you next season and I will be happy to join hands with you again next season."

Sun Zhuo guessed what Hill was thinking. Hill had been worried about losing his job next season, so Sun Zhuo didn't fully teach Sun Zhuo, but had some reservations. Hill had been coaching for many years, and although he was not as accomplished as a Zen master, he still His insight and understanding of the game are also extraordinary. Sun Zhuo's abilities will be better displayed if he can be guided by Hill.

Coach Hill immediately beamed. Sun Zhuo's words would definitely make him stay. Hill returned to his seat and said slowly: "Okay, let me tell you one more thing. If you want to win the game, in fact, You don’t necessarily need to open up the score. Your usual approach is to lead by one point if possible. This is okay in the regular season, but in the playoffs, no matter how many points you are behind, your opponent will definitely have to fight hard to catch up. Yes. I suggest that when you have the energy to spare, control the score difference of the game so that the two sides are equal or only one goal apart. At this time, it is easy for us to maintain this situation, but it may be very difficult for the opponent, and they Our nerves will become tense, worrying that the point difference will widen. The longer this stalemate lasts, the greater the damage we will cause to our opponents when we break through it, and the harder it will be for them to catch up. If you treat me If you have any doubts about what you said today, you can try it out in the next game."

…

After talking with Coach Hill, Sun Zhuo had breakfast at his home, and then met the team. They will fly to Chicago today to prepare for the third game.

There are also three playoff games to be played in the NBA today. In one of them, the Western Spurs once again defeated the Kings and turned the score into 2:0 without any suspense. What is interesting is that after this game, Sun Zhuo received Artest Artest didn't know where he got Emma's phone number, so he called Emma to find Sun Zhuo.

Sun Zhuo answered the phone and asked strangely: "You are also playing in the playoffs, how could you be in the mood to call me?"

During the playoffs last season, Artest went to the Spurs' home court to gloat and watch Sun Zhuo's jokes. Now Sun Zhuo is trailing 0:2 again, but this season, Artest was traded to the Kings. Now the Kings are also behind 0:2. He has no right to make fun of Sun Zhuo.

Artest didn't seem to be frustrated by the loss. He said nonchalantly: "I already knew that we couldn't beat the Spurs. We are bound to lose. The Spurs will be the championship this season. Just watch. By the way, I see you are the first to win." We’re going to lose the first round. In a few days, do we want to have a fight? Do you still remember our agreement?”

"I'm going to fight until June, just wait patiently!" Sun Zhuo hung up the phone directly. He actually thought that Sun Zhuo would stop in the first round?

So what if we lose two games in a row at home! Sun Zhuo decided to prove himself in the third game, not only his personal scoring ability, but also his ability to control the game!

The battle between the Magic and the Bulls will have to wait for another day. During this period, the Cavaliers and the Nets also finished the second game. James got a triple-double and led the team to equalize the game and tied with the Nets 1:1. The Heat and The Wizards scored 2:0. Arenas was powerless against the powerful combination of Wade and O'Neal.

On Kobe's side, the Lakers and Suns also tied, and the Pistons and Mavericks also had the advantage.

After that, it was time for the third game between the Magic and the Bulls.

Chicago Bulls home stadium, United Center.

This is a great arena and a great team, but there is no longer Michael Jordan here, and there is no more shocking opening music like "Sirius" by The Alan Parsons Project. The star who caused the fans to go crazy, but today, Bulls fans are still very excited because they took a 2:0 lead in the playoff series, and they still got it in two away games.

"Sun, surrender, you can't win. We only need to win one more game to get the match point. Stop resisting fearlessly, haha."

"This is the fate of a Magic star. You should have begged the Lakers boss to trade you to Chicago, haha."

As soon as Sun Zhuo entered the arena, there was a lot of ridicule. The key to winning the Magic was to beat Sun Zhuo. They were ready to send all the noise in the room to Sun Zhuo to disturb his mind.

"Come on, I'm optimistic about you." Coach Hill encouraged Sun Zhuo again. In this game, Sun Zhuo would try to control the game and make the entire game under his control, but Sun Zhuo did not do this. experience.

"I don't know if I can really control the game." Sun Zhuo said.

Coach Hill said: "If a superstar cannot control the game, there is only one reason: he is not capable enough. The Bulls will want to take advantage of the victory and beat us 3:0. In this game, they will be more anxious than us."

"I will stabilize them." Sun Zhuo also attaches great importance to this game, because once the score becomes 3:0, there will be no suspense in this series. No team has ever come back from being behind 0:3. , although the Magic have an advantage over the Bulls, the gap between the two is not big.

There was no Heat game today. O'Neal and Wade were also watching this game together in a hotel in Washington.

O'Neal was leaning on the bed, eating, and asked Wade: "Brother, what do you think of Game 3 between the Magic and the Bulls?"

Wade sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the TV screen attentively, and replied: "There must be no suspense in this game. With Sun's personality and the strength of the Magic, he will definitely get back to 2:1. After that, I think Sun will win another game, and once it's a tie, the victory will be tilted towards the Magic again. Shaq, I think our opponent in the second round will be Sun's Magic team."

O'Neal said with a rare gloomy face: "I really don't want to meet him."

Wade smiled and turned to look at O'Neal, "Is it because he has a good relationship with us?"

"Of course not. When it comes to the playoffs, I will treat him as a stranger." O'Neal said seriously.

"Do you think we can't beat him?" Wade asked again.

O'Neal shook his head again, "That's not entirely true. If he is eliminated in the first round this year and does not meet us, then when he meets us next year, we can still easily deal with him. But if we beat him once this year, next year , I’m worried that this guy won’t be able to stop him.”

Wade looked at the screen again as if he didn't understand. The third game between the Magic and the Bulls had already started. On the first goal, the Magic attacked. Sun Zhuo was in the low post, but Sun Zhuo appeared in this position. The Bulls were very nervous and wanted to stop Sun Zhuo. Zhuo caught the ball. In the end, Sun Zhuo did not force it, but walked to one side like Jordan did. The ball moved to the other side, and Turkoglu took the lead in hitting the ball.

"Sun doesn't seem to be in a hurry." Seeing this, Wade said.

O'Neill was also a little surprised.
