Super Legendary Superstar

James didn't want to talk trash to Sun Zhuo, and he wasn't good at doing these things, so he said something to make him angry and gain motivation. He wanted to add some motivation to himself. As for affecting Sun Zhuo's mood, this was terrible. It's not an easy task, let's wait until the Cavaliers' home court.

"Which bastard put bananas in the Cavaliers locker room? Are you deliberately trying to frame me?" Sun Zhuo knew that James was not joking, but he didn't expect that when Sun Zhuo and James were in conflict, someone would add fuel to the fire.

However, although James blamed Sun Zhuo on the surface, he actually understood Sun Zhuo in his heart and knew that it was not Sun Zhuo who did this. He was just deliberately looking for motivation for himself.

However, the general trend today was that the Magic should win. James was furious for two minutes, which had no impact on the result of the game. In the end, the Magic were tied 1:1.

At the end of the game, Kobe Bryant, who was far away in Dallas, touched the beard on his chin and briefly analyzed the series between the Magic and the Cavaliers: "When the Magic showed their strongest strength, the Cavaliers were completely vulnerable. LeBron James' ability exceeds that of Sun's, but he is still not equal to Sun. In contrast, Sun is more difficult to guard when he wants to score, and the Magic seem to know how to limit LeBron. LeBron's outside range is far away If you don't have Sun's stability in shooting, you are bound to suffer. In other positions, the Cavaliers are also slightly weak. It seems that Sun has a very high possibility of advancing to the finals..."

If it were a previous life, whether it was for Kobe himself or for the fans, everyone was looking forward to Kobe playing against James in the finals. But in this life, it became Kobe and Sun Zhuo. Sun Zhuo completely replaced James in the previous life. status in the East and across the league.

Kobe and Sun Zhuo were teammates before, and they are currently contenders for the No. 1 player in the league. Sun Zhuo has already won the regular season MVP this season. If Sun Zhuo wins the championship again, I am afraid that the title of No. 1 player in the league will not be awarded to him. Kobe can't compete with Sun Zhuo. Kobe is at his peak now and doesn't want to lose to him.

"Sun is waiting for me, I will work hard to enter the finals!"

The strength of the Magic also gave Kobe a lot of motivation. The next day, the Lakers once again played against the Mavericks away from home. Sun Zhuo also watched this game. In his previous life, the Mavericks this year were killed by Wade, and in the hearts of most fans, Kobe is even more awesome than Wade. When Kobe faced the Mavericks, he scored 62 points in three quarters. Sun Zhuo wanted to know if Kobe could overturn the Mavericks on his own.

Kobe Bryant did not disappoint Sun Zhuo in this game. Like Wade in his previous life, Kobe carried the burden on himself, but his scoring method was different from Wade's. Wade used the "Wade Throw" style more often. On offense, he kept making layups and drawing fouls, and Kobe also had many 2+1s, but almost no one could make Kobe fall down, and Kobe himself was not willing to fall. Especially, Kobe made fadeaway jumpers again and again, all of which Accurate hits, even in the end when faced with double teams from two people!

"Kobe is so strong!" When Sun Zhuo was watching the game, he forgot that he was already the same player as Kobe in the league, and thought he was the same fan back then.

In the end, with Kobe's superb performance, the Lakers evened the score 1:1.

"Whether it's Nowitzki or Kobe in the end, I'm going to enter this year's finals! I'm going to meet you, and I'm going to beat you!" Sun Zhuo likes the showdown between the Lakers and the Mavericks. These two opponents He likes them all, no matter which one he meets. He can't wait to enter the finals, but before that, he must solve James. James will not be able to compete for the championship before forming a team. Sun Zhuo predicts James They won't be able to stay together for long, so he must cherish the opportunity now.

May 28, Cleveland Cavaliers home game.

Game 3 of the Cavaliers-Magic series.

As soon as Sun Zhuo came on the stage, the audience booed!

In the previous two games at the Magic's home court, both James and Big Z were bullied by Sun Zhuo. Cavaliers fans saw this and wished they could drive from Cleveland to Orlando to cheer for James. Now it's Sun Zhuo's turn to play away. Coupled with the previous grievances, Cavaliers fans have no reason to be friendly to Sun Zhuo no matter what.

"The boos were so loud..." Sun Zhuo was mentally prepared for it, but when he got to the scene and really felt it, he was shocked.

Howard was cheerful. As early as the regular season when he followed Sun Zhuo to play the Cavaliers away from home, Howard experienced the hatred of Cavaliers fans towards Sun Zhuo. He didn't expect that the playoffs would be even more terrifying, haha.

"I think your free throw shooting percentage today should be about the same as mine." Howard joked to Sun Zhuo.

Sun Zhuo smiled and said: "For me, booing will only increase my hit rate."

Sun Zhuo is not bragging. Many players will be affected by the fans at the scene. Sun Zhuo is not. He can force himself to be calm in the midst of thousands of noises. This is a kind of practice. He doesn't know how he trained it. .

The game will start soon. These two games in Cleveland will determine the direction of this series. Everyone is optimistic about the Magic. If the Magic can win in the Cavaliers, basically the series will go as everyone expects. Therefore, in These two games at home are also a huge challenge for the Cavaliers. They must try to defend these two games.

From the beginning, the Cavaliers used their strongest defense against Sun Zhuo.

Sun Zhuo's first fast break was double-teamed by three people. James stood under the basket early and waited for Sun Zhuo to come over. Sun Zhuo did not slow down at all. He also saw James. Sun Zhuo was preparing to make a European layup to deceive James into committing a foul. , Unexpectedly, James, who was standing under the basket, made the first move and took the initiative to push Sun Zhuo forward, his hands still hanging down in a blocking posture.

Sun Zhuo did not expect that the physical collision with James would occur so early. In addition, it was James who took the initiative. Sun Zhuo completely lost his balance for a while, and both he and James fell to the ground.

"good!"

Seeing such a fierce collision between Sun Zhuo and James at the beginning, everyone shouted with excitement, regardless of who committed the foul or whether the two were injured. They liked to see James respond to Sun Zhuo so toughly. Before, in Magic At home, Sun Zhuo hit James in the face with the ball. This time, James just hit Sun Zhuo, which made people feel that it was not enough.

The referee whistled for a foul on James, but Sun Zhuo did not get up immediately because he found that his ankle was a little painful.

"Damn it." Sun Zhuo and the Magic players and coaches were very worried, fearing that Sun Zhuo would be injured, but fortunately, Sun Zhuo adjusted on the spot and it was no big deal.

But this false alarm put some psychological pressure on Sun Zhuo and the Magic team.

Mike Brown smiled and said secretly: "Sun, do you still remember how you left the playoffs last season? Yes, that's right, it was because of injury. Think of it quickly, we will not hurt you intentionally, but We will always maintain a strong defensive attitude like this. I don’t believe that you have no psychological burden at all. Once you have some scruples in offense, we will have a chance to win.”

"I have to be careful not to get hurt." Sun Zhuo was indeed a lot more cautious, but he was not as scared as Mike Brown thought. After all, he still had two game repeat challenge cards in his hand. Even if he was injured, he could change.

After playing for another two minutes, Sun Zhuo felt it. The Cavaliers' defense against him had indeed become much tougher.

"It seems that the Cavaliers really intend to completely restrict me today. However, I'm afraid you don't know that today, and in the next few games, the protagonist is not me, but Dwight Howard. Although it may seem a bit arrogant to say this, you It’s just for upgrading Howard.”

Sun Zhuo was not worried at all about losing to James' Cavaliers. The Magic itself was stronger than the Cavaliers. Sun Zhuo had two repeat challenge cards in his hand. If the Cavaliers wanted to beat the Magic in six out of nine games, There is little enthusiasm, so Sun Zhuo has already been preparing for the finals.

Sun Zhuo has played in the playoffs for three years and already has some experience. In just a few games, Sun Zhuo cannot gain much, but for Howard, who is participating in the playoffs for the first time, these few games , but it is of great significance. Sun Zhuo plans to give Howard a good experience in the series with the Cavaliers, create more opportunities for him, and build his confidence.

Now that Sun Zhuo is so closely watched by the Cavaliers, Sun Zhuo can break through the basket and allow Howard to score more easily.

Attacking again, Sun Zhuo made a strong drive to the basket, preparing to score points. In order to let Big Z take off, Sun Zhuo did make a layup.

"This ball can't be scored!" Big Z stretched out his hand and failed to block the shot, because Sun Zhuo deliberately raised the arc in order to avoid Big Z's block. In this case, the shot would most likely miss.

However, the Cavaliers were all deceived by Sun Zhuo. Sun Zhuo's layup was actually just a cover. He didn't want to score. What he wanted to do was let Howard score.

The basketball bounced out of the frame, but as soon as it popped out, someone pushed it back instantly!

I saw Howard leaping up from the basket, grabbing the rebound with one hand, and dunking directly into the frame!

Everyone on the scene was shocked by Howard's domineering follow-up dunk. This guy is really talented!

"It's really troublesome to have a guy under the Magic basket who can jump and dunk like that." James was also very depressed. Howard was so talented. An ordinary person might have to grab the rebound first and then take off to score after landing. But Howard doesn't have to be so troublesome. He can do these things in the air and only uses one hand.

Howard's skills are not good enough and he lacks experience. It is most comfortable for him to do things like dunking the ball as soon as he gets the ball. If the Magic don't have Sun Zhuo who can attract defensive players, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Howard to get such a Easy chance, but Howard is lucky to have the league's MVP next to him.

Not long after, Sun Zhuo attacked the basket again. This time, instead of attacking the basket, he threw the ball directly to Howard under the basket. The ball went over Big Z's head and flew to Howard. Howard stretched out his long arm and hit the ball again. He gets the ball with one hand and hits the frame directly!

"Dwight Howard's physical talent is so strong, he can jump so high! Even Big Z couldn't intercept this pass."

"Howard reacts too quickly. If you want to prevent him from catching the ball like this, I'm afraid you have to let LeBron James guard him, but LeBron is too short."

Everyone gradually realized how terrifying Howard's long arms and bounce were, and his and Sun Zhuo's performances had only just begun.

Sun Zhuo adopted the strategy of "one attack is launched earlier than the other." The first time he passed to Howard was after he took the shot, and the second time was after he jumped up. This time, after Sun Zhuo dribbled the ball to attract the defense, he directly hit the ground and passed to Howard. After Howard caught the ball, he turned his back and passed Big Z, directly filling the frame with both hands. The Cavaliers wanted to cover up, but it was too late. Howard was too fast. By the time the Cavaliers players followed, Howard was already in the most advantageous position, and no one dared. Reach out, it's 2+1, and you might even get dunked.

"Is Dwight Howard so strong? Why didn't he feel it in the last game?"

Sun Zhuo's presence or absence on the court has a great impact on Howard's scoring method. When Sun Zhuo is not on the court, Howard can only rely on inside singles and may be double-teamed. When Sun Zhuo is on the court, he He is the guy who attracts double teams, and once the ball is in Howard's hands, he can go straight to the basket.

The cooperation between Sun Zhuo and Howard has also completely liberated other shooters. Once Sun Zhuo and Howard appear together, especially when they are close to the basket at the same time, all the Cavaliers' defensive players are piled up under the basket, and the outside line is completely empty. Zhuo can easily distribute the ball to Turkoglu and the others, allowing them to complete the three-point shot.

In the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers had already defeated the Magic.

"Sun controlled the rhythm of this game very well. The pass to Dwight Howard was from near to far, allowing Dwight to easily score every time. When the two of them threatened the opponent at the same time, they scored again. Open up the score for the shooters, and the Cavaliers can't catch up this time." Coach Hill was very happy, they won another game.

James really didn't want to lose this home game, but he was also very powerless at this moment. The Cavaliers began to lose control of the game when Howard continued to score, and then they were led away by the Magic. Turkoglu was still amazing on the outside. That's right, when the Magic also opened up their three-point shooting from the outside, let alone the Cavaliers, the Heat couldn't reverse it.

As a result, the Magic led the Cavaliers 2:1.

The Magic gave the Cavaliers two days to deal with it, but in the fourth game of the series two days later, the cooperation of Sun Zhuo and Howard was still unsolvable for the Cavaliers. This game just changed the method and became Howard passed the ball to Sun Zhuo, who was flying around the court everywhere.

The Magic won two games in a row at the Cavaliers' home court, turning the series score into 3:1. If they win one more game, the Magic will advance!

After four games, no one expected that the Magic could play so easily. If Sun Zhuo hadn't been ill in the first game and didn't play well, perhaps the Magic would have advanced now that the Cavaliers had been swept!

The fourth game of the series between the Lakers and the Mavericks was about to begin. The Mavericks were originally leading 2:1, but seeing that Sun Zhuo was about to advance to the finals, Kobe broke out again and evened the score!
