Super Legendary Superstar

"He's here too..." Kobe's mood became even more different when he saw O'Neal was also present.

The reason why this finals is attractive is that Kobe and Sun Zhuo were teammates before, and they separated because they could not work together. However, the conflict or hostility between Kobe and Sun Zhuo is actually not that serious. In comparison, , the conflict between Kobe and O'Neal is actually deeper.

Kobe and Sun Zhuo have been together for two years, while Kobe and O'Neal have been together for eight years. The longer the time, the stronger the love and hate. Kobe wants to prove to the world that he can win the championship without O'Neal, and O'Neal appears in Here, I probably just want to see that you, Kobe, can't win the championship without me.

CCTV, Zhang Weiping has also witnessed the establishment and collapse of the Lakers dynasty over the years. Seeing O'Neal sitting in the audience with dignity, he couldn't help but say something more: "I think O'Neal should be very happy, even though he is a player of the Heat. Now he has been eliminated, but he is happy to see Kobe and Sun Zhuo competing for the championship on the court. You see, Kobe and Sun Zhuo all played under me back then and they all had to listen to me. Now these juniors can each lead a team to the finals."

Yu Jia smiled and said: "That's true. Since O'Neal entered the league, he has been partnering with the most talented stars. First it was Penny Hardaway, then Kobe Bryant, then Sun Zhuo also came, and now again Flash Dwyane Wade, none of us deny his greatness, but we have to say that these partners also gave him a lot of help."

Zhang Weiping continued: "You have to say that when you enter the league, you will have the most talented stars as teammates. In fact, it is not just O'Neal. The Lakers now have one, Kwame Brown, the No. 1 pick in 2001, who is the first high school student in NBA history. The No. 1 pick, after joining the Wizards, he partnered with Michael Jordan, and now he partners with Kobe. These are the two top guards in NBA history."

Kwame Brown is the famous "parallel import number one", and Yu Jia knows that Zhang Weiping's words are not a compliment.

The game started soon.

Lakers starting lineup: Francis, Kobe Bryant, Grant Hill, Odom, Kwame Brown.

Magic starting lineup: Nelson, Ariza, Sun Zhuo, Turkoglu and Howard.

The lineups of both sides are relatively young, and the oldest among them are Francis and Kobe, but both of them are completely in their peak competitive state. Sun Zhuo, who has seen Kobe's complete career, even feels that Kobe has not yet reached his peak.

Moreover, except for Kobe and Sun Zhuo, no one else has played in the finals.

It is rare to see such a young team in the finals. Both sides were a little nervous at the beginning.

Francis gave Kobe an alley-oop, and the ball was a little high. Kobe barely got the ball in the air and couldn't send it directly into the basket. Then when Kobe fell, two Magic players immediately surrounded him. Kobe Unable to take a shot at the basket and forced to pass behind the back to Kwame Brown, who was completely left open, this was a must-goal for anyone.

However, Kwame Brown caught the ball with both hands and then took off to attack the basket. Everyone thought it was a dunk, just like O'Neal and Howard usually like to do, but Brown made a layup with both hands, thinking about putting the ball into the basket. It's okay. Laying up saves energy. However, as a two-meter-one big center, his two-handed layup was blocked by the basket, and the ball didn't go in!

"Hahaha." Someone at the scene couldn't help laughing.

Sure enough, he is the parallel import number one pick. He is simply incomparable with O'Neal and Howard, who are also number one picks. Seeing this, Sun Zhuo is also relieved. Although Howard is younger than Kwame Brown, as Howard said, he can completely destroy the Lakers. Insider.

However, when it was the Magic's turn to attack, the Magic didn't play well either. Ariza's pass was directly interrupted.

From the beginning, both teams made some low-level mistakes, and the scene was not as beautiful as everyone imagined.

Because this game between Kobe and Sun Zhuo attracted the attention of many people around the world, many Mavericks and Heat fans also posted on the Internet to vent their anger.

"This is a Finals team? Are the Lakers and Magic here to make fun of you?"

"Then if we can win the championship in this way, I just want to say that my grandma can also play in the finals!"

On the sidelines, the senior head coaches of both teams, Phil Jackson and Hill, were very calm. They didn't care whether the team played as well as the finals team. What they pursued was to defeat their opponents, as long as they could beat their opponents.

But as the most influential basketball players in the world, Kobe and Sun Zhuo could not accept the game being played like this. Sun Zhuo took the initiative and said to Kobe: "Come on, Kobe, it's time to let the game be how everyone imagined."

Kobe smiled. He didn't need Sun Zhuo to tell him, he would do the same, especially since O'Neal was still watching with cold eyes. How could he not perform today?

In Kobe's next attack, he drove to the basket and faced Dwight Howard!

"Hate him, Dwight!" When Sun Zhuo looked at Kobe and Howard, he sometimes still mistakenly thought they were teammates.

boom!

Kobe's backhand layup was pinned to the board by Howard!

Howard's height, leaping and long arms can indeed limit Kobe's ordinary layups. In the previous life, Kobe and Howard also played in the finals. That was in 2009. At that time, Kobe could perform at a divine level. For a layup, Kobe is in better physical condition this year. If he uses a divine layup, I'm afraid Howard won't be able to guard him.

But no matter what, Howard posed a huge threat to Kobe and the entire Lakers' interior offense.

After blocking Kobe's layup, the ball was quickly passed to Sun Zhuo. The excited shouts from the scene also stimulated Sun Zhuo even more. Sun Zhuo ran forward with all his strength, raised his arms and was about to dunk!

boom!

Odom stretched out his left hand to block the shot, and even blocked Sun Zhuo's dunk!

"Oh!" There was an exclamation from the scene.

Kobe's layup was blocked by Howard, and Sun Zhuo's dunk was actually blocked by Odom. Howard and Odom are both excellent defenders with height, length, arms and good jumping. What everyone should have seen is the two of them. Excellent defensive ability, but there are still some black fans on the Internet who are using this to criticize Kobe and Sun Zhuo.

"With this level of strength, why do you still want to play in the finals? Now I say that Kobe and Sun Zhuo were walked by the league. Is everyone okay with that?"

"Why didn't the referee blow the whistle? Let's see who is the godson and who is the real son, hehe."

However, O'Neal said to Wade: "They are all very strong. No wonder they can reach the finals."

Wade also nodded. Howard and Odom are definitely two people who have been seriously ignored by everyone. The average fans only know Kobe and Sun Zhuo and are completely unaware of the importance of Howard and Odom.

"In this series, Dwight Howard and Lamar will also become stars." Phil Jackson secretly said.

Throughout the first half, the game was uneventful. In the second half, Kobe and Sun Zhuo, who both wanted to win the first game, began to lose control.

Kobe Bryant scored six points in a row to help the Lakers establish a lead. In the regular season, Sun Zhuo scored more crazily than Kobe. I thought it would still be the same in the playoffs. Unexpectedly, in the finals, Sun Zhuo completely You can't score like you did in the regular season.

Phil Jackson knows Sun Zhuo too well. As early as when Sun Zhuo played against the Heat, Sun Zhuo's "relying on bugs" became useless. Now, it is even more true. The Jackson master knew how to do it earlier than Pat Riley. To defend Sun Zhuo, he relied on shooting.

On this basis, Phil Jackson restricted Sun Zhuo's position in the bottom corner even more severely. When Sun Zhuo didn't have the ball, the bottom corner became Sun Zhuo's forbidden area. He was not even allowed to stand, forcing him to go somewhere else. Position to catch the ball.

In addition, as Sun Zhuo's three-pointers from other positions have also improved a lot recently, Phil Jackson is particularly wary of Sun Zhuo's three-pointers. He lets him try some mid-range shots and does not allow Sun Zhuo to make breakthroughs and three-pointers. Chance.

The Magic's defense against Kobe was exactly the opposite, allowing Kobe to make breakthroughs or three-pointers, but not allowing Kobe to make mid-range shots.

"My mid-range shooting value is not high now. They are forcing me to use the scoring method that I am least good at." Sun Zhuo was a little depressed. He knew his mid-range shooting ability and did not dare to take shots all the time, so he used defense to attract the ball. However, , only then did he realize how well Phil Jackson and Kobe knew him.

Sun Zhuo made two passes, but both were intercepted by Kobe! And he was directly hit by Kobe and successfully counterattacked!

All of a sudden, the point difference widened.

Yu Jia said with emotion: "Howard played well today, but Sun Zhuo was restricted, and the Lakers know Sun Zhuo too well. Not only do they know how he scores, they can even guess who he passes to."

"After all, Kobe has been teammates with Sun Zhuo for two years, and he can be regarded as watching Sun Zhuo grow up. Looking at it this way, there is still a gap between Sun Zhuo and Kobe. The finals are different from the regular season. In the finals Getting high scores can better demonstrate a person's value." Zhang Weiping commented objectively.

Originally, the Magic still had a chance, but as soon as the Lakers established their lead, Kobe was not proud to relax. Instead, he seemed to have changed. He became more and more fierce as he fought, and began to attack personally again!

30 points, 32 points, 35 points, 37 points!

Kobe Bryant staged another scoring performance in the final stage, directly ending the suspense of the game, which caught Sun Zhuo and the Magic team by surprise.

O'Neal, who was sitting off the court, shook his head: "Kobe was too ruthless, and Sun was still too young. He thought the Lakers would seek stability, but he didn't expect another explosion when they were leading. That's what Kobe is like. If he wants I will definitely give you a chance, I won’t give you a chance.”

Howard scored 30+16 in this game, the highest score for the Magic. Sun Zhuo only scored 16 points and 12 assists. For the Lakers, Kobe Bryant scored 37 points, Odom scored 26 points and 14 rebounds, and Francis also scored 20 points.

The Lakers temporarily lead 1:0.

After winning the game, Kobe was very proud. He took the initiative to go to the audience and said to O'Neal: "After the next game, you are also welcome to go back to Staples to continue watching the game."

Kobe wanted O'Neal to personally witness his first championship without O'Neal. O'Neal was obviously very uncomfortable and did not reply. In the evening, he and Wade came to Sun Zhuo's house and complained to Sun Zhuo like a crazy Magic fan. : "What did you do today? Why did you let Kobe win the game? If Kobe wins the championship, what do you think he will say? I can still win the championship without Shaq. The team was right to choose me instead of Sun Yat-sen. Would you like to hear that?"

O'Neal once satirized Kobe, saying that people who do wrong things tend to feel more guilty. He knew that once Kobe won the championship, he would definitely not be able to spare him, so he would rather see Sun Zhuo win.

Sun Zhuo and Kobe didn't have that much hatred. Instead, they admired each other more. He didn't think it was a big deal when Kobe won a game. He said calmly: "I want to win too. Brother, you are here too. You should have seen it. Before I even passed the ball, Kobe already guessed who I was going to pass to, and Phil Jackson. When I was with the Lakers, he rarely interfered with my personal affairs, but why do I feel like he knows me so well?"

Wade smiled and said: "Maybe he doesn't ask you questions because he knows you well enough. Sun, you look quite relaxed and don't seem to be under any pressure. You are not afraid of being beaten 0:2 by Kobe in the next game." Start?"

"0:2? This is not possible." Sun Zhuo smiled, looking very confident.

"Everything is possible, Sun. You have to be careful. You have seen how ruthless Kobe is. The lead will explode again. Do you think he will be satisfied with a victory in the away game? That's someone else. Not Kobe! How greedy Kobe is, don’t you know after two years of contact with him? I led him to win four championships, and he is still not satisfied." O'Neal kept talking again.

Now Sun Zhuo couldn't help but speak for Kobe: "This is not called greed. After assisting you in so many championships, it's his turn to be the boss. Anyone else would have such selfish motives."

"You have such a good mentality, which is a bit unlike you. Although you have also won a championship, like Kobe, you only won it under my leadership. You should also really want to win the championship. Sun, what will happen to you? Don't you know how to beat them?" O'Neal saw that Sun Zhuo could still maintain such a good mentality after losing, and felt that Sun Zhuo should have a way to win.

Sun Zhuo held two game repeat challenge cards. Of course he didn't care after losing one game. "Yes, three-pointers. If we make the three-pointers more accurate in the next game, the Lakers can't win. The Lakers are just like you, too." There are no three-point shooters."

"Three-pointers? You still want to win the game with three-pointers?" O'Neal scoffed.

Sun Zhuodao: "Three-pointers can definitely dominate the game. Our victory in Game 7 was not due to luck, but to strength and trend. Howard and I will encounter a lot of double-teams, and there will be many open shots from the outside. Why? Not shooting three-pointers?”

"I guess you must really want to be teammates with Ray Allen." Wade smiled. This season, Ray Allen made 269 three-pointers, breaking the NBA historical record.

Hearing this, O'Neal immediately became serious, patted Wade on the shoulder, and said: "Call Pat Riley immediately and ask him to contact Ray Allen to meet. We must never let the Magic get this person. !”
