Super Legendary Superstar

Chapter 349 Challenge cards run out!

Ray Allen made 269 three-pointers in a single season this season, which broke the NBA record and made everyone feel very powerful. However, in Sun Zhuo's view, making 269 three-pointers in a single season is really not worth mentioning. But those who have seen Curry hit 402 three-pointers in a single season!

At this time, Ray Allen is already ranked as the second three-point shooter in history and is the top shooter in the NBA today. At the current rate, in four years, he will become the top shooter in NBA history. But in the hearts of O'Neal and everyone else, he is still incomparable with Reggie Miller, because all of Ray Allen's three-pointers were made in the regular season. The three-pointers made in the regular season, even if it is a buzzer beater, cannot be compared with Three-point shooting ratio in the playoffs.

In the fifth game of the 1994 Eastern Conference Finals, New York's five three-pointers in the fourth quarter were reversed. This is the real three-pointer. In the 1998 Eastern Conference Finals with the Bulls, the three-pointer he shot after pushing away Jordan is called Three-pointers, Ray Allen has yet to shoot a three-pointer of equal weight in the playoffs.

O'Neal's words are half joking and half serious. He still believes that the inside is king. Sun Zhuo likes to let his teammates shoot three-pointers. Is the Magic more powerful with Ray Allen? Not necessarily, but for the Heat, they lost to the Magic this season and the team does need to strengthen their strength. However, Ray Allen and Wade overlap in position. It is not easy for the Heat to get Ray Allen.

When the finals are over, Sun Zhuo will also look for an opportunity to talk to Ray Allen to see if he can prevent the Celtics' Big Three from joining forces in the future.

After two days of short rest, on June 11, the Magic and Lakers ushered in the second game of the Finals.

Although the Magic are currently trailing 0:1, Sun Zhuo is not worried at all about being taken away by the Lakers 2:0. The Magic are at home, and he does not think the Lakers are strong enough to win two games in a row on the road. In addition, Sun Zhuo has two challenges Card is insurance, even if the Lakers win by chance, Sun Zhuo can easily change the result.

Before the game started, Phil Jackson watched Sun Zhuo's training with a deep look. Seeing Sun Zhuo's relaxed look, the Jackson Master called Kobe over: "Kobe."

"Phil." Kobe stepped forward with the ball.

Phil Jackson said: "Kobe, I suspect that the Magic have not yet shown their full strength. Sun should have something to rely on. In this game, you try to force Sun to use his unique skills."

"Try to play 2:0? That's what I originally thought. I don't care about home or away games." Kobe and Zen Master had the same idea. Zen Master felt that Sun Zhuo should have a secret weapon that he hadn't used yet, so he asked Kobe went to scare him and asked Sun Zhuo to show off all his tricks. It would be easier to fight when he returned to the Lakers' home court. Kobe, who originally planned to win two games in a row on the road, would still work hard in this game.

Although Kobe had this idea, overall, the Magic had more morale at the beginning of the game. After all, they were at home and trailing 0:1. Everyone was more focused on offense and defense, and the Lakers were relatively loose. , the Magic led the score, but were not pulled away.

The Lakers still restricted Sun Zhuo very much in this game. Sun Zhuo tried his best to attract double teams and then distribute the ball to the outside for three-pointers. Today's teammates were in good condition. After consecutive shots, the Lakers faced off against the Magic's outside shooters. He also began to be wary, and his defense against Sun Zhuo gradually relaxed. At this time, Sun Zhuo took advantage of the situation to score points. Everything seemed to be under Sun Zhuo's control. However, at the beginning of the second half, no one expected At this time, Kobe suddenly started to show off his power.

Kobe first dribbled under his hips continuously, knocked down Turkoglu one-on-one, and then went to the basket and dunked, causing Howard to foul and hit 2+1. Then, he made consecutive three-pointers to directly tie the score. However, the Lakers' offensive It's still not over. Another terrible player of the Lakers, Lamar Odom, is also excited. His two passes at this time really pushed the Magic into the abyss.

Odom has height, jumping and strength. Except for Howard, no one on the Magic team has an advantage in rebounding, and the two are not matched up. When Odom gets the rebound, he is a very big threat, because Odom is not only tall, but also fast and good at dribbling. You can't keep up or stop him.

After he got the rebound, he didn't need to find a defender, but directly launched a fast break himself. Since Odom himself also has an offensive threat, the Magic had to focus on him defensively. However, Odom is worthy of being a left-handed magician. , both times he moved to the three-point line and suddenly distributed the ball to help his teammates score.

The Magic experienced such a drastic loss of points in a short period of time, and all the young players were a little defeated. Coach Hill specifically called a timeout to encourage them, and Sun Zhuo also asked everyone not to be nervous, but it still didn't help.

"Sun doesn't look too nervous now. Isn't he afraid of falling behind 0:2? What exactly is he relying on?" Phil Jackson glanced at Sun Zhuo again. Based on his understanding of Sun Zhuo, he thought Sun Zhuo was I am not too worried that the Magic will fall into a 0:2 situation. However, the momentum is currently with the Lakers, and it is indeed difficult for the Magic to catch up.

"Kobe, be careful with Sun." Phil Jackson reminded Kobe.

"I will guard him personally." Kobe was exhausted and sweating profusely, but he was still very motivated.

In the decisive stage, Kobe Bryant personally guarded Sun Zhuo. Only Sun Zhuo on the Magic team kept his mentality intact. The attack naturally fell on Sun Zhuo. The Lakers thought that Sun Zhuo would have some unexpected ability. However, Sun Zhuo He didn't do anything so magical, just the same routine as before, looking for opportunities to take shots at the three-point line, otherwise he would just make quick breakthrough throws.

During this period, Sun Zhuo scored 8 points in a row, but still failed to recover the score, and the series became 0:2.

After the Magic lost the second game, the fans at the scene became very depressed.

"The Los Angeles Lakers feel like a bunch of robbers. They have been robbing things arrogantly since they came here. When they played in the Western Conference Finals, I never saw them being so ferocious. Is Kobe crazy if he wants to win the championship? He already has four. Championship! Michael retired once when he won three championships."

"The Magic will not be good next. They were beaten 2:0 by the Lakers at home. According to the 232 format of the Finals, the next three consecutive games will be the Lakers' home games! Looking at this situation, I am afraid that the Magic will go to Los Angeles this time. There’s no going back, alas.”

Losing the first two games of the Finals is actually not terrible. In the previous life, the Miami Heat also lost the first two games of the Finals before winning. However, there is a huge difference between the Magic of today and the Heat of the previous life. The Heat lost The Magic lost two away games, and then played three home games in a row before they could make a comeback. The Magic lost two home games, and will face the challenges of three away games. This is an absolutely dangerous signal!

"Oops, I didn't expect to lose two consecutive games at home to the Lakers. Is it because they beat the Clippers that the Lakers can't tell the difference between home and away? The next three consecutive away games... No, we can't lose this game. I have to challenge again this time.”

Sun Zhuo's game repeat challenge card is usually used in the last few games of the series, but now it has sent out a danger signal. He hopes that the team can play the next three away games with a 1:1 tie.

"I want to challenge this game again!" Sun Zhuo used a game repeat challenge card to reset the game. After using this challenge card, Sun Zhuo only had one left this season.

Once again magically returning to the past, Sun Zhuo thought of the way the Magic fans looked sad and helpless at the current situation of being 0:2 behind. He couldn't help but feel a little proud. One of the great pains in life is to have to face reality. Things have happened, and you just have to face reality. You have to accept it, but Sun Zhuo is different, he can change these bad things.

"I just need to contain Kobe's offensive in the third quarter." Sun Zhuo has repeated the challenge countless times. Whenever he has repeated the challenge, he has never lost, and he is not worried about this one.

Therefore, in the first two quarters, Sun Zhuo played a little more relaxedly and did not pursue the ultimate goal. The point difference at halftime was only a few points more than the previous game. Sun Zhuo believed that the key lies in the third quarter. If Kobe is contained in the third quarter, this game should be won.

In the third quarter, knowing that Kobe was going to show off his power, Sun Zhuo also personally defended Kobe. Kobe had previously knocked down Turkoglu with dribbling under his hips, but he never thought about knocking down Sun Zhuo. Kobe attacked Sun Zhuo, and Sun Zhuo made a kick. A good shot blocked Kobe's shot, but because the two were very close to each other and Kobe tended to be unbalanced in the air, the referee thought Sun Zhuo had committed a foul and whistled Sun Zhuo for a defensive foul!

"What are you doing!" Sun Zhuo was very angry. His defensive ability is not strong at the moment. It is not easy to block Kobe in such a one-on-one defense. He spent a lot of effort, but he didn't expect to call him a foul?

Kobe made two free throws, but Sun Zhuo was unlucky and failed to stop Kobe's first goal of the second half.

However, Sun Zhuo knew that Kobe would shoot a three-pointer from the outside next, and Sun Zhuo would not let him hit two consecutive three-pointers to tie the score like before.

Next, Kobe was really eager to try from outside the three-point line, but in the end, he still chose to take a three-point shot!

"I guessed it!" When Sun Zhuo was on defense, although he was also wary of Kobe's breakthrough, he always focused on his three-point shot. As soon as Kobe shot, Sun Zhuo immediately reached out to block the shot.

This block greatly disturbed Kobe. When Kobe took action, he obviously increased the arc. After Kobe took action, Sun Zhuo was anxious and did hit Kobe's hand this time.

Uh-huh!

Beep!

With such a difficult three-point shot, Kobe was still able to hit it, and he once again caused Sun Zhuo to foul and hit 3+1!

"Holy shit!" Sun Zhuo looked extremely embarrassed. He clearly knew that he was going to shoot a three-pointer, and even though he caused the greatest interference, he still made the shot, and he even got an extra free throw!

Sun Zhuo has never used repeated challenge cards to beat Kobe. If it were an ordinary person, Sun Zhuo knew what the opponent was doing and put more pressure and difficulty on the opponent's defense, making it difficult for the opponent to score.

However, today Sun Zhuo repeatedly challenges Kobe. Kobe is different from ordinary people. Sun Zhuo forces Kobe's offense to become more difficult, but Kobe is good at these more difficult offenses!

"It's not good, it's not good..." Sun Zhuo began to worry. The Lakers were still catching up with the point difference. Next, it was Odom's turn for the Lakers to perform. Be careful of Odom's passing.

Sun Zhuo also tried to grab rebounds from Odom, but his position was not as good as Odom's. Odom still took the rebound and launched a fast break.

"Be careful!" Sun Zhuo pointed at Francis, who was open on the right side of Odom.

However, after Odom had no chance to pass the ball this time, he chose to shoot a three-pointer. Whoops!

"I am Cao!"

At this time, not only the confidence of the rest of the Magic collapsed, but Sun Zhuo's own mentality also exploded. He never expected that he would watch the Lakers show off twice in the third quarter.

Coach Hill called a timeout. Young players like the Magic couldn't bear such a blow. They thought Sun Zhuo had always been calm, but he didn't expect that he looked very flustered now.

At this time before, Sun Zhuo helped Coach Hill give his teammates confidence, but this time, Sun Zhuo sat on the bench and said nothing.

"I finally saw Sun Zhuo's defeated expression. He probably has nothing to rely on." Phil Jackson finally saw Sun Zhuo's lonely expression and no longer worried about Sun Zhuo's secret weapon.

Sun Zhuo tried his best to calm down. After all, even if he failed to stop the Lakers from showing off in the third quarter and even got worse, the game was not over yet and he still had hope of leading the team to win.

In the decisive stage, the Lakers' defense against Sun Zhuo became even more fierce. Sun Zhuo remembered Howard's confident bragging before the series. After being double-teamed, Sun Zhuo sent the ball to him. However, Howard no longer had that kind of attitude at this time. Domineering, originally more talented and smarter than parallel import number one pick Kwame Brown, but this key attack was extremely simple and obvious, and Kwame Brown saw through it in advance and broke it off.

After that, Kobe wanted to attack, but he encountered the same defense as Sun Zhuo. Kobe also gave the ball to Kwame Brown. It was Brown's turn to play Howard, but Brown, who was very experienced, easily used his best hook. , score the ball.

Watching the game once again fall into the Lakers' rhythm, Sun Zhuo closed his eyes helplessly: "Howard and the others are only suitable for playing with the wind. It is impossible to expect them to stand up. I shouldn't have been so merciful in the first two quarters."

Sun Zhuo has never lost in repeated challenges. He is used to winning. This time he challenged again, which gave him a big warning. If he challenges the game again, he will definitely win.

At the moment of crisis, Sun Zhuo took over the game again. This was also an opportunity for him to exercise and grow. He maintained the score again and again until the last ten seconds, and the two sides were still tied.

In the last attack, Kobe faced three people's fadeaway jumpers and hit the buzzer-beater!

The Magic once again trailed the Lakers 0:2!

"No!" Sun Zhuo screamed in pain. After seeing Kobe hit the buzzer-beater, Sun Zhuo squatted on the ground with his head lowered, as frustrated as if he had lost the championship.

Seeing Sun Zhuo in such pain, his teammates and coaches were also surprised. Although he has to face three away games, it is not completely hopeless. Why is Sun Zhuo so unacceptable?

No one knew that what Sun Zhuo couldn't accept was not 0:2, but that after three games, he still couldn't win one!

"Sun, I'm sorry, it's my fault today..." Howard didn't leave either. He stood beside Sun Zhuo and stretched out his hand to comfort him.

Sun Zhuo squatted on the floor with his eyes closed for two minutes, not caring about other people's eyes. Suddenly, Sun Zhuo stood up, clenched his fists, and said with blazing eyes: "Come again!"
