Super Legendary Superstar

"Oh, what a savior, Wonderful Jesus."

"Oh, what a savior, Wonderful Jesus."

"Oh, what a savior, Wonderful Jesus."

"..."

It was just after twelve o'clock in the morning, and it was already 2005. Everyone at the party was excited about the arrival of the New Year. At the invitation of the hostess Vanessa, Sun Zhuo played the piano in the living room and sang this song. In "Blessed Assurance", Vanessa is a Catholic believer. Along with the music and singing, she also began to pray sincerely.

The intoxicated Scottie Pippen suddenly woke up during the countdown. At this moment, as everyone was singing, he still felt melancholy in his heart. It was not about Sun Zhuo, but about his jersey retirement.

"It's 2005. It's been seven years since I left the Bulls. Michael's No. 23 jersey was retired in 1993. How long do I have to wait?"

Pippen closed his eyes silently and began to pray about this matter.

After playing this song, Sun Zhuo walked outside and looked at the gorgeous fireworks flashing in the night sky, and couldn't help but sigh.

"This is the second year after rebirth. In 2005, Nash will win the regular season MVP, the Spurs will win the championship, Tim Duncan will be the Finals MVP, and Iverson will score 60 points in a single game and win the championship. The fourth scoring champion, after this season, in the second half of the year, Chris Paul and Bynum will also come to the NBA."

Unlike other NBA players, Sun Zhuo is very clear about what is going to happen next in the NBA. Just like the Tracy McGrady moment that was staged at the Toyota Center in Houston not long ago, the Lakers also had a game that day, so Sun Zhuo couldn't go there to witness the miracle, but their game ended After that, Sun Zhuo immediately called Kobe to watch the game together. Kobe was surprised, but Sun Zhuo didn't react so much. He had watched McGrady moments many times.

At this moment, Sun Zhuo felt a little powerless, because Sun Zhuo was unable to compete for the honors that Nash, the Spurs, and Iverson would receive next, and he could only watch everything play out like in his previous life.

"Maybe I can only change some small things, such as letting the Lakers enter the playoffs, and then try to last longer in the playoffs..."

"You play the piano very well. How long have you been practicing?"

Sun Zhuo was thinking about these things when suddenly, Pippen's wife Larsa appeared behind him.

Sun Zhuo was a little surprised when he saw Larsa and replied: "It's just an amateur level. It's not really difficult. It's just a few repetitions of chords. If you want to learn it, you can learn it very quickly."

"Really? Then you teach me. If I still can't learn it in a year and a half, you will be punished." Larsa ruffled her hair and looked more charming.

Sun Zhuo smiled and didn't know how to respond. At this time, Scottie Pippen also walked out. The New Year's party was over and they were about to leave.

"Bye, nice to meet you." Larsa stretched out her hand to say goodbye to Sun Zhuo, with a smile that captivated all living beings.

"Bye." Sun Zhuo also waved his hand, but did not understand the alternative meaning hidden in her smile. He said with emotion in his heart: "She really looks like Guan Zhilin! Why didn't I think of this name before?"

…

On January 2, 2005, the Lakers' first opponent in the new year was Melo's Nuggets.

Among the 2003 rookies in the same class, Sun Zhuo is already an All-Star and has won the All-Star MVP and championship trophies. He also scored 51 points in a single game. LeBron James currently leads the league in scoring average even above Allen Iverson. His rebounds and assists are also terrifying, and he is known as one of the most versatile players in the NBA.

And Dwyane Wade, under the boast of Sun Zhuo, the "biggest Weibo in the league", and O'Neal's eastward trip to Miami, also attracted more people's attention, and his name of "Flashman" gradually spread around the league. Now, O'Neal and O'Neal are leading the team to the first place in the Eastern Conference, and they will launch an attack on the championship this year.

It seems that in the 2003 class, only Carmelo Anthony is unknown this season. His personal data is no different from last season. It is not like James' sudden improvement. The team's record is not good. He will fall behind Sun Zhuo, James and Wei from now on. Is it virtuous?

But in fact, it's not.

Although Anthony's personal data and team record are not eye-catching, there is one thing that makes him better than others, and because of this, he is called by the media as the person most like Michael Jordan in the 2003 class.

By 2005, the current media is still diligently looking for "Jordan's successor."

This is the key goal.

As early as last season, Carmelo Anthony contributed several quasi-wins and sure-wins. This season, against the Celtics, Rockets, and even the Suns, who are leading the Western Conference, the Nuggets always scored in the last two or three seconds. Defeat the opponent in a matter of seconds!

As we all know, Jordan is very capable at critical moments (within 5 points in the last 5 minutes), with a terrifying 62.4% shooting rate and 78.3 points every 48 minutes!

What concept is this?

If Jordan plays 40 minutes per game, and if the whole game is scored at critical moments with such efficiency, then his scoring average will be more than 65 points per game!

After Jordan, the key man in the league became Kobe. Kobe has ranked first in the league in this data for many years, but his highest 48 minutes is 56.7, which is 20+ worse than Jordan. Others like LeBron James and Stephen Curry Lee, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden also won the "Mr. Most Critical Moment" award for a season, but their data were far from Jordan's.

Therefore, it is a great honor for Anthony to be named "Jordan's successor" on key goals.

The most important thing is that Anthony's ability has been recognized by Jordan himself! Just in the past two days, Jordan said that Anthony was the most like him in the 2003 class.

Frankly speaking, Sun Zhuo was a little disgusted when he heard Mr. Qiao's words.

In terms of key ball ability, since Sun Zhuo resumed relying on playing bugs, are there any opponents in the league? As long as Sun Zhuo relies on hitting to succeed, he can definitely make the shot!

When he met Anthony this time, Sun Zhuo was a little jealous of him.

"LeBron is so stupid. He actually provoked Sun before he used up his hidden ability. He was too anxious. I didn't practice any double-turn dunks, and I wouldn't go out of my way to provoke him. My duel with him, In a few years." Anthony knows that Sun Zhuo is one of his biggest opponents in the future, but he doesn't feel much when he sees Sun Zhuo now. He firmly believes that he will fight for many years, but Sun Zhuo may not.

Sure enough, after the game started, Anthony played quite well. He didn't score too many points, and he didn't try to prove anything with a strong dunk.

However, during the last attack of the first quarter, Anthony was sent back on the field to perform the final attack. In the last 2 seconds, Anthony made a step-back jumper and hit the goal at the buzzer.

"Carmelo Anthony is really big-hearted, and his key shots are so stable!"

"He is already the player with the most kills this season, right? No wonder he is called Jordan's successor. Even Jordan himself said that Anthony is very similar to Jordan."

"We also have key players in the Lakers. Kobe always likes to save the team at critical moments, doesn't he? Sun's key ball ability seems to be good. I wonder who is better, him or Carmelo Anthony?"
