Super Legendary Superstar

Three days ago, Indianapolis, before the Pacers even rushed to Boston.

At Artest's home, Jermaine O'Neal looked at Artest who was packing his luggage and asked: "I said brother, you really don't go to Boston with us, but to watch the Spurs and Lakers series. ?Aren't you afraid of meeting that guy? Facing him, you still have unfulfilled promises."

Artest said angrily: "I went here this time just to see how that kid was abused in the playoffs. Don't mind if I tell my truth. Without me, the team in the playoffs would never have won the championship, and I was suspended." All season long, the culprit has been that guy Sun!"

"Yes, I know, brother, the reason why you beat up that fan at the Palace of Auburn Hills was because that fan used Sun to taunt you. I still remember what he said. He said you couldn't even beat a thin yellow man. How could you beat him?" He had the courage to challenge Ben Wallace and said that when we meet the Lakers, you kiss the donkey’s butt in front of the whole world.” O’Neal recalled what happened that day.

The Auburn Hills Palace incident is also said to have happened, but the reason for it is somewhat different from the previous life, especially when Artest beat the fans. The bigger reason is that the fan used Sun Zhuo to anger Artest, which led to Artest lost control and hit someone.

Therefore, Artest attributed the reason for his suspension to Sun Zhuo. He believed that if Sun Zhuo had not embarrassed him last season, he would not have been angry and hit the fans. Now that the Pacers are playing in the playoffs, he can Came in to help.

"This is all because of the grudge between Sun Yat-sen and I last season. He caused me to have no ball to play for the whole season and caused me to lose 5 million US dollars! I want to see for myself how he failed in the playoffs. He will not do it even once." Fall behind! As for what I promised before, huh, he won't be in the mood to discuss this with me now."

…

San Antonio, AT\u0026T Center.

"Artest is really shameless..." Sun Zhuo was confused by Artest's shamelessness and didn't know what to say. Artest actually refused to admit the previous bet at all, and instead made another bet with Sun Zhuo. , the bet was actually on whether the Lakers would beat the Spurs in the series. Anyone who knows football knows that it would be extremely difficult for the Lakers to beat the Spurs in the series!

"One code equals another. You fulfill your previous promise first, and then I'll bet you on this." Sun Zhuo said.

"Haha, do you think you are talking to a child? Would you dare to bet on me against the Spurs? You know very well that you can't win, right?" Artest said disdainfully.

Sun Zhuo suddenly thought that he had a repeat challenge card this season. Betting on the entire series may not have a chance of winning, but if he only bets on one game, the chance of winning is still very high.

"How about it? Do you dare to bet with me on the outcome of you and the Spurs?" Artest continued to be aggressive.

Sun Zhuo was silent for two seconds and replied: "Okay, but I'll just bet on one game today."

This time it was Artest's turn to be silent. He thought about it carefully. There was almost no suspense about the outcome of the entire series, but it was just one game, so it was hard to say. What if Sun Zhuo and Kobe Bryant competed today? The explosion feels great, but the Spurs are in poor condition?

At this time, Artest couldn't help but look towards the Spurs dugout. There were Spurs players watching the fun near him, but Popovich was some distance away from them, but Popovich was at this time. He nodded at Artest, as if he knew what the problem was in Artest's mind.

"The feud between the Lakers and Spurs is so deep, and Sun has continuously embarrassed Popovich in the NBA Finals and the Olympics. How can the Spurs let the Lakers win!" Artest began to make a decision.

"Okay, let's bet on today's game. If you lose, you are not allowed to mention the things I promised before. Also, you have to kiss the donkey's butt in public. Of course, if the Spurs lose, I am also willing to fulfill my promise. Kiss the donkey's ass." Artest said with a smirk.

Sun Zhuo secretly scolded Artest for being shameless. He made two demands, but with his personality, if he didn't agree, he wouldn't bet on himself.

"Okay, I'll make a bet with you, but if we win, you will not only have to fulfill your previous promise, but you will not be allowed to appear in the remaining series games between us and the Spurs. I don't want to see you." Sun Zhuo Knowing that this series was going to be a disaster, he didn't want to see the ridicule of his enemies.

"No problem." After Artest said that, he sat down with a smile, crossed his legs and kept chatting and even high-fiving the people around him, and told them that there would be a good show to watch later, and these are all Spurs. The fans, of course, support him.

The game started soon, with the Spurs starting Ginobili, Duncan, Nazr Muhammad, Parker, and Irving, and the Lakers starting Sun Zhuo, Kobe, Odom, Atkins, and Chris Mihm.

As the greatest power forward in NBA history, Tim Duncan's presence is simply a nightmare for the Lakers' inside line. Neither Odom nor Mihm can restrain Duncan. Duncan will fully unleash his talent and talent in this series. ability.

Last year, the Lakers had O'Neal sitting under the basket. Duncan could respond offensively, but he could not restrict O'Neal defensively. But this year, facing the inside combination of Odom and Mihm, he can not only get what he wants on offense, but also on defense. Sometimes it can overwhelm the opponent.

Popovich knew that Duncan would cause a lot of trouble to the Lakers, so he was not polite at the beginning of the game and frequently used Duncan to attack the Lakers' basket. Duncan's offense was also unprecedentedly fierce. In the past, he would pass the ball when encountering double teams. The ball, now he occasionally forced a shot, and in the end he not only scored the ball, but also caused a foul on the Lakers.

"Hahaha." Seeing Duncan acting like a ferocious monster, Artest felt reassured.

Not only was Duncan unstoppable, but so was Ginobili, who was playing at a crazy pace from the beginning.

Ginobili caught the ball in the right corner, stabilized it without shooting, moved the ball to the left and seemed to be going to the top of the arc, but his left hand suddenly dribbled behind his back, returning to where he had just caught the ball. position, then dribbles the ball straight to the basket with his right hand, and dunks towards the basket with lightning speed!

The cheers at the scene almost never stopped from the moment the Spurs scored the first goal.

In the first quarter, the Lakers were brutally beaten and fell behind by up to 14 points.

"What a stupid guy. He actually dared to bet on me about the outcome against the Spurs. Is there any suspense? The Spurs will definitely sweep the Lakers 4-0. I will definitely win any game, let alone if it is played at the Spurs' home court. How could Popovich lose the first game of the series?" Artest felt proud and felt that he had won this bet 100%.

After the first quarter, Artest called his friend Mark and asked him to help with something: "Mark, can you ask your brother in San Antonio to do me a favor? I want him to lead the donkey to the Spurs home court. Outside the arena, it doesn't matter how much you spend, just help me get this done."
