Super Legendary Superstar

October 30, Los Angeles Lakers training facility.

In two days, the new regular season will begin. All members of the Lakers are nervously preparing for the new season. In the past few seasons, the Lakers have always been in a state of change. After O'Neal left, Sun Zhuo also left. Now , the Lakers are finally completely Kobe's team, and the Lakers also welcome Phil Jackson again.

When Phil Jackson returned home from traveling, he communicated with many teams with vacant head coaching positions, including the New York Knicks, Sacramento Kings, and Cleveland Cavaliers, but no job attracted him as much as rebuilding the Lakers. But coming to the Lakers , the first thing he has to resolve is the relationship with Kobe.

After leaving the Lakers last year, Phil Jackson released "The Final Season". The book contained many remarks against Kobe. He didn't know how Kobe would feel after reading it. Before returning to the Lakers, Phil called Kobe. , Kobe did not have any resistance to the Zen Master. The only request he made was that the Zen Master should be more cautious when facing the media and not reveal his privacy to reporters.

"Both Kobe and I are very clear that if we want to succeed, we need each other's support and cooperation. Kobe said yesterday that as long as he is here, the team's winning rate will not drop below 50%. Maybe he can do it, but , If Sun is still there, why do we need to worry about this? We can hit the championship this season."

Phil Jackson once again stood at the Lakers training ground, but he felt that things had changed. O'Neal was gone, and Sun Zhuo was also gone. Both of them were players that Phil liked very much.

"Everyone, long time no see." Suddenly, a man's voice made the noisy scene instantly quiet.

This voice is too familiar to most Lakers players and Phil Jackson!

"Sun!" Vujacic was the first to call Sun Zhuo's name. He put down the basketball excitedly, ran over quickly, and asked happily: "Why are you here? Why are you back?"

Odom, Francis and others were also shocked. They all didn't understand why Sun Zhuo returned to the Lakers when the regular season was about to begin.

"Sun..." Phil Jackson was also very surprised when he looked at Sun Zhuo who kept walking towards him.

"I'm happy to see you again in the Lakers. I said a long time ago that you would come back. Unfortunately, I am no longer a Laker player. Otherwise, we can win another championship together." Sun Zhuo smiled and told Phil. Jackson shook hands.

"Are you here to see me?" Phil Jackson asked.

"No, Phil, he's here for me." Kobe, who had never greeted Sun Zhuo, slowly spoke at this time.

Everyone was surprised again. Why did Sun Zhuo come to Kobe? Who doesn't know that Sun Zhuo left the Lakers because of Kobe?

Kobe said to his teammates: "It's getting late. Let's finish training early today. It may take a long time for Sun and I to occupy the venue here."

It was only then that everyone suddenly realized that Sun Zhuo came to the Lakers to challenge Kobe!

Players who have been with the Lakers in the past two years know that Kobe always wants to challenge Sun Zhuo, but Sun Zhuo has never agreed to Kobe's challenge.

"I didn't expect that after Sun left the Lakers, he agreed to play one-on-one with Kobe. I really want to see the duel between these two people. It must be exciting!" Vujacic sighed, and others felt the same, Kobe and Sun Zhuo They are both master scorers who can score 60 points in a single game. The duel must be like Mars hitting the earth. Unfortunately, Kobe will not let others watch.

Phil Jackson understands Kobe's approach very well. Kobe and Sun Zhuo are both the top stars in the league. The results of winning or losing should not be known to too many people.

"Let's go. Today's training is over." After Phil Jackson spoke, everyone left the venue one after another even though they were reluctant.

Soon, only Kobe and Sun Zhuo were left at the scene.

Kobe is very happy. He has always been a one-on-one enthusiast. He went one-on-one with NBA players before entering the NBA. He likes to challenge powerful opponents. Ever since Sun Zhuo showed his talent in basketball, Sun Zhuo has always been The opponent that Kobe wanted to challenge most, but Sun Zhuo has been reluctant to accept the challenge in the past two years. Kobe has been waiting for this day for a long time.

Kobe looked at Sun Zhuo and said happily: "I have finally waited for this day. You should know how long I have been waiting. Before this, we had a three-point shooting competition. On the surface, I won that time, but now I Already know the truth, you deliberately let me, after I left, you shot 9 out of 10 from the corner, and you won that PK."

"Did Derek Fisher tell you that? Don't worry, I won't hold anything back in today's one-on-one battle. I will beat you."

Kobe smiled and said: "Maybe I can't beat you in the three-pointer from the corner, but in terms of one-on-one, personal offensive and defensive abilities, you can't beat me."

"Tell me the rules of the competition." Sun Zhuo couldn't wait.

"Ten balls a game."

"How many games are there?"

"Compete until one party admits defeat."

Sun Zhuo couldn't help but let out a long breath. Today's duel would probably be a protracted battle. Kobe not only wanted to beat Sun Zhuo, but also wanted Sun Zhuo to admit that he was inferior to him.

"Do you want to increase your bet? If you lose, you can make a request to me. If I lose, you can also ask me." Sun Zhuo said.

Kobe said indifferently: "Okay, but there's nothing I want you to do. I just hope you don't blame me like Shaq. Is there anything you want me to do?"

Sun Zhuo nodded. He had already thought about the bet for this duel. Sun Zhuo said: "If you lose, you can wear the No. 24 jersey in the future."

"You want me to wear your jersey number? That's impossible." Kobe laughed. In his opinion, Sun Zhuo's request was a bit humiliating. However, in Sun Zhuo's eyes, No. 24 belonged to Kobe. The jersey number, after Sun Zhuo left, the jersey was returned to its original owner.

Soon, the first game between Kobe and Sun Zhuo began.

This year, Kobe can be said to be in the best period of personal competition, especially in terms of personal offense. He is simply invincible. He has super jumping, airborne speed, and strong physical confrontation. In terms of personal skills, he has also reached his peak. He can score in any way from long range shots, mid-range shots, layups and dunks. One-on-one, no one can guard him, so he can score 62 points in three quarters, a record of 62 points in a single game. Scored 81 points.

As for Sun Zhuo, he is also one level shy of full level, and his attributes have reached the top level of a self-created character. In terms of dunks, close shots, rebounds, and blocks, Sun Zhuo is not weaker than Kobe in the slightest. Perhaps in terms of speed and shooting , layups and other aspects as well as technology, are still somewhat inferior, but don't forget, Sun Zhuo has bugs that can be exploited.

Moreover, this BUG can be used unlimited times during informal games without worrying about being detected and fixed by the system. In other words, if Sun Zhuo wants, he can keep beating Kobe until his confidence collapses.

In the first game, Kobe completely entered the Black Mamba state from the moment he got the ball. He had been waiting for this day for too long. He wanted to prove that he was better than Sun Zhuo. Kobe continued to use speed and footsteps to break through Sun Zhuo. Zhuo's defense is either a direct dunk or a pull-up jump shot, and the hit rate is 100%. When he is full of physical fitness and in excellent condition, Kobe's offensive methods are incomprehensible and he can't defend him no matter what.

But in the second game, it was Sun Zhuo's turn to show off his power.

Sun Zhuo's speed was not enough to easily break through Kobe's defense. In order to equalize the game as soon as possible, he still used the method of relying on hitting, and then saw how Kobe defended. If Kobe was willing to let Sun Zhuo rely on hitting to shoot, Sun Zhuo would directly Take a shot and hit the shot. If Kobe doesn't give Sun Zhuo a chance to shoot, Sun Zhuo will take the opportunity to quickly break through the defense and score at the basket.

After two years of training, Sun Zhuo's personal offensive skills have become increasingly mature, and he won the second game without any suspense.

The two sides fought to a draw.

In this competition, Kobe wanted to have a good time, so there was no talk of winning two out of three games. Everyone stayed focused. Kobe narrowly won in the third game, and Sun Zhuo immediately came back in the fourth game.

…

Half an hour later, Vujacic was standing outside the arena when Phil Jackson passed by and asked, "Why are you still here?"

Vujacic said: "I want to wait for Sun and Kobe to finish the competition and meet them. Coach, aren't you curious who will win?"

Phil Jackson shook his head and said with a smile: "This is not important to a coach. Both of them are already top one-on-one masters, and the gap will not be big. On the competition field, the two of them can compete one-on-one." The result will not have any impact on the entire game. The Lakers will not win just because Kobe beats Sun."

Vujacic nodded: "But I still want to know the result. Their competition should be over soon. Why don't we wait for a while together."

Phil Jackson hesitated for a moment and nodded. He also wanted to chat more with Sun Zhuo.

…

"11:11, we are tied again." In the arena, Sun Zhuo said breathlessly to Kobe. After playing 22 consecutive games, he was exhausted.

"Nonsense, I obviously won 12 games!" Kobe responded breathlessly. Like Sun Zhuo, he was also exhausted, but it could be seen from his determined eyes that he could continue to play 12 more games.

Sun Zhuo didn't want to argue with Kobe: "Okay, even if you win 12 games, I will equalize now."

"Damn it..." Kobe could no longer refute, because in the past period, every time Kobe won a game, Sun Zhuo would equalize a game. No matter how Kobe tried to stop him, he couldn't stop it, especially Sun Zhuo's relying on shooting and double-checking. There is no way to turn around and dunk.

Since he faced a BUG-level offense on defense, Kobe consumed more physical energy on defense than Sun Zhuo.

So, the two continued the PK, and they had to admit that at this time, Kobe's one-on-one strength was superior to that of Sun Zhuo. If Sun Zhuo did not have these bug abilities, he would have lost at this moment.

In terms of scoring form, defensive adaptability and willpower, Sun Zhuo did not lose to Kobe, but in terms of breakthrough speed, Sun Zhuo suffered too much. Too many of his ideas became impossible to implement because he could not successfully break through Kobe. It seems natural that he is taller than Kobe and not as fast as Kobe, but Sun Zhuo has the ability to change this situation.

"Speed, I also want the speed of Dwyane Wade!"

Sun Zhuo sometimes shows very fast speed because he has "Wind Step", but the Wind Step can only be triggered the moment he receives the ball from his teammate. In this one-on-one situation, no one can pass the ball. Under such circumstances, this ability becomes useless, and there is also the ability to shoot three-pointers from the corner. Of course, no one will shoot three-pointers from the corner one-on-one.

After some time, Kobe and Sun Zhuo tied at 20:20.

"Do we still want to compete? If we continue to compete, I don't think we can win the first game of the regular season." Sun Zhuo couldn't bear it. Although he exercised every day during this period, the intensity of the exercise was not high enough. Kobe, such continuous high-intensity fighting made Sun Zhuo mentally and physically exhausted.

Kobe is no better than Sun Zhuo. As his physical strength declines, Kobe's shooting percentage has shown a downward trend, but Sun Zhuo's shooting is still accurate.

"Continue! I will beat you until you admit defeat!" Kobe was very stubborn.

…

Outside the arena, Vujacic couldn't wait any longer. "They have been competing for an hour and a half. Is something going to happen? Will they start fighting?"

Phil Jackson has always respected the privacy of the two people. He did not want outsiders to know the result of this duel, but the current situation made him have to worry. Phil said to Vujacic: "Let's go in and take a look. .”

The two cautiously returned to the training ground, only to see an unexpected scene. Sun Zhuo and Kobe were both lying motionless on the floor.

"I told you, they must have started fighting!" Vujacic hurriedly ran up.

Both Kobe and Sun Zhuo gasped for breath. When they saw Vujacic coming over, Kobe immediately stood up and threw away Vujacic who was trying to help him. He scolded: "Who let you in? Get out! Sun Zhu and I haven't competed yet. It’s over, we haven’t decided the winner yet!”

Vujacic and Phil Jackson were surprised at the same time. It has been so long and there is still no winner? Phil Jackson has some special regard for Sun Zhuo. Being able to sustain it for such a long time is not something ordinary people can do. It requires extremely strong mental strength to fight against a guy like Kobe for an hour and a half. If it were anyone else, even if the game was not After being beaten up, his spirit had already collapsed.

Sun Zhuo also slowly got up. He felt pain everywhere in his body. At the beginning, there was no physical contact between the two. When the shooting rate dropped, both sides' defense became full of fouls. "Come on, continue, I can play with you." till tomorrow!"

"Hahaha, okay!" Kobe also laughed boldly. There was blood on the corner of his mouth, and he seemed to be unsteady when walking, but his determination to fight did not change at all!

"Crazy! If these two lunatics continue to fight like this, someone will die!" Phil Jackson had already seen that Sun Zhuo and Kobe were injured due to this one-on-one, and immediately picked up his mobile phone and made a call. He wanted to send the two to the hospital immediately.

Many people are curious, if Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant at their peak had a one-on-one match, what would the outcome be?

Phil already had the answer in his heart, as it is now, no one loses or wins, both of them will see blood, and they will not give up!
