Super Legendary Superstar

When personal strength reaches the level of Sun Zhuo and Kobe, one-on-one PK is more of a confrontation between mental strength and desire. In addition, there is no specific winning standard for this duel, and one party must take the initiative to admit it. Failure is the end. Naturally, Kobe would rather be sent to the hospital than admit it, and the same goes for Sun Zhuo.

This is probably the most intense one-on-one matchup in NBA history.

Phil Jackson stopped this "fight to the death" showdown and sent the two to the hospital. Kobe's leg was injured and he would definitely not be able to play in the first game of the new season, but the injury was not serious and he would be fine in a few days of recovery.

Sun Zhuo was not seriously injured, but his physical exertion was so great that he felt dizzy when he flew out of Los Angeles. Then he fell ill when he arrived in Orlando. November 2 was the day of the Magic's first game. Zhuo will also be absent from the opening game.

After the news of Sun Zhuo's absence from the opening game was released, the media started reporting on Sun Zhuo's situation. Some people had already revealed that Sun Zhuo was injured in Los Angeles. The rumors were even more outrageous. It was said that Sun Zhuo was unwilling to be traded by the Lakers and ran to find him. Kobe singled out, and both players were injured.

As soon as the news came out, it triggered criticism from many fans.

"Sun is too impulsive. He is no longer an ordinary role player. He is the leader of the Orlando Magic this season. The whole team depends on him, but he does such irresponsible things. Not only in the preseason Missed, even the regular season.”

"Sun dared to challenge Kobe?! Kobe was also absent from the first game. I really want to know the result between the two? Who won?"

"I predict that the Magic will not make the playoffs this year. Sun is too young and is only in his third year in the league. He needs more senior All-Star players to lead him."

While recuperating, Sun Zhuo would read some magazines and newspapers, or browse the news online, and found that before he even played a game with the Magic, everyone was blaming him.

"Do you feel something is different?" In a Gothic mansion in Orlando, agent Emma brought a glass of water to Sun Zhuo. As Sun Zhuo came to Orlando, Emma also moved to this city.

This is the mansion that Sun Zhuo bought from others after coming to Orlando. It has 10,000 square feet, 5 bedrooms, a fully functional large kitchen, a huge living room with a two-way fireplace, billiards room, water bar, Home theater is also available.

The style of this house is completely different from Sun Zhuo's mansion in Los Angeles. Sun Zhuo also wanted to bid farewell to the past and start a new chapter before choosing this house. What attracted Sun Zhuo to this house was the outdoor design, with a fireplace and an entertainment center terrace. A swimming pool with waterfalls, slides, and a small artificial circulating river.

Emma looked around the luxurious castle she was in for another week, and without waiting for Sun Zhuo to answer, she spoke again: "Sun, your identity is different. You are no longer an insignificant character. You are the hope of all Orlando fans. , the whole team is counting on you, so the media has become more demanding on you. Every move, word and deed you make will be amplified. Believe me, dealing with the media is definitely not simple but necessary, starting from this season , you have to learn and hone slowly."

Sun Zhuo nodded, but he didn't pay too much attention to the voices of the media and fans, because he knew that he would reach the full level soon, and there were still two useless special training cards. As long as he could perform well, these Words will evaporate.

In the regular season opener when Sun Zhuo was absent, the Magic played disorganized and lost the first game.

Two days later, Sun Zhuo couldn't wait to return before he recovered from his illness. Today is Sun Zhuo's first game on behalf of the Magic. The opponent is the Memphis Grizzlies, which is at the Magic's home court.

After the on-site DJ introduced Sun Zhuo to the entrance, when the familiar Magic No. 1 appeared again, the fans at the scene still gave endless cheers.

"Magic No. 1! I saw Magic No. 1 again! Everyone who dares to wear Magic No. 1 is a legend. However, no Magic No. 1 can lead the team to win the championship. I wonder if Sun can do it..."

"Sun scored 60 points in a single game last season. Can he surpass T-MAC here?"

When Sun Zhuo appeared on the court wearing the Magic No. 1 jersey, he became very emotional. The new jersey, new home court, and new team are all brand new. Especially in this season, he will be the team's unique leader. , this is Sun Zhuo's team completely.

"My new season has finally begun!"

Sun Zhuo is very excited. The 2005-06 season is a very special season in Sun Zhuo's opinion. The stars in this season have fully unleashed their talents. In the NBA ten years later, you will never see anything like this season. Such an epic individual scoring performance.

This season, not only Kobe is crazy, other superstars are also scoring 50 and 60 points at every turn. In this season, Iverson has scored 50+ points in 1 game, 40-49 in 14 games, and 30-39. 34 games; Kobe had 6 games with 50+, 21 games with 40-49, and 29 games with 30-39; James had 2 games with 50+, 8 games with 40-49, and 39 games with 30-39.

This season, Kobe Bryant averaged 35.4 points per game and won the scoring title. The second place in the scoring list was Iverson with 33 points. James averaged 31.4 points per game and could only rank third. Even Arenas, who ranked fourth, was ranked third. He averaged 29.4 points per game.

It's been a crazy season!

"This is my first time as the team leader, and the scoring title is what I must strive for."

Although he knows how difficult it is to win the scoring title this season, Sun Zhuo still has to give it a try.

The game starts soon.

Grizzlies starting lineup: Eddie Jones, Pau Gasol, Damon Stoudemire, Shane Battier and White.

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

After the game started, Sun Zhuo couldn't wait to prove to the world that the new Magic No. 1 was here. He would do better than Penny and Tracy McGrady. He also wanted to prove his leadership skills. In short, he had too much to prove this season. However, haste makes waste in some things, not to mention that Sun Zhuo has not yet recovered from his illness and has not played in a game for a long time, so he is not in a competitive state at all.

In the opening few goals, Sun Zhuo missed consecutive shots and made many coordination errors with his teammates, which led to his opponent's counterattack and scoring. Seeing this, the fans at the scene couldn't help but feel disappointed.

"It seems that he needs some time to adapt slowly. He has been filming movies in the past few months during the offseason, hasn't he? I don't know if the injury he suffered in the Lakers last season has healed. Plus the jersey he is wearing, I Looking at Sun, I always feel uneasy."

"I'm just like you, man, although I'm happy that the Magic have another All-Star, but Sun is giving off a sense of insecurity."

Even Sun Zhuo himself has to admit that his current state is terrible. He can use his BUG ability to quickly gain some points to regain some face, but that is meaningless. What he wants is continued excellent performance.

In this game, Sun Zhuo realized how important a leader is to the team. Sun Zhuo's poor performance directly affected the performance of others, because the core of the tactics revolved around Sun Zhuo, and it was even worse for others. Find the feel in this situation.

The Grizzlies are a team that can make the playoffs, and Pau Gasol is an All-Star. Facing such an opponent, the Magic lost miserably to their opponent in the first game. Sun Zhuo only scored 13 points. After the third quarter, Didn't play again.

Some media originally expressed doubts about Sun Zhuo's leadership and professionalism. After finally waiting for Sun Zhuo to return, the result was a disastrous defeat in the first game. Sun Zhuo's own performance was also very poor. The media even more unceremoniously criticized Sun Zhuo. .

After the game, when being interviewed by reporters, Sun Zhuo fell into this dilemma for the first time.

Reporter: "How do you evaluate your first game with the Magic? After joining the Magic, you once said that you would bring a championship to this city, and your goal this season is to hit the championship, but now the team has started... After losing two games in a row, both miserably, do you still think the Magic are a team that can compete for the championship?"

"I think so, we're at..."

Before Sun Zhuo could finish his answer, another reporter crowded around and stretched out his microphone, "Sun, after this game, some people commented that you can no longer play. We all know that you have been filming during the offseason. movie without doing any aspect of basketball training.”

"I train every day!" Faced with reporters' rumors, Sun Zhuoye explained sternly.

"How do you explain the previous duel with Kobe? I heard that you went to Los Angeles two days ago to have a personal duel with him, which resulted in both of them being injured. Is that true?" The reporter continued to pursue him.

"This is a private agreement between Kobe and I. I have no comment on this matter."

"Can you find your form in the next game?"

"I will definitely find it back!"

…

Sun Zhuo spent a lot of effort to get rid of the entanglement with the reporter. The interview of just a few minutes made him feel more difficult than the dozens of minutes of the game. Now he finally knows what he needs to bear as a team leader. Now, he understands better the feelings and pressures of leading stars such as Kobe and Tracy McGrady.

When I was with the Lakers in the first two years, when the team lost or had problems, the media would not put all the blame on Sun Zhuo. They would go to O'Neal and Kobe, and O'Neal and Kobe would take the responsibility on Sun Zhuo's behalf.

But now, everyone knows that the boss of the Magic is Sun Zhuo. In order to get Sun Zhuo, the Magic sacrificed Francis, Hill and a first-round pick. Magic fans will not have too much tolerance for Sun Zhuo. If they change After arriving, Sun Zhuo did not show his due value, so what do you want to do?

For a few brief moments, the figure of Trevor Ariza appeared in Sun Zhuo's mind. Ariza was on this team, so Sun Zhuo could naturally meet him at any time, but the figure in his mind was Ariza wearing a Rockets jersey. At that time, Ariza briefly became the boss, but due to lack of ability, he could only become an assistant in the end.

"How can I be someone like Ariza who can only be the boss for a while!" Sun Zhuo felt that he was really driven crazy by the media and was starting to have random thoughts.

Sun Zhuo is now facing huge pressure, but the NBA currently has a lot of back-to-back schedules, which does not give Sun Zhuo a chance to breathe and adjust. The next day, the Magic will play back-to-back games, and the opponent still has a general who is in full swing. The Washington Wizards led by Arenas are on the road.

Sun Zhuo returned from illness yesterday and came to Washington again today. Not only has his condition not recovered, but it has become serious. With such a tight schedule, it may be difficult for Sun Zhuo to find the state of the game today.

Arenas has always regarded Sun Zhuo as a competitor. Both of them are players who have gradually made a name for themselves from being ignored, and they are both crazy now.

"Hey, man, you seem to be in a bad state, but I'm sorry, I won't let you go, I will beat you up today, as a welcome gift to the east, don't believe that the west is strong and the east is weak Those nonsense are more terrifying in the East, you know?" Arenas walked towards Sun Zhuo before the game.

Sun Zhuo knew that the guy in front of him averaged nearly 30 points per game. With Sun Zhuo's current state, the probability of losing to him in a personal duel tonight was very high.

"Why did I meet the top four scorers this season so early? No, I can't lose to him." After Sun Zhuo experienced one-on-one with Kobe, his stubborn mentality of not wanting to lose became even stronger.

However, Arenas is in really good shape and can score as he pleases, while Sun Zhuo can be said to have been exposed to the rain all night due to a leak in the house, and his condition is not good. Sun Zhuo wants to use some more reliable scoring methods. Of course, bugs can always be It can be used, but there is a limit on the number of times it can be used. After using it a few times, Sun Zhuo wants to try more corner three-point shots that can be used unlimited times.

Sun Zhuo quickly got three shooting opportunities from the left and right corners, but missed all three times.

One of them was blocked by Arenas who was alert and rushed over. The other two actually missed their shots!

The three-point shooting rate from the corner was 90%, but he missed two consecutive shots!

"Ten percent chance of it happening twice in a row? What kind of luck am I doing?"

Being suppressed by Arenas, Sun Zhuo also became more impatient. When he was driving to the basket, he suffered a minor injury again and was forced to leave the game.

However, after Sun Zhuo left the game, the Magic, led by Howard and Turkoglu, came back and defeated the Wizards.

"Congratulations on your upgrade to level 50!"

At the end of the game, Sun Zhuo was surprised to find in the locker room that he had reached the full level!

However, the current situation did not give Sun Zhuo the time and mood to be happy and celebrate. After this game, Sun Zhuo was once again questioned. Even Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith of T.NT expressed doubts about Sun Zhuo's leadership. Competence generates doubt and criticism.

Kenny Smith: "Sun is completely unworthy of being a team leader. His performance in these two games has been terrible. He is worse than a role player. Now he can't even hit his best three-pointer from the corner. I don’t know what else he can do on the field.”

Charles Barkley even said bluntly: "When I watched the Magic's game, I really feel that Sun is in two different leagues from everyone else. Sun's level should be played in the Development League. He can no longer adapt to NBA games."
