Super Legendary Superstar

Artest was the first to be able to block Sun Zhuo's dunk in a fast break. His defense was indeed excellent, and he won the best defensive player award in Sun Zhuo's rookie season. However, in terms of bounce alone, Artest was better than Except for Sun Zhuo, the reason why he was able to block Sun Zhuo this time was actually entirely because Sun Zhuo deliberately asked him to block it.

With Artest's character, if the ball cannot be blocked, he will force a foul and will not give Sun Zhuo a chance to score. Instead of doing this, it is better to allow him to block one and let him relax his vigilance.

Now Artest is already in a very deep position under the basket. This position is a dangerous area, especially for a small man. Standing in such a deep position under the basket, once someone rushes to the basket, it will be very dangerous. Easy to be ridden and buckled.

Sun Zhuo had already told Howard. Upon seeing this, Howard rushed to the basket faster, completely in front of Jermaine O'Neal.

Seeing that it would take two seconds for Howard to arrive, Sun Zhuo picked up the ball and immediately continued to beat Artest under the basket. He lightly jumped up and used a small hook. This time he still did not jump with all his strength. As a result, Naturally, Artest blocked another one, and the basketball was knocked out again.

"Yeah!" Artest roared excitedly. He was completely in a state of excitement. Who else can block the strongest offensive player in the NBA today? Who else can do it! It’s just me, Ron Artest!

Artest stood motionless under the basket, expecting Sun Zhuo to attack the basket again. He wanted to complete a three-game shot!

However, the three-hooded hat was not waiting for him, but Artest was waiting for a "Warcraft".

After Sun Zhuo got the ball again, he saw Howard running over. He threw it covertly in Howard's direction, and then suddenly walked away to one side.

"Why are you leaving?" Artest was suddenly stunned when he saw Sun Zhuo walking away. Then he saw Howard, who was two meters tall and had an amazing bounce, soaring into the sky and flying directly towards him!

"Oh, SH1T!" As soon as Artest's feet left the ground, he was directly slammed to the ground by Howard of Warcraft!

Howard was too tall and strong, and Artest couldn't stand up to him, let alone being completely defenseless.

This dunk also made the scene excited!

"Haha! Ron Artest was dunked by Dwight!"

"Thanks to Sun, Dwight also got a taste of dunking on others. This ball must be one of the top ten goals of the Magic team this season."

Howard was also excited. He has a big boy personality. After the dunk, he screamed excitedly. How could Artest endure such an insult?

"You guy!"

Artest got up from the ground and pushed Howard hard, knocking Howard to the ground!

The referee immediately heard the sound and rushed over. He immediately called Artest a second-level flagrant foul and ejected him from the game!

Seeing Artest being sent off, Sun Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief. Without this guy's interference, the game would be much simpler. He helped Howard up, and Howard smiled cheerfully, not taking it seriously at all. He has no intention of regaining face and fighting Artest again.

Artest left angrily and said to Sun Zhuo as he walked: "Don't forget the agreement between us!"

Wrestling? Sun Zhuo would definitely not forget such an important thing.

After Artest was sent off, Sun Zhuo's score easily exceeded 40. The game ended with 42 points. The Magic also easily defeated the Pacers. After Sun Zhuo returned to the NBA, he led the team to three consecutive victories.

In the next game, the Magic will continue to sit at home and face Sun Zhuo's old rival, the Cleveland Cavaliers led by LeBron James.

In the Cavaliers training hall, James had been preparing for this battle with Sun Zhuo a few days ago. As Sun Zhuo and James became more and more famous, the duel between the two became more and more exciting. That’s right. During their rookie season, the two of them didn’t get much attention. At most, there was a “Best Rookie Battle.” At that time, the league still belonged to Tracy McGrady and Kobe. Now, James, Sun Zhuo and Wei Germany's three newcomers have successfully become members of the league's first echelon.

In the training hall, James called all the players over. Now, he is becoming more and more leader-like in his movements. In addition, his appearance is relatively unpredictable. Whether he is a new player or an old player in the team, , are quite willing to recognize his identity as the boss.

"Brothers, we are about to go to Orlando to play the Magic. You all know what kind of opponent there is. Sun and I have been opponents since 2003. Every time we play, he will specifically target me and use some tricks. Ability that has never been shown before. This season, he has exposed his speed in advance. Maybe there is no hidden ability in this match. However, our personal duel is not the focus. Some of you may not know that in the past two seasons, Sun Yat-sen and I have I haven’t won a single battle.”

When James said this, his face became obviously a little lonely. Big Z also lowered his head apologetically after hearing this. Old Cavaliers players like Big Z naturally know that James has never defeated Sun Zhuo. They have experienced it with James. , but for the new members of the team, they don’t know this history, and they don’t know how much James wants to beat Sun Zhuo once.

James looked at his teammates and continued: "He is in very good shape now, with 40+ points in three consecutive games. Maybe he can still score so many points against us. I don't care about competing with his personal data. All I care about is the team." Victory, I hope everyone can help me and let me beat him once!"

In the past two seasons, this is the first time James has spoken to his teammates in this way. It is more like a beg, a beg from the team leader, and his teammates are also moved.

"LeBron, don't worry, I will fight to the death to help you beat him in this game!" Big Z spoke first.

"This guy Sun is difficult to deal with, but when you lost to him before, it was all because he had superstar teammates around him. Now he doesn't have Shaquille O'Neal or Kobe Bryant around him. The Magic are just like us, but... We can even defeat the Mavericks, a team on the fringes of the playoffs. Beating the Magic is nothing. LeBron, I won't hold you back on the day we play the Magic." Larry Hughes also expressed his attitude.

"Thank you, thank you all." James expressed his gratitude to his teammates. He wanted to beat Sun Zhuo from the bottom of his heart. As Larry Hughes said, Sun Zhuo no longer has Kobe and O'Neal around him, so it is a good time to defeat him. .

As for James saying that he only cares about the team's victory and does not care about personal data competition, it is just a high-sounding statement. Of course he also cares about personal data, but he also knows that Sun Zhuo is a scoring maniac who can score 120 points in a single game. At present, there are probably only four players in the league, Kobe, Iverson, McGrady, and Arenas, who can compete with Sun Zhuo. James has never been a super scorer. If he scores in a single game, James may lose to Sun Zhuo.

However, James does not want to compete with Sun Zhuo in scoring, but in comprehensiveness. James is still tied for first place with Sun Zhuo in the scoring list, but James has more assists. In a single game, Sun Zhuo may win in scoring. Over James, even if James loses, he won't lose too much. He can still score 30 or 40 points. If he scores 40 points and has more than a dozen assists, comprehensive comparison, wouldn't he be better than Sun Zhuo? Want to be excellent?

Therefore, he made a special request to his teammates, hoping that they could work harder, not only to win the game, but also to help James get a few more assists.

Soon, the entire Cavaliers team arrived in Orlando.

In everyone's eyes, the duel between Sun Zhuo and James has gradually evolved from a duel between "children" to a duel between "adults". When Sun Zhuo first provoked James, both of them were newcomers to the league. At that time, both of them were already qualified All-Star players and leaders of their respective teams. They also led the league in scoring average and would often do things that shocked the league. In addition, both of them were like this. Young, today's duel is more like a duel between future alliance masters.

Kobe Bryant is still the signature and strongest player in the league, but what about after Kobe? Who can take up this torch?

Fans believe that the answer must be between Sun Zhuo and LeBron James, oh, and of course, Dwyane Wade.

The tickets in the arena were also sold very well today, and the venue was almost full. Since Sun Zhuo joined the Magic, the ticket prices here have immediately skyrocketed, especially with Sun Zhuo’s crazy performance in these games. Today, there is another It's a showdown with an old rival. Old fans all know that when Sun Zhuoyi meets James, the game will definitely be fun to watch.

"In the past two seasons, every time Sun met LeBron James, he would use a hidden ability. I don't know if he will do it again this time. If Sun wasn't forced to do that by Charles Barkley and the media some time ago, he probably wouldn't. Going to the G League to expose his speed, I always thought his speed was never fully revealed just to surprise LeBron today."

"I think so too. Sun has always been targeting LeBron. Everyone knows that in the 2003 generation, both Sun and Dwyane Wade of the Heat have won championships, and Dwyane Wade has even won the Finals MVP. As the No. 1 pick in the 2003 class, LeBron James has long been regarded as the strongest LeBron James in 2003, but he has not even made the playoffs. Of course, there is no doubt about his personal strength, but he is not lucky enough to be a teammate with Shaquille O'Neal. .”

Sun Zhuo and Wade both relied on the powerful O'Neal to win the championship. Not to mention that there is no O'Neal around James, he does not even have an All-Star teammate. This is where he feels aggrieved in the past two years.

"One person, no one alike!" LeBron James, wearing the Cavaliers' away jersey, stood in the Magic's home arena with a slightly sad look. He was surrounded by teammates that no one might know in a few years. In the past two years, This is how he came through, constantly losing games and constantly ending the season early.

James looked at Sun Zhuo, who was wearing the Magic's No. 1 jersey, and was still a little uncomfortable with Sun Zhuo's outfit. He had watched McGrady play for many years, and he always felt that this outfit still belonged to McGrady.

"Sun, we meet again. In the past, you had Shaq and Kobe by your side, so I couldn't beat you. But today, we don't have superstar teammates by our side. I won't lose to you again!"

Although it is just an ordinary regular season game, James really wants to win!

Sun Zhuo was also very happy to see James, maybe he was used to it... Every time he met James before, he would find new bugs.

"I wonder if there will be any bugs discovered today..."

Sun Zhuo is not looking forward to this matter too much, because he already knows a lot of bugs. If he finds a bug every time he meets James, and a game has so many bugs, then this game is too good. Not up to standard.

Sun Zhuo and James said hello before the game and did not talk much. From the simple greetings, it can be felt that James is more confident when facing Sun Zhuo this time than before.

"He must think that I don't have any superstar teammates around me anymore, so he is confident that he can beat me in this game. But, James, maybe you don't believe it, but my current teammates are still better than yours."

Sun Zhuo's teammates include Howard, the future number one center, and quasi-All-Star players such as Turkoglu, Ariza, Monta Ellis, and Danny Granger. Who does the Cavaliers have? There are Larry Hughes, Drew Gooden, Eric Snow and a lot of names you have never heard of. In comparison, the Magic's lineup will definitely beat the Cavaliers.

However, Howard and Ariza have not yet played their strongest form, so in James' eyes, they are no different from his teammates around him. In fact, they are very different.

The game started soon. James was determined to beat Sun Zhuo. He was very focused from the first minute and defended Sun Zhuo from the beginning.

"Come on, let me show you your speed." Today is also the first time that James has experienced Sun Zhuo's lightning speed. He has never experienced it in previous games.

Sun Zhuo didn't let James wait for long, and quickly broke through in lightning, shook off James' defense, forced his way to the basket and drew a foul.

"It's really fast! I feel on par with Dwyane Wade. It seems that I have to thank Charles Barkley. If it weren't for him, Sun Yat-sen would probably have endured until today to reveal his true speed." James was a little scared. If that was the case. , he will be at a loss, and will collapse, and will even hate Sun Zhuo even more.

Sun Zhuo had already promised Wade that he would not use his abilities against James. Unless he discovered new abilities on the spot, he would not do so again. James was overthinking.

After Sun Zhuo gained more terrifying speed, he was indeed unstoppable and a test for any team's defense. However, James is doing the same thing. He can average more than 30 points per game this season, which can still prove his strength. of.

After a few minutes of playing in the first quarter, Sun Zhuo discovered that not only James was amazingly efficient, but James' unknown teammates also performed well. Larry Hughes made 2 of 2 three-pointers, and Big Z's inside man beat Howard and got a better score than James. More points!

The Cavaliers lead the Magic by 8 points.

James walked towards Sun Zhuo and said, "This time, it's my turn to win against you."
