Super Legendary Superstar

Magic home locker room.

Coach Hill took all the players back to the locker room to rest. Sun Zhuo had already jogged back early. He had just taken off his upper body jersey and was sitting to rest with an excited smile on his face.

Coach Hill walked towards Sun Zhuo, smiled and said, "Sun, this is the first time I've seen you so excited about playing a game."

Sun Zhuo and Hill have not cooperated for a long time. It has only been more than ten days since the regular season began. Since Sun Zhuo has been questioned, Sun Zhuo is always very serious during the game and will focus on scoring in every game. Above, it was the first time that Coach Hill continued to compete with his opponents and even cheated after the game like today.

Sun Zhuo smiled and said: "Every time I play against LeBron, I get excited. He is really not comparable to ordinary opponents."

Coach Hill could see that Sun Zhuo was enjoying the duel with James. He smiled and said, "You guys are so tit-for-tat on the court. Even though it's no longer game time, you still don't want to help each other. It seems like there's going to be some drama in the second half." It was a tough fight.”

Sun Zhuo nodded. In the first half, the Cavaliers and Magic were evenly matched. Since the Cavaliers took the lead, they were slightly ahead. But as the Magic got better, defeating the Cavaliers was not a problem. After all, in terms of team strength, the Magic Definitely stronger than the knight.

The Cavaliers are a team on the fringe of the playoffs, a team that relies on James to support them, while the Magic can guarantee a playoff spot with only Sun Zhuo and Howard, and a number of role players are also stronger than the Cavaliers.

"I have no problem, Granger, how are you? You played a lot of time in the first half, and I may have to rely on you in the second half." Sun Zhuo asked Danny Granger, who is this year's rookie. , and was not taken seriously. In the previous games, he had never played on the court for so long. Sun Zhuo was afraid that Granger would not be able to bear it.

"I'm fine, boss, I'm fine! And I...I'm getting more and more excited as we play!" Danny Granger poured water on him when he returned to the locker room. He had never received so much in the first half since he entered the NBA. Granger himself was very excited about his playing time and his performance today.

Danny Granger has always respected Sun Zhuo, because it was Sun Zhuo's suggestion that he came to Orlando, and today he can get such a long playing time and compete with Cavaliers ace James many times on the court. Because of Sun Zhuo, in Granger's heart, no one on the team can compare to Sun Zhuo, not even Coach Hill.

In fact, with Sun Zhuo's current personal strength and global influence, he can indeed surpass Hill as a coach as a player.

Granger seemed to be afraid that Sun Zhuo would not believe that he could cope with the second half of the game, so he took the initiative and said to Sun Zhuo: "I want to continue to partner with you in the second half. You believe me, I will try my best to defend LeBron James better!"

In the first half, Danny Granger's restrictions on James were limited. After all, the opponent was James. Among the top three scorers this season, it is understandable that Granger could not defend a newcomer well.

Sun Zhuo was very excited when he saw Granger's serious face. He seemed to want to show off today. He didn't know Granger well, unlike Kobe, Durant, and Curry. Where did he go? He knew what kind of family he came from, so he sat next to Granger and asked softly: "Is there something wrong? You can tell me."

Sun Zhuo has completely become a leader this season, which means that everyone and everything on the team is related to him. He is not a leader like Kobe who keeps distance from his teammates. He hopes that he can be on the court and in life. are closely connected with these people.

Granger did not hide anything from Sun Zhuo and said truthfully: "He is a friend of mine from childhood. He is very good at basketball. But because of DUPIN, he was shot and served several years in prison. He was just released from prison today." , came to watch my game, and he was right there.”

Sun Zhuo sighed with emotion. It seemed that Granger's growth experience was also full of hardships and dangers. Sun Zhuo knew more than one or two such players. Growing up in that environment, he could not commit crimes and finally enter the NBA. , already amazing.

Seeing Sun Zhuo's serious expression, Granger smiled and said, "The environments in China and the United States are different. Maybe it's hard for you to understand what I'm saying. In fact, I was shot when I was a child, about 12 years old. At that time, there was a street called Calhoun in the neighborhood where I lived. My father warned me not to go there. There was a house specializing in DUPIN sales. People often died on the street. I was playing basketball with my friends at the time and passed by that street. , suddenly someone opened fire in the car, shooting at me and the people I was playing golf with. I drove and hid in the bushes, but I was shot in the leg. You see, there are still scars."

Danny Granger raised his right leg to show Sun Zhuo the marks left by the gunshot.

Sun Zhuo didn't know what to say for a moment. These guys had experienced such terrible things outside the stadium, and they were still at such a young age.

After a slight pause, Sun Zhuo said: "I believe you will not be defeated by LeBron. At least mentally, he will never defeat you."

In the second half, Sun Zhuo decided to give Danny Granger more opportunities to perform. Since his childhood friend is here, let's give his friend a victory.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Sun Zhuo immediately exerted his strength and used his shooting skills to score continuously. At the same time, Danny Granger worked harder to defend James, and the point difference was soon caught up, turning the Magic into the lead. .

"Why are the Magic suddenly more motivated than us?" James also became melancholy. At the beginning of the game, the Cavaliers players were more excited and got into the state faster, but after halftime, it was reversed, especially since they had never been in the game before. Danny Granger, the rookie he had encountered, was the most positive.

There must be a reason for a person to be so motivated on the court. The reason for James is that he has lost to Sun Zhuo four times and he wants to win once. So what is the reason for the No. 33 rookie?

James wanted to know.

"Hey, kid, although you can't guard me, I like your defensive attitude." James praised Danny Granger. Granger's defense was quite regular and there were no fouls. For a rookie, I am afraid that only Chris Paul, Deron Williams and Danny Granger in front of me have this kind of attitude towards the game. How good would it be for James to think that such a player would come to the Cavaliers as his substitute?

"Sun's luck is still better than mine. Without Kobe and Shaq, the Magic still have Dwight Howard, last year's No. 1 pick. Dwight is also a player with unlimited potential. This year, they got players like Danny Granger. , and our Cavaliers have not had a useful newcomer join us in the past two years." James sighed with emotion.

Sooner or later, Sun Zhuo will let the world know that Danny Granger, Ariza, and Monta Ellis around him are all good basketball players and quasi-All-Star players. Today, since Danny Granger is so motivated Since he is in good condition, let Danny Granger show up first.

Sun Zhuo kept Danny Granger on the court at all times. Although Granger made occasional mistakes, his attitude on the court was really nothing to say. He was active in defense, rebounding, and worked hard to save the ball.

A Magic team attack was caused by Sun Zhuo's passing error. Sun Zhuo predicted Danny Granger's position incorrectly and passed the ball in advance. Danny Granger was unable to catch it and the ball flew towards the audience, but Granger regarded the ball as his own mistake and flew to save it. He threw himself on the first row of seats and saved the ball.

Sun Zhuo felt a little sorry for Granger, and then said to Granger: "You didn't have to work so hard to save the ball just now. Was it my mistake? I'm sorry."

Danny Granger said: "I did this for my friend, you don't have to be sorry."

"That friend of yours? Which one was he?" Sun Zhuo was very curious about what a person with such fighting spirit as Granger looked like.

Danny Granger looked at the auditorium on the right, pointed upward in one direction, and said, "The guy in the gray clothes in the fifth row waved to me."

Sun Zhuo looked in the direction Granger pointed and saw a man who was much more experienced than Granger. This man looked like he was thirty years old. How could he be Granger's childhood friend? Moreover, this man's clothes were a little shabby, which was obviously different from the well-dressed spectators around him. He didn't look like someone who could watch the game in this position.

Danny Granger said: "Before he went to prison, he warned me not to touch DUPIN and become a basketball player. In fact, he is more talented than me in basketball, and I have never been able to compare with him."

After the Magic took a brief lead, they were gradually overtaken by the Cavaliers. I have to admit that the Magic are still not a good enough team. They make many mistakes in every game. Once these mistakes are caught by the opponent, even if it is the Cavaliers. A team with a higher level will eventually lose the game.

Both teams were not strong enough. When they had the advantage, they were unable to defeat their opponents in one blow. The game still remained in suspense until the last moment.

In this game, Sun Zhuo did not score many points. With the last minute of the game left, the score was 36 points. Although James only scored 30 points, which was less than Sun Zhuo, he had 10 assists, which was more than Sun Zhuo. .

"It's my turn to beat him once."

The Cavaliers trailed by one point at 97:98. In the last attack, James did not have helpers like Ray Allen, Wade, or Irving around him. He chose to shoot by himself. Although James' shooting has not been very good, sometimes his shooting Shooting is very lethal. James's key ball ability is not low, but his shooting percentage is low when the pressure is high. If he is given less pressure, his shooting will be more stable, so James often does some "adding fuel to the fire" "Things like when his teammates all went crazy and were suddenly ten points ahead of their opponents. At this time, James would casually throw a three-pointer or a two-pointer, and he would often make it.

With James' shooting, the Cavaliers took the lead by one point at 99:98 with 4 seconds left.

The Magic called a final timeout to set up tactics. Many people thought this tactic was designed for Sun Zhuo, but Sun Zhuo had no intention of ending it on his own.

On the one hand, he has exhausted the number of shots he can rely on. The opponent's defensive focus must be on Sun Zhuo. Sun Zhuo plays hard, whether he is shooting from the outside or breaking through to the basket, he has to face one-to-many defense. In this kind of situation, In this case, the success rate may not be very high.

On the other hand, Sun Zhuo wanted to give Danny Granger a chance.

"Coach, this time I break through to attract the defense and pass the ball to Danny Granger. Let him shoot the last ball." Sun Zhuo took the initiative to ask the coach for a tactic.

"Boss..." Danny Granger was completely stunned. He was lucky to be able to play on the court for so long in this game. He didn't expect that Sun Zhuo would even give him the last attack... This would decide this game. What a ball of fate!

"I...what qualifications do I have to shoot this ball?" Granger looks cool, a rookie, but he doesn't take the already famous James in his eyes. The same is true for other people, but at a moment like this , but became inferior to himself.

"Believe in yourself, you can do it." Sun Zhuo encouraged Granger. Since Granger will grow into an All-Star player, what Sun Zhuo has to do is to speed up his growth. The first thing to do is to establish To boost his confidence, hitting a buzzer beater will definitely give him a lot of confidence.

Granger didn't shirk anymore. He glanced at the auditorium above again. For his friend, he also wanted to make this shot.

So, the Magic made their final attack.

"He will definitely use his speed to complete the kill." James has already predicted Sun Zhuo's last attack. Therefore, when defending, James will pay special attention to Sun Zhuo's layup after breaking through.

The Magic served from the outside, and Sun Zhuo broke through quickly after receiving the ball. For a moment, two Cavaliers players followed Sun Zhuo. After Sun Zhuo broke through two steps, he threw the ball directly to Danny Gran at the top of the arc. Jay.

The moment the ball was passed, James and others were completely shocked!

Sun Zhuo is actually willing to give up the last attack to others? Or a rookie?

Danny Granger had just reached this position and was unguarded. Granger did not hesitate and took the shot...

"You must come in!" shouted a black man in cheap clothes from the fifth row of the auditorium.

Uh-huh!

Granger hit the buzzer beater!

competition is over.

"Ah! I'm in, I hit the buzzer-beater!" Danny Granger became excited, and the entire Magic team became excited.

Granger excitedly ran to Sun Zhuo to celebrate. Seeing Granger's wonderful performance in a single game, Sun Zhuo was also happy. He wanted to single-handedly cultivate Granger and Ariza into superstars.

"Maybe one day you will leave me." Sun Zhuo looked at Granger. Granger's face became a little stiff. Sun Zhuo continued: "That's when you go to be the boss of another team."

"Boss!" Granger hugged Sun Zhuo excitedly after hearing this.

"You should share this joy with your friends." Sun Zhuo reminded.

Granger nodded, and in his excitement, he actually stepped into the auditorium with his long legs. From time to time, fans from the second and third rows patted him and extended their hands to express their congratulations. Granger ignored him and just When we got to the fifth row, we hugged our friend deeply. The two hugged each other for about forty seconds. When their bodies separated, the two tall men actually cried.

"You brat, you have indeed become a professional basketball player." The black man with a vicissitude of appearance was over two meters tall when he stood up. In front of Granger, he looked very much like his elders educating him.

Granger looked sad and said: "If...those things hadn't happened to you, you must be doing better than me now."

"There are no ifs in this world." The man forced a smile on his face and hugged Granger tightly.
