Super Legendary Superstar

Perhaps he is too obsessed with the championship and believes that the championship is more important than anything else. Sun Zhuo will always review whether his team has reached the championship level. This will affect Sun Zhuo's mood to a certain extent and add pressure.

Now Sun Zhuo suddenly understands that the regular season can be greater than the playoffs and is more important than the playoffs.

"Do you want to go back to the previous style of play?" Coach Hill asked with a smile. In fact, in Hill's heart, he didn't think the Magic could compete for the championship this year. He just showed that he and Sun Zhuo had a common goal. But what he cares more about is the regular season. For him, the real regular season is greater than the playoffs. If the Magic record in the regular season is excellent, Sun Zhuo can win the regular season MVP, and Hill can win the best coach. Next season, Hill may continue to coach the Magic. If the Magic's regular season record is only as good as it is now, there is at least a 70% chance that the Magic coach will be replaced next season.

As the saying goes, a good horse deserves a good saddle. When a team has potential superstars like Sun Zhuo and Howard, the team management has no reason not to choose a better coach to help them.

Sun Zhuo shook his head and said: "No, I want to win and train young players at the same time. In the first half, we can make more new attempts and be more adventurous. In the second half, I will start to be responsible for chasing points. "

Coach Hill was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Sun Zhuo to have such confidence. Can he win the game just by playing seriously for half a game? Magic isn't that powerful, right?

However, this has another advantage. It allows Sun Zhuo and the whole team to develop the habit of playing against the wind. In the playoffs, what young teams fear most is to be defeated by a strong team with no room for resistance. , or even lose the courage to counterattack. A mature team must have a lot of patience when facing lagging behind and headwinds.

Going against the wind, this young Magic really needs to adapt and learn well.

The next game is the Magic playing against the Celtics at home. The Celtics are still a team that cannot enter the playoffs this season, but they are not far away from their glorious days again. Garner Te and Ray Allen will announce that they will join the Celtics in 2007, that is, next summer, and form the Big Three with Pierce.

Although there is an additional Sun Zhuo in the NBA in this life, Sun Zhuo has not affected the Celtics, Garnett, and Ray Allen. Sun Zhuo predicts that this transaction will still happen. Wait until the three of them are combined to complete, and then think about it. It is even harder to win the championship, so this season and next season, we must do our best to sprint for the championship.

The Celtics currently only have Pierce, which is nothing to be afraid of. Everyone thinks that ending their four-game losing streak today is not a big problem. In the first half, there were still more tactical attempts and more training for young players, including Howard. Individual singles under the basket, Turkoglu's outside three-pointers, Danny Granger and Ariza taking turns to defend the opponent's strongest scorer, and the passing and cutting cooperation between everyone and Sun Zhuo.

In the first half, the Magic made mistakes but also managed to make several good shots. However, the Celtics did not realize that the Magic were training and did not play very seriously. They thought they had a chance to win this game, but they didn't. Thinking of the beginning of the second half, Sun Zhuo suddenly showed his power, instantly widened the score, and finally won the game.

After the game, Celtics star Paul Pierce was very unhappy. If he had known that the Magic were training in the first half, he would have been more serious and established a lead long ago. The Magic clearly looked down on them.

After the game, Pierce walked up to Sun Zhuo and said with an unruly look on his face: "We only started playing with all our strength in the second half. Boy, are you too arrogant to look down on our team?"

Sun Zhuo didn't like Pierce's domineering attitude. Although Pierce entered the league earlier than Sun Zhuo, in terms of status now, Pierce couldn't compare to Sun Zhuo.

Anyway, the Celtics will have to wait for another season to rise again. Sun Zhuo also responded unceremoniously: "I think you may have misunderstood me, Paul Pierce..."

"No need to explain, you arrogant guy, do you think I don't understand you? This is what you will do!" Pierce became even more arrogant when he saw that Sun Zhuo seemed a little timid.

Sun Zhuo smiled and then finished what he had not finished: "I think you may have misunderstood me. I did not play seriously in the first half, but I also did not play with all my strength in the second half, only 50%. "

"Fifty percent? You..." Pierce felt even more shameless when he heard Sun Zhuo say this. This guy's trash talk was really a headache.

"Don't you know that I can score 81 points in a single game? I only scored more than 20 points in the second half today, and you actually think that I used my full strength? I'm looking down on you. If you want me to be serious, you have to find a few All-Stars. Players help you." Sun Zhuo said slowly.

"I don't need any All-Star help! I can beat you by myself, just wait and see!" After Pierce finished speaking, he left angrily.

Sun Zhuo remembered how Pierce looked like a lone hero at the moment, hoping that he would still remember what he said today after Garnett and Ray Allen arrived.

…

After ending their losing streak, the Magic have taken both winning and growth into consideration. In the next game, the Magic hope to continue to play in this way. The next opponent is the Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks are not a team that can make the playoffs. If you train at halftime and chase points at halftime, you should be able to win.

So, when we arrived at the home court of the Eagles, the Magic continued to play the same way as the previous game. However, the Eagles were in good shape today. In the first half, when the Magic did not score many points, they led by as much as 15 points. This gave Sun Zhuo Chasing points increases the difficulty.

"Guys, we have to get used to playing against the wind. Maybe in the playoffs, in a certain game, we will be 15 points or more behind at halftime. However, if we are behind by these points, won't we be able to win the game? No, let’s start our performance!”

During the halftime break, Sun Zhuo had been cheering on his teammates. The performance in the second half was actually Sun Zhuo's alone. As soon as the third quarter began, Sun Zhuo continued to chase points, chasing the point difference to double digits. At this time, the Eagles called a timeout.

The head coach of the Hawks is Mike Woodson. Woodson was the assistant coach of the Pistons in 2004. When Sun Zhuo played in the Finals for the first time with the Lakers and the Pistons, Woodson contributed a lot of ideas to Larry Brown. It can be said that he studied under Larry Brown and respected Brown very much. Therefore, he was a little disgusted with Sun Zhuo, because the Pistons did not win the championship that year because of Sun Zhuo.

A timeout was called, and Joe Johnson, Al Harrington, Josh Smith, and Zaza Pachulia all came back from the court. Woodson looked at them and said slowly: "I think everyone should see that the Magic are coming. We didn't play seriously in the half. They were experimenting with many tactics and personal attacks. Although we may not make it to the playoffs this season, we must not be used as someone else's sparring partner. I heard that they were like this in the last game against the Celtics. We must win this game, you must firmly grasp the current lead, and you must not let Sun come back alone, no matter what method you use, stop them!"

"Yes, coach!" Zaza Pachulia, Joe Johnson and others were also very angry. They felt that the Magic were too arrogant. Even if they could not make the playoffs in the end, they would still try their best to win this game!

After the timeout, Sun Zhuo encountered a tighter defense, but this was not a problem for Sun Zhuo at all, because Sun Zhuo still had to rely on playing bugs. However, when Sun Zhuo continued to score, this stimulated the Eagles even more. Player, in this case, Joe Johnson stepped up and scored consecutively, continuing to maintain the point difference at around 9 points.

"Qiao Johnson..." Sun Zhuo was very surprised. He couldn't catch the points anymore, and someone could actually stand up to compete with Sun Zhuo.

In Sun Zhuo's impression, Joe Johnson is not a particularly strong player. He has a reputation as a singles player like Joe and Joe Jesus. However, Sun Zhuo is not interested in him. He has good key ball skills and a lot of kills. He has a calm and calm personality, but he doesn't think Sun Zhuo is very strong in ability, at least not as strong as Sun Zhuo is now.

"2006 should be his peak period." Sun Zhuo thought for a while, he should have met Joe Johnson at his peak period, which made Sun Zhuo excited. Sun Zhuo just likes to be when a person is at his peak. defeat him.

"Hey, I heard that you are good in singles? What a coincidence, I can do it too, Bibi?" Sun Zhuo stepped forward and challenged Joe Johnson.

Joe Johnson ignored Sun Zhuo. What is the comparison? The guy who scored 81 points in a game, please go away?

Since Joe Johnson chose to stand up, this competition was inevitable. Sun Zhuo kept using his speed to rush to the basket, while Joe Johnson kept using his footsteps and dribbling to get rid of the defensive player and succeed in jump shots.

In a short period of time, both of them scored 15 points quickly. Adding the previous scores, Joe Johnson will also score 40+ in this game.

At this time, Joe Johnson won Sun Zhuo's respect.

"This guy does have skills. He seems to be able to defend him. He didn't do anything particularly surprising, but he is able to get rid of defenders and hit shots. It's very stable. However, he is not a threat to the basket. He only relies on outside shooting. If you can't compete with my shooting, you won't last long."

The reason why Sun Zhuo is scary is that he is a great threat from the outside and at the basket. Joe Johnson has very good skills and good ball control, and can create shooting conditions in an instant, but his speed is not enough to break through defensive players. , although Danny Granger and Ariza can't prevent Joe Johnson from scoring, they are faster than Joe Johnson and can very well prevent Joe Johnson from breaking through.

Gradually, in the fourth quarter, Joe Johnson's shooting percentage began to decline, and other Eagles players were unable to stand up. The score gradually got closer and eventually tied!

"Damn it, we're still tied!" The one with an angry look on his face was the Georgia center Zaza Pachulia who later partnered with Curry to win the championship.

Anyone who has watched the Warriors play will be deeply impressed by this fierce-looking center. He looks like a boxer. He is always looking for a fight on the court. Throughout his career, he has clashed with countless people. , James Harden, Wade, LeBron James, Garnett, Leonard, Howard... Too many stars have been hurt by him. He is a restless person by nature.

Now that the score was tied, Pachulia was very unhappy. He didn't want to be overtaken by the Magic, so he wanted to do something.

Coincidentally, Howard then singled out Pachulia. Howard came fiercely and immediately attacked the basket. With pure jumping and upper body strength, Pachulia was no match for Howard. Pachulia could only foul. He immediately grabbed Howard with both hands. , after successfully preventing Howard from attacking the basket, he actually pushed Howard, causing Howard to fall to the ground.

When Sun Zhuo saw this situation, he immediately stepped forward to complain about Howard and pushed Pachulia. Pachulia was not afraid of Sun Zhuo at all and stepped forward to talk trash to Sun Zhuo.

"I know what kind of guy you are, you'd better make your moves clearer!" Sun Zhuo shouted to Pachulia.

"Do you want to fight? Come on, I'm not afraid of you!" Pachulia said with a strong face.

Pachulia is indeed not afraid. He dared to head-to-head with tough Kevin Garnett, hit James on the head, and hit Harden in the face with the ball. He is not afraid of fighting at all. He seems to be extremely eager to fight, but this guy The combat value of a fight has never been exposed in the NBA, and Sun Zhuo doesn't know what level this guy is fighting at.

But no matter what level it is, no one in the NBA can be stronger than Sun Zhuo in a fight. Sun Zhuo can naturally teach Pachulia a lesson, but at this important moment, how can Sun Zhuo fight with Pachulia? Even if there is a repeated challenge card in the game, Sun Zhuo feels that Pachulia is not qualified to let himself waste it.

Sun Zhuo thought this was just a minor incident, but he didn't expect that trouble would continue. Pachulia revealed all his sinister side.

First, there was a fight for the ball with Sun Zhuo. He kept making small movements on his hands and feet, which made Sun Zhuo very uncomfortable. In addition, Pachulia was stronger and heavier than Sun Zhuo. Sun Zhuo suffered a lot. This time, if not The referee and teammates rushed over, and the two almost clashed again.

"This bastard." Sun Zhuo touched his eyes. When he was entangled with Pachulia just now, Pachulia's big hand even hit Sun Zhuo's eyes, but these actions were very subtle, and they were all It's such a small movement that the referee can't see it clearly.

At this moment, Sun Zhuo had the idea of ​​wasting a game repeat challenge card to beat Pachulia. Even if he didn't waste it this season, he would have to use it on Pachulia in the next few seasons. For Riya, let’s see if this guy is so tough on the surface, is he really tough? Does he dare to fight? If he really fights, what is his ability?

But now, I can only endure it!

Sun Zhuo gradually expanded his lead, but at this moment, Pachulia made another hidden foul, causing Howard to leave the field directly injured!
