Super Legendary Superstar

"The Magic are really incredible this season. Compared with last season, they have become a completely different team." Faced with this situation, Bulls coach Skiles stood helplessly on the sidelines.

Skiles is very intimidating when he is unsmiling, with his balding hair, sharp eyes, and the demeanor when he lectures players. The Detroit Free Press described him as "like a clenched fist." Of course, he still behaves well when dealing with reporters. Very approachable.

In the first round of the playoffs last season, the Bulls met the Magic. In the playoff showdown, they were even leading the score. They played many games with the Magic last season and are very familiar with this opponent, but now, Magic has become unfamiliar to them.

In just one season, the Magic had almost no changes in their lineup. They were still Sun Zhuo and Howard. But today, playing against them again, Skiles felt a sense of oppression that he had never felt last season.

In the opening game of the regular season, it is too difficult to defeat a team that won the championship last season, unless they are their opponents in the previous finals. The Bulls gradually feel that they cannot win this first victory. But they didn't expect that the Magic didn't just want to win, they wanted to win by many, many points.

In the second half, there was no need for Sun Zhuo to take action. Monta Ellis and Ariza made three-pointers one after another. Paul Millsap and Howard also continued their crazy fighting power, and the point difference became wider and wider. From 26 points to 30 points, from 30 points to 40 points!

"Wow! The Magic have really become stronger this season! In the playoffs last season, I felt that the Bulls and Magic were still capable of fighting. Now I feel that they are completely two-level teams!"

"Haha, what have these two teams been through? Aren't the Bulls stronger?"

Ben Wallace felt so embarrassed that he lost 40 points in his first game after joining the Bulls? How could he bear it?

Next, the Bulls did not give up the game. Ben Wallace led the team to catch up and pulled back from 40 points to 28 points. However, they still lost by 32 points in the end.

After this game, Skiles thought to himself: "We will never meet them again in the playoffs this season! Even if we meet the Heat, we will not meet them!"

Skiles' idea is still correct. The Magic were able to defeat the Heat last season. This season, their overall strength has increased. Others may not know about the Heat, but Sun Zhuo knows that their strength has been greatly reduced this season. First of all, O'Neal was injured. , with Wade barely supporting them, the team once fell out of the top eight. Later, Wade was injured again. They lost to today's Bulls team in the playoffs, and were eliminated 0:4.

"Miami Heat? The Miami Heat who were swept by this Bulls team? Can I still consider you as an opponent? Two brothers..."

After the game, the Magic defeated the Bulls by 32 points, which made Sun Zhuo feel unbelievable. This opening game was like a dream. You know, the opponent they defeated was the one who would sweep the Heat in the playoffs!

"We should have no opponents in the Eastern Conference this season." Sun Zhuo said secretly.

The Big Three of the Celtics in the Eastern Conference have not yet been formed, little emperor LeBron James still lacks helpers, and the Heat's combat effectiveness has declined. If nothing unexpected happens, the Magic can still become the Eastern Conference champion this season, but if they encounter the three strong opponents in the Western Conference, , Sun Zhuoke is indeed not sure at all...

After the game, Sun Zhuo thought that their victory over the Bulls would make today's headlines, but it didn't.

"What? Kobe scored 82 points today?" Back in the locker room, when Sun Zhuo heard the news, he was stunned. Others were also stunned.

"Kobe...are you doing this for me?" Sun Zhuo hasn't seen the specifics of the Lakers' game today, but by coincidence, Kobe's score happens to be one point more than Sun Zhuo's record of 81 points last season, and Kobe has just Anyone can feel that after losing to Sun Zhuo in the finals, Kobe was venting his anger for not winning the championship. Moreover, he wanted to use this record to once again declare to fans around the world that he is the strongest in the league. !

Since Kobe can score 62 points in three quarters and 81 points in a single game, there is no doubt that he can score 1 more point in a single game. After Kobe broke Sun Zhuo's record, it also caused a great response on the Internet.

"In order to score one more point than Sun Zhuo, Kobe played really hard."

"Chamberlain: How about fighting for the second place?"

"Everyone said, will Sun Zhuo score 83 points in the next game? The opponent in the next game will be the 76ers."

Allen Iverson is still on the 76ers, and Kobe Bryant scored 82 points. This is not only an irritation and challenge to Sun Zhuo, but also to Iverson. Therefore, fans are looking forward to the final battle between Iverson and Sun Zhuo. , will it be extremely crazy?

The next day, the Philadelphia 76ers were already preparing to rush to Orlando to challenge the Magic and start their second game of the regular season.

Allen Iverson is not in a good mood, and so are others. Since 2001, Iverson has never been to the finals to compete for the championship. In addition, the emergence of the younger generation Sun Zhuo, James, and Howard , people seem to have gradually forgotten Iverson.

Moreover, he now has a bad relationship with the team's coach and management, and he already has a premonition that he will leave the 76ers.

"Back then, I didn't even pay attention to Kobe." Iverson closed his eyes silently and didn't communicate with his teammates for almost the entire day.

November 3rd, the home court of the Magic, the scene of the game between the Magic and the 76ers.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Long time no see. That piano song you wrote is good. I've been playing it on a loop these past two days."

Before the game, Sun Zhuo and Iverson first greeted each other in a friendly manner. When Iverson said these words, his expression was cold. It was not that he was not enthusiastic about Sun Zhuo, but that he seemed to have no energy. Sun Zhuo also knew that he and Iverson were not enthusiastic. He has connections with the 76ers coach and knows that Iverson will soon be traded to the Denver Nuggets.

"Today may be the last showdown between me and Iverson of the 76ers." Sun Zhuo attaches great importance to today's matchup with Iverson, because Iverson is also a player that Sun Zhuo likes to admire. When he goes to the Nuggets, he will Fighting might not be so enjoyable.

In Iverson's prime, as long as he was standing there wearing a 76ers jersey, he was the undoubted boss.

"Allen Iverson seems to be in average condition today. I wonder if he can have a wonderful attack with Sun."

"I hope AI can bring more motivation to Sun. Sun is going to challenge for 83 points today!"

Even before the game started, the audience was very excited. There were also a lot of people here today because Kobe Bryant scored 82 points before and everyone thought Sun Zhuo would immediately score 83 points to prove himself.

In fact, Sun Zhuo had no intention of doing this.

Scoring 80+ points in a single game is not something you can just do. Regardless of ability, the Magic team atmosphere is very good now. In the last game, it was thanks to these role players and substitute players that the Magic were able to beat the Bulls 30 times. Sun Zhuo doesn't want to take away the opportunities that belong to other players because of his own selfish desires. Scoring 80+ points in one game is really occupying the number of shots.

Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the game, Iverson was the first to get angry. He looked listless, but when he got the ball in his hands, he changed completely. He scored two mid-range shots and a three-pointer at the beginning. Score the ball and score 7 points in a row.

Seeing that Iverson was in good condition today, Sun Zhuo didn't hesitate anymore and immediately beat Iguodala and scored 4 points in a row.

The aces of the two teams faced off directly. This game went as everyone expected. Both Iverson and Sun Zhuo were stimulated by Kobe's 82 points. What followed was indeed as everyone expected, both of them stepped forward and took over the team. attack.

However, after all, there is a gap in the overall strength between the 76ers and the Magic. The Magic are a championship team, and there is a defensive gate like Howard in the interior. Iverson made several shots, but they seemed a bit reluctant.

When Iverson scored 17 points in the second quarter, it was obvious that he felt a little weak.

At this time, Sun Zhuo's attack seemed to have just begun.

"rebound!"

The Magic grabbed the rebound and Howard passed the ball directly to Sun Zhuo. Sun Zhuo quickly launched a fast break and Iguodala followed closely. However, Sun Zhuo ignored Iguodala at all and dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Going to the basket is a slam dunk!

"Beautiful! Sun seems to be more decisive in fast break dunks this season!"

Since it was just an ordinary dunk action, everyone did not realize that this was the result of Sun Zhuo's improvement in dunking ability.

"If you want to guard me, you have to jump a little higher." Sun Zhuo turned around and said to Iguodala, who failed to chase the shot.

"This guy Sun... the one he fought against today was obviously an AI, why are you always talking trash to me?" Iguodala felt depressed. He found that Sun Zhuo talked to him more often this time.

Iverson is about to leave the 76ers, and Iguodala will soon become the boss. Therefore, Iguodala also gets more respect from Sun Zhuo.

After a fast break, Sun Zhuo relied on his speed to steal again. To hide his dunk ability, he just scored a layup. At this time, Sun Zhuo had already scored 23 points.

"Although Allen Iverson was the first to show his strength, Sun surpassed him so easily. It felt like Allen couldn't catch up."

"AI is 31 years old. I respect him very much, but he may be really old."

The personal score between Iverson and Sun Zhuo had just progressed to 17:23, and everyone agreed that Iverson would lose this matchup. They even felt that Iverson was no longer at his peak, and there was no way he could compete with Sun Zhuo, who was at his peak.

Not only the audience of the Magic at home thought so, but Iverson's teammates also gave Iverson this feeling from their eyes and actions.

"Can AI beat Sun Yat-sen? The only one in the league who can beat Sun Yat-sen is Kobe Bryant, right? AI's scoring ability is indeed very strong. If you give him enough shots, he can score a lot of points, but Sun Yat-sen can The guy who scored 81 points." Chris Webber of the 76ers shook his head and was not optimistic that Iverson could win.

Iverson remained silent and expressionless, but a fire was faintly ignited in his heart.

"What's wrong with 31 years old? When Michael Jordan was 31 years old, he was still No. 1 in the world. At 35 years old, he was still winning championships!" Iverson admired Jordan since he was a child. He was stubborn and strong. He didn't believe in what Jordan could do. I can't do it myself.

Suddenly, Iverson quickly broke through the defense.

"Are you going to come in again?" Magic insiders like Howard also took precautions.

Unexpectedly, after Iverson broke through, he passed the ball to Iguodala behind him with one hand. Iguodala appeared open, faked a shot, shook the rushing defender away, and immediately began to break through. , seemingly going to the basket, the Magic also focused on Iguodala, who was a great threat to the basket, especially Howard. He knew that Iguodala's dunks were powerful, and he didn't want to be beaten by Iguodala. Dara buckle.

However, no one expected that after passing the ball, Iverson did not step aside, but ran to the basket and actively asked Iguodala for the ball!

When Iguodala saw his boss asking for the ball, although he was a little worried about Iverson, he still passed it out without hesitation. The ball he passed was an lob!

"What? He didn't dunk by himself?" Everyone was surprised. A dunker like Iguodala rushed in with great momentum. If he didn't dunk by himself, who was the alley-oop pass to?

Chris Webber?

"Oh my God, that's Allen Iverson!"

I saw that the long-famous "Answer" was already flying. He received the pass in the air and dunked toward the basket with both hands!

Howard jumped up to block the shot, but it was too late and Iverson successfully dunked it.

"Yeah!" The entire bench of the 76ers jumped up. How long had it been since they saw Iverson dunk like this? And this time it also caused a foul by Howard, which can also be counted as a dunk!

On the court, Iguodala and Chris Webber also excitedly rushed towards Iverson and wanted to high-five Iverson to celebrate. Chris Webber even wanted to jump up and bump shoulders with Iverson.

However, Iverson, who completed such an amazing dunk, remained expressionless and coolly stretched out his hand to high-five his teammates one by one.

Sun Zhuo was also deeply touched: "He could have sneaked into the corner to shoot a three-pointer just now...but he had to hit the basket and play alley-oop. If Howard hadn't been too afraid of Iguodala's dunking ability, Iverson was 100% blocked on this shot, haha, he is still the man who is not afraid of anything."

After this dunk, Iverson seemed to be reborn, his steps became more flexible, and his dribbling became more ghostly. Moreover, he did not force himself to shoot, assisting his teammates again and again, and his teammates trusted him more. As he played better, Iverson's scoring slowly increased.

Iverson led the 76ers to play such a game, which made Sun Zhuo feel in a daze that they were simply here to compete for the championship this season!

By the third quarter, the 76ers were already 9 points ahead of the Magic, and Iverson's personal score reached 33 points, not much behind Sun Zhuo.

76ers coach Maurice Cheeks looked at the team in confusion on the sidelines, as if he was watching a team he didn't know at all.
