Super Legendary Superstar

Popovich scratched his messy hair and said impatiently: "Chad, I forgive you for joining the Spurs this year and not understanding my rules. I remind you again, don't disturb me outside of working hours. Especially when I need to rest and prepare to talk to my daughter!”

Popovich has always been very dignified in the team. If it weren't for someone like Chad who seemed a bit stunned, he might not have dared to say this to the head coach. Chad said: "Coach Popovich, we should be here We can definitely win an away game."

Chad was dissatisfied with the current situation. The young Howard was praised to the sky, and the great inside player Tim Duncan, who was at his best, was belittled and ridiculed. Chad felt unfair for Duncan, and he believed that Howard was in this situation. If it goes down, the game will get better and better, which will be detrimental to the Spurs.

Popovich saw Chad looking so serious and knew that the other person was doing his job well, so he turned his anger into a smile, patted Chad on the shoulder, asked him to sit down, and had a good chat with him: "Dwight Howard, this guy has How many times, you and I, Tim Duncan, we all know, what if he is blown to the sky? The most important thing is Sun, he is the key to the outcome of the series. Chad, our The opponents are very young and very arrogant, which is something we can take advantage of. In this series, it may not be us who beat them in the end, but them themselves.”

From Popovich's mysterious smile, Chad knew that Popovich must be planning something.

…

In 1993, the Magic faced the Nets.

At this moment, Sun Zhuo is challenging O'Neal for his second peak game.

"Scott, here, pass it over here!"

At this time, the Magic team was on a fast break. O'Neal, controlled by Sun Zhuo, ran quickly and shouted at the team's point guard Scott Scales. Yes, it was the same Scott who served as the Bulls coach in 2007. Teskeles, at this time, his hair is still luxuriant, not as bald as his hair.

Skiles was a little hesitant, because "O'Neal" was still far away from the basket. If he passed it to him now, would he be able to safely transport it to the basket with his huge body?

Because Sun Zhuo has always played as a small forward, he is used to dribbling the ball by himself, and he also knows that O'Neal's speed is not bad now. If he controls the ball carefully, he can definitely dribble the ball on his own for a fast break, so he can't wait to ask for the ball from his teammates.

"Give it to me!" A dashing Magic No. 1 suddenly passed in front of Skiles. It was "Penny" Hardaway, the Magic's rising star at the time!

Scales quickly passed the ball to Hardaway. Hardaway quickly broke through the defense and reached the basket, pretending to attack by himself, and then passed it to Sun Zhuo who was following behind. Sun Zhuo jumped up domineeringly and dunked with both hands!

The scene was filled with cheers.

"Anfernee Hardaway is a very strong rookie. When he was training with the Dream Team, he even defeated that Dream Team once! The combination of him and Shaquille O'Neal must be worth looking forward to!"

"Haha, it seems that the Orlando Magic are not far away from the championship!"

On the court, rookie Hardaway also took the initiative to high-five Sun Zhuo. Sun Zhuo looked at this man who was as chic and elegant as Tracy McGrady and secretly said in his heart: "Hardaway, do you know that I am the strongest Magic No. 1... "

A terrifying triple-double is not so easy to obtain, especially when it comes to blocking shots. Sun Zhuo only blocked 2 shots in one quarter. I really don’t know how he managed to block 15 shots.

Sun Zhuo has always played as a small forward. There are still things he is not used to in the center position, such as "O'Neal's strong dunk". When Sun Zhuo faces a tall center, he is always a little timid and feels that the opponent This height is really too high. When you jump up, you worry about being blocked, and the results are often not ideal.

"It seems that I need to fight a few more times before I can slowly adapt to the fact that I am a 2.16-meter giant."

The challenge failed, and Sun Zhuo could only find another time to challenge.

…

Soon, it was time for the second game of the finals.

Although the Magic are now leading 1:0, it is thanks to a lucky tip-in by Howard. The Spurs' strength impressed all Magic fans in the last game. This time, the Spurs may be more difficult to deal with.

In the auditorium, the VIP spectators Kobe and Wade were discussing in detail the probability of winning or losing this game. Kerry was sitting next to them, listening carefully. Although Kerry didn't know much about basketball, However, Kerry knew something that neither Kobe nor Wade knew.

"I don't know if what Sun said is true. He didn't say it to comfort me, right?" Kerry thought to himself.

In the past two days, Kerry has been watching reports about the NBA Finals. Some ESPN columnists or celebrities from TN.T have analyzed the Finals. They all feel that the Magic are not optimistic about the Finals. Although Leading 1:0, but they won with a lucky rebound at the last minute. The key is that Sun Zhuo's personal offense was suppressed. The Magic could not beat the Spurs only relying on Howard.

Kerry knew that Sun Zhuo had been worried about the Spurs early in the morning, so he talked to Sun Zhuo about some things in this regard. Last night, Sun Zhuo told Kerry that the Spurs did not restrict him at all, and he could completely kill the Spurs by shooting. It's just that at the beginning of the series, he deliberately showed weakness. After a few games, he will catch his opponent off guard.

Kerry looked at Sun Zhuo on the field with a sense of warmth, and he believed that his man could cope with all situations.

The game officially started. The lineups of both sides had no changes from the previous game. Likewise, the defense against Sun Zhuo had no changes.

"We can't sit still and wait for death in this game. We have to make a decisive move first. If we have a good touch, we may be able to scare the opponent." Sun Zhuo knew that the opponent's defense against him was still to prevent breakthrough shots, so he took the shot.

Breaking through Bowen strongly, after being blocked, he took a step back and made a fadeaway jumper!

"Oh, he shot! This action..." Wade and Sun Zhuo are so close, and he had already guessed that Sun Zhuo would take more shots in this game than the last one, but he didn't expect Sun Zhuo to make a fadeaway jumper. His posture is somewhat similar to that of Kobe Bryant.

Kobe was surprised when he saw it, and then he thought about Sun Zhuo asking him to teach him shooting posture.

Sun Zhuo's fadeaway jumper has actually been the best in the league for a long time, but his previous shots were all done with his back to the basket and his body leaning against the opponent. A fadeaway jumper like this that is in front of the basket and does not have any physical contact with the opponent, everyone. Still rarely seen.

Uh-huh!

Sun Zhuo hit the target on his first shot!

"This..." In the Spurs dugout, assistant coach Chad looked at coach Popovich with some worry.

Popovich looked at the court calmly, waved his hand and said one word: "Illusion."

Popovich didn't believe this was Sun Zhuo's routine operation.

Even Wade became curious and asked Kobe next to him: "Did you teach him anything before I came here? His previous fadeaway jumper was not like this. This ball seems to be imitating you, especially It was the moment when I took action, it was so similar.”

When Sun Zhuo challenged Kobe in his peak game before, he naturally remembered Kobe's fadeaway jumper. Therefore, he couldn't help but use Kobe's action this time. Anyway, with his own shooting posture, the shooting rate would not be good. Where to go.

Kobe smiled: "He did ask me to teach him my shooting movements, but to be honest, when he used my movements to shoot, his shooting percentage was really terrible."

"Oh?" Wade was surprised, and suddenly understood that Sun Zhuo's shot was actually a gamble on luck. If the bet was right, he could scare the Spurs.

As Sun Zhuo's good brother, Wade whispered to Kobe: "Would you like to help Sun Zhuo?"

"How can I help?" Kobe didn't know what Wade was talking about.

Wade said: "Next time if Sun uses your shooting action to score a goal, we will interact with him off the court to make Popovich mistakenly think that he got your real pass."

Kobe smiled helplessly. He himself had never done such a trick as a child, but since Wade had spoken, let him accompany him.

After Kobe agreed, Wade happily glanced at Sun Zhuo on the court. Sun Zhuo didn't understand at first, but he finally understood after seeing Wade making careful gestures.

"Haha, does D-WADE want me to use Kobe's moves to shoot another one? I understand what he wants to do." Sun Zhuo naturally understood what Wade meant, because Wade was not such a person originally. All his actions were influenced by Sun Zhuo, and confusing his opponents was completely "Sun Zhuo's style" behavior.

Soon, it was the Magic's turn to attack again.

"God willing, let me get another one in."

Sun Zhuo prayed and immediately hit another iconic Kobe-style shot!

"Why is it so similar?" Even Popovich on the sidelines couldn't help but panic. Sun Zhuo's actions were completely different from Kobe's. From dribbling to shooting, they were so similar.

Of the tens of thousands of people present, Kobe was probably the only outsider who knew this. Sun Zhuo was very demanding in imitating Kobe's movements and had Kobe coach him for a long time. Sun Zhuo paid great attention to every detail.

Clang.

After Sun Zhuo took the shot, the basketball bounced on the rim a few times, but eventually it fell into the net!

"Haha." Sun Zhuo was overjoyed. He was really lucky today!

Kobe was so shocked that he grinned, but was immediately reminded by Wade patting his thigh. Kobe immediately changed his expression from surprise to relief, and stood up and gave Sun Zhuo a thumbs up.

Sun Zhuo, who was on the court, immediately responded with a "fist cup" gesture to Kobe.

This interaction made the fans present couldn't help but think about it.

"Both Sun's shots are similar to Kobe's. Kobe has been in Orlando for so long, has he been teaching him the fadeaway jumper?"

"Haha, has Sun's face-up mid-range shot been passed down by Kobe? In fact, when it comes to back-to-the-rim shooting, Kobe has to learn from Sun! I think the two of them should be learning from each other, and Kobe should also practice behind-the-rim shooting. .”

For a moment, the atmosphere on the court became mysterious, and Popovich couldn't help but feel a little confused. Chad leaned over again and said: "If Sun can reach Kobe's level in the mid-range, then..."

"Are you crazy? It's only been a few days since the Lakers were eliminated? Can he learn what Kobe has done for more than ten years in such a short period of time?" Popovich is still tough, insists on his own approach, and continues to prevent sudden shots!

Next, Sun Zhuo once again imitated Kobe and failed. After that, he didn't even imitate at all.

Popovich glanced coldly in the direction of Wade and Kobe: "A bunch of little guys still want to confuse me. Go call Pat Riley and Phil Jackson, so you can have this hope."

After Sun Zhuo's disguise was seen through, the Spurs became even more unstoppable. French sports car Tony Parker drilled around on the court, unstoppable. Monta Ellis's defense was still too weak. Parker even dared to attack in front of Ellis. Shoot three-pointers in person.

Soon, after Ginobili came on the court, he targeted Howard, who was still in good condition. Although the coach did not tell him to target Howard in this game, Ginobili had his own ideas. He just wanted to teach Howard how to behave. His elan.

Not long after he came on the court, Ginobili easily fouled Howard. From Ginobili's sharp eyes, Sun Zhuo could see that one foul could not satisfy Ginobili's ambition.

So, Sun Zhuo reminded Howard: "Dwight, be careful with Manu Ginobili, don't let him cheat you into fouling again."

"I know, I almost made a good shot just now." Howard said nonchalantly. He had already made two shots in the first quarter. If he hadn't been called for a foul just now, it would have been the third one.

Ginobili still looks cool and looks no different from the taciturn person he usually is, but now, his mood is very different from before.

"Dwight Howard, the league's No. 1 post player? After three years in the league, his shooting skills have not improved. Why do you think so? How could this series become like this? I would rather see Sun unstoppable and having fun. Have a fight with him!"

Popovich completely restricted Sun Zhuo's athletic talent, but Ginobili wanted to see this even more.

"Oops, missed again, get back on defense!"

The Magic's offense failed, and this time it was a quick play. Howard didn't even reach the basket, so the Magic took action. As a result, Ginobili got the rebound and rushed forward crazily, and happened to meet Howard in the midfield. As a defender, there are not many opportunities to face the center in the midfield position. Ginobili instantly wanted to do something.

"Dwight!" Sun Zhuo shouted to Howard to remind him.

Only then did Howard realize that Ginobili was rushing toward him. Howard had no time to hide. Ginobili rushed forward, like a Hollywood actor. The referee immediately blew the whistle and called Howard another foul.

"What? I didn't touch him at all! He did it himself!" Howard felt aggrieved and argued with the referee.

"This guy Howard...can't blame him. Ginobili is too insidious and impossible to guard against." Sun Zhuo sighed with emotion and quickly stepped forward to push Howard aside.

"Stop yelling, Dwight, do you want to be sentenced for another foul?" Sun Zhuo pushed Howard away and comforted Howard: "Stop fussing, calm down, don't foul again, you are very important to us, you know ?"

Sun Zhuo's sincere eyes made Howard calm down. He could feel from Sun Zhuo's eyes how important he was to Sun Zhuo and to the entire team. That feeling was like the earth could not rotate without him. .

"Sun needs me, everyone needs me, okay." Howard accepted the outcome calmly and forced himself to be rational, feeling a surge of pride in his heart.
