Super Legendary Superstar

Kobe and Wade were both present in the audience, and they all noticed this.

"Sun seems to have been testing the Spurs' defensive limits." Kobe said lightly. Although he came to San Antonio according to Phil Jackson's suggestion, he did not bother Sun Zhuo after arriving here. He knew that the Magic was at a very delicate stage.

Wade naturally knows this too. Although he has not experienced what Kobe and Sun Zhuo have experienced, O'Neal made it clear to him on the first day he came to the Heat that the Heat are Wade's team.

Wade was not curious about Sun Zhuo's behavior. Whether Sun Zhuo was testing or something else, it had been proven that Sun Zhuo was trying to attack and compete for the FMVP. He was more curious about Howard's next reaction.

Howard quickly returned to the court. Now Howard can no longer be played as the core. Even if Howard grabs the rebound, he will choose whether to attack based on the defense. If he is not sure, he must attack immediately. Spread the word.

After playing for nearly two quarters, Howard's score did not reach double figures, while Sun Zhuo's score was close to 20 points. Howard was a little depressed, but suddenly thought in his heart: "I have no chance to perform offensively, but defensively, I still have the best performance." It can be like before!”

Howard's value in this year's finals is not only scoring, but also defense. FMVP selection will never only look at scoring. Defense is also a very important factor.

As a result, Howard began to focus more on defense. For Duncan who he was guarding, he basically couldn't block Duncan's shots. If Duncan shot from the outside, he would definitely take the shot when Howard was not so close. He would not force the shot, but in the basket Next time, Duncan would also use his body to squeeze Howard away, or use his skills to trick Howard before taking action. Defending Duncan was a very difficult task, and Howard did not dare to take action hastily for fear of being deceived and fouled.

What Howard wants to do is block shots when helping to defend, to cover other Spurs players, rather than blocking the opponent.

Among other players, Tony Parker and Ginobili love to cause trouble in the paint. They will always rush in for layups from time to time. Howard feels that he just needs to be more alert...

"Ginobili's snake-shaped breakthrough! Dunk! Beautiful!" Yu Jia, like most Chinese fans, naturally hopes that the Magic led by Sun Zhuo can win, but when he sees his opponent's good performance, he also sincerely praises him.

Zhang Weiping also likes the Spurs team very much, praising: "Ginobili is so fast, like a gust of wind, he just slipped in and dunked with both hands. Howard wanted to block the shot, but he couldn't catch up."

Yu Jia nodded and said: "Yes, at this speed, the Magic team except Sun Zhuo can catch up. Unfortunately, Sun Zhuo couldn't predict in advance that Ginobili would rush in and dunk. If Sun Zhuo was an inside player, he would stand in Howard's position. , this ball can probably be blocked."

Zhang Weiping also agreed very much.

At the scene, Ginobili's dunk and Howard's failed block made the audience cheer excitedly, but Sun Zhuo dismissed the cheers. He had firmly remembered Ginobili's behavior and would challenge again later. , he will not let Ginobili succeed again.

Howard still maintained a very active defensive attitude. Afterwards, he failed to cover Ginobili and Tony Parker, but instead blocked Finley.

"Okay!" Howard was very excited after successfully blocking the shot.

At this time, Sun Zhuo also noticed that Howard was continuing to maintain his terrifying performance on the defensive end.

"Howard has not only scored well in the past few games, but also has a terrible performance on the defensive end. I not only have to score higher than him, but I also have to perform better defensively. But my current defense is average, so I can only challenge him again later. When he was playing, one or two blocks that originally belonged to him were taken away."

Sun Zhuo also kept Howard's block in mind.

As the game progressed, due to Sun Zhuo's low scoring efficiency, Howard could not continue his good performance. Coupled with the Spurs' united efforts, the game soon fell into the Spurs' favor and was eventually won by the Spurs.

Having won this game, the Spurs players felt relieved, but Popovich felt strange. This was different from what he predicted, and it felt less challenging.

Although Sun Zhuo also scored 38 points, he clearly could have scored 40+ or ​​more, but he did not pursue it. Moreover, when he lost the game, he did not panic or feel depressed at all.

"He's reacting as if the game hasn't ended yet and they haven't lost yet. How could this happen?" Popovich was puzzled.

Popovich is also the opponent who likes to study Sun Zhuo the most in the league. Sometimes he really wants to bring Sun Zhuo to the Spurs to coach him personally, so that he can find out what Sun Zhuo is thinking about every day.

Before Sun Zhuo left the field, he left Popovich with a meaningful and mysterious smile. Then, after resting for a while in the locker room, he started the game again!

"You used a game repeat challenge card, and you have one game repeat challenge card left this season!"

…

Time went back to before the game. Sun Zhuo used the game repeat challenge card. This time, his score was definitely not just 38 points. In addition to scoring, other data were the same!

"My statistics in the first three games were very mediocre. In this game, let me just get the best results!"

The game restarted, both sides jumped the ball in the middle circle, and Howard jumped to get the ball. The first attack was still for Howard to single out Duncan.

"Howard can't get in." When Howard was about to hook, Sun Zhuo already knew the result.

Yu Jia: "Howard took action! He missed...oh! Sun Zhuo! Sun Zhuo dunked in!"

Zhang Weiping was also shocked: "Hey, when did Sun Zhuo sneak in? This kind of make-up dunk is very rare, because the Magic's offense just now was to let Howard fight one on one, and everyone opened up to give Howard space. Sun Zhuo couldn't have been nearby just now, and Howard's shooting position was close to the basket. Sun Zhuo had to predict in advance to grab the rebound before Duncan or Howard."

Bowen, who was guarding Sun Zhuo, was stunned. He never expected that Sun Zhuo would suddenly run to the basket. Howard hadn't even taken a shot just now.

"How did he know that Dwight would miss the shot? Or did the two of them discuss it?" Bowen was stunned for a moment and glanced at Popovich off the court. Popovich did not respond with any expression.

Keep fighting!

"It was Parker's turn to make a mistake." Sun Zhuo remembered it very clearly, and he also knew that Parker's almost mistake would happen again this time. Even if Sun Zhuo dunked in the ball that Howard didn't score before, it would still not matter. Change, because whether it was before or now, the Spurs will play the established tactics. These two times, the Spurs had no chance for a fast break, and the defense they encountered was exactly the same.

Duncan brought it up to cooperate with Parker as a screen, and Parker changed direction and dribbled the ball, and sure enough! At the same position, the ball hit Monta Ellis' calf and bounced toward midfield.

Sun Zhuo predicted these things, but still made no move. He was waiting for Duncan to save the ball.

"Duncan made a flying save! He really worked hard!" Yu Jia shouted.

Sun Zhuo is still waiting for Duncan to pass the ball.

When Duncan quickly passed the ball back to Tony Parker...

Whoosh!

Sun Zhuo turned on S+ speed and floated past Tony Parker like a gust of wind, taking the basketball away with him.

"What?" Parker was panicking, and Duncan was also terrified, but they couldn't do anything to Sun Zhuo. Sun Zhuo had already passed halftime and was heading towards the empty frontcourt!

"Wow! Steal! No one is guarding, Sun Zhuo is going to dunk! Free throw line dunk!!" Yu Jia didn't realize that when he said "free throw line dunk", he almost broke everyone's eardrums. Such Sun Zhuo, he has waited too long, everyone has waited too long.

Zhang Weiping also smiled and said: "Haha, I'm back. That omnipotent Sun Zhuo is back again. I can't go wrong with his look!"

At this moment, Popovich looked very bad. Although he was prepared to let Sun Zhuo score this game, he was not allowed to score like this. And until this moment, Popovich had not really started to "unblock" Sun Zhuo. .

Popovich really wanted to fight Sun Zhuo and use all his defense to block Sun Zhuo. However, in this case, Howard would play a dominant performance again, and Sun Zhuo would show off from time to time, and the victory would be in doubt again. .

"Okay, if you want to compete with Dwight Howard for the FMVP, then I'll let you compete for it." Popovich immediately unblocked Sun Zhuo.

Soon, Howard encountered various double-team defenses and flagrant fouls, making it impossible for him to attack inside.

"Damn it, the Spurs are forcing me to pass the ball to Sun. Did Sun do something to Popovich privately?" Howard was very dissatisfied with the defense he encountered and began to make frequent mistakes.

Agent Fagan was also troubled: "It's not good. Dwight's condition has declined greatly, and Sun scored in double figures not long after the start. He also had rebounds and steals. It seems that Sun is serious. He wants to follow Dwight grabs FMVP!”

In the previous game, Sun Zhuo failed to hit many of his attempted attacks. After knowing what kind of defense the opponent would make, Sun Zhuo was able to change the result this time.

He was also playing in a low post. When he saw others coming to double-team him, he quickly passed the ball to Monta Ellis. Then Sun Zhuo immediately ran to the bottom corner, caught the ball, and lifted the basketball high...

This time, Sun Zhuo did not take action directly. He knew that Bowen would follow up and block the shot without hesitation.

"What?" Bowen rushed forward and almost jumped up. He said he was going to be a defensive player, but now he may have lost his position or jumped up.

"His body control is really good." Sun Zhuo was also surprised, thinking that Bowen would jump up directly, but even if he didn't jump, it didn't matter, Sun Zhuo had already deceived Bowen.

Immediately, Sun Zhuo pulled the ball down again and pretended to break through. Bowen immediately retreated, and Sun Zhuo directly shot a three-pointer. Bowen didn't give up and jumped to block the shot.

Uh-huh!

Snapped!

Bowen hit Sun Zhuo on the wrist, 3+1!

"Wow, these moves are really exciting. Bowen's defense is already very good." Wade exclaimed.

Kobe also nodded and said: "Sun's performance in this game is really different from the previous three games, especially in terms of self-confidence. I felt that he didn't dare to shoot before, but now he shoots very resolutely."

After playing a 3+1, Sun Zhuo used almost the same method to score another three-pointer at a 45-degree angle at the top of the arc!

Soon, Sun Zhuo's score exceeded 20 points!

"It's so fast, he scores so fast." Seeing Sun Zhuo's score soaring like a rocket, Howard was a little flustered. If he keeps scoring like this, Sun Zhuo will probably get 50 or 60 points in this game! In this case, wouldn't Sun Zhuo surpass him in scoring after one game?

"No, he scores too fast. I can't compare with him in scoring, but in terms of defensive data, he definitely can't compare with me." Howard thought about continuing to perform well on defense, even if he lost slightly in scoring and rebounding. Howard also has an absolute advantage in terms of ball and shot blocking, and the FMVP will still be given to him when the time comes.

"Block, I want to block!" Howard targeted Tony Parker and Ginobili.

Soon, Ginobili made a snake-like breakthrough and went directly into the penalty area, trying to dunk with both hands!

"Oops, I can't keep up!" Howard wanted to block Ginobili, but Ginobili was too fast and Howard couldn't catch up.

Snapped!

Just when Howard thought Ginobili would successfully complete the dunk, a figure suddenly flew past him, and Sun Zhuo suddenly hit the ball.

"What?" Howard was stunned. He was so close to the basket and didn't even have time to block Ginobili. How could Sun Zhuo, an outside player, react so quickly?

Ginobili hung his hands on the basket, but the ball had already been knocked out by Sun Zhuo. The scene was stunned. After Sun Zhuo got the ball again, he immediately started a fast break. Howard also ran behind him desperately. Once Sun Zhuo missed the layup, If successful, Howard can follow up and make up the dunk.

However, Sun Zhuo did not give Howard this opportunity.

With a European step, Sun Zhuo dunked Bowen out!

"European step buckle! Oh my God!"

"The referee blew the whistle, what? Was it Bowen's foul?"

The Magic dugout was in a state of excitement, as were all Sun Zhuo's fans. Sun Zhuo, whom they had been waiting for for so long, was finally back!

Bruce Bowen once knew that Sun Zhuo was good at European step dunks, but in the past three games, Sun Zhuo was blocked and couldn't run or jump, so he forgot about it.

"The silence in the past three games has made people forget how terrifying Sun is when he goes crazy. This time Sun is going to explode." Kobe smiled, and then glanced at Popovich's face. He already knew Popovich's plan, Kobe wants to know if Popovich can still calm down now.

On the Internet, after Sun Zhuo was completely unblocked, countless netizens also commented.

"This is called the most valuable player! Even if the rebounding and blocking statistics are not as good as Howard's, the FMVP should still belong to Sun Zhuo!"

"No wonder Popovich restricted Sun Zhuo so hard in the first three games. He really couldn't let him go. Once he gets up, no one can stop him."

Soon, Sun Zhuo's personal score exceeded 30 points, and the Magic also led the Spurs.

Popovich frowned: "It won't be 1:3, right?"
