Super Legendary Superstar

The Magic came to San Antonio with a score of 1:1, and unexpectedly won two consecutive games on the road. Howard exploded in one game, and Sun Zhuo exploded in the other. As a result, the stronger Spurs suffered two "unexpected attacks" in a row. This was something no one expected.

Now, the Magic have to play their last away game at home with the Spurs, and they only need one win to win the championship.

The next day, when the Magic players were training, they no longer had any pressure. Monta Ellis and Paul Millsap happily played one-on-one, and Danny Granger and Ariza were also competing against each other.

Sun Zhuo and Howard currently each have a 50-50 chance of winning the FMVP, and the atmosphere is not too tense. Howard still has a chance, so he did not show off and greeted Sun Zhuo as usual. However, Howard coughed from time to time today, which made Sun Zhuo a little worried: "Dwight, are you okay? You must not be sick at this time."

Howard didn't look too good: "I'm just a little uncomfortable, it shouldn't be anything serious."

Sun Zhuo nodded, and did not forget to cheer for all his teammates: "Guys, we are only one victory away from the championship. Don't relax in training these two days, and try to return to Orlando with the championship trophy!"

"good!"

"no problem!"

Everyone also responded one after another, with high morale.

However, Howard suddenly walked up to Sun Zhuo and asked in a low voice: "Sun, do you really think we can win this series 4:1? The Spurs are so strong. Frankly speaking, I am a little afraid to win 3:1 now. Believe it or not, are you going to finish it with all your strength in the fifth game?"

Sun Zhuo answered truthfully: "No, the Spurs will not let us win the championship at their home court. The next game will definitely be difficult, but if there is a chance, of course it is better to end it as soon as possible."

Howard nodded, he understood that what Sun Zhuo said to everyone just now was just to boost morale, and Sun Zhuo didn't think he could win the fifth game smoothly.

In this case, Howard knew what was going on.

"It looks like the real duel will not be in Game 5, but in Orlando."

…

June 16, Game 5 of the Finals, was also the last game at the Spurs' home court.

Since today may be the last game of the Finals, NBA President David Stern and Bill Russell are here, not to mention all media reporters.

Even so, experts and fans still feel that the finals will not end so early. The Spurs are not an opponent who will be defeated 1:4. In the regular season, the Magic were beaten, and many people still think that the Spurs are strong as a whole. After watching magic, some people even think that there is no need to worry about the 1:3 situation.

As a perennially excellent team, the Spurs have indeed lived up to everyone's trust in him.

After the defeat in the fourth game, after Popovich had a heart-to-heart talk with everyone, everyone temporarily forgot about the situation at hand and set their sights further. At the same time, they did not care about the big score and now just wanted to win. In this game, the Spurs can't win just one game in a series. This is too embarrassing.

The Spurs once again played their wonderful cooperation. Tim Duncan showed his superstar qualities and scored five out of five in the opening game. He was in very good condition. Tony Parker was still a point that the Magic could not solve. On the Magic side, Sun Zhuo and Howard Neither of them looked like they were going to break out. They both knew that the Spurs would defend in this game and it would be quite difficult to beat them.

Seeing the Spurs suppressing the Magic, Yu Jia and Zhang Weiping also vaguely felt that the Magic did not want to chase them. This is also a normal mentality. They are already 3:1 ahead, and it is the opponent's away game. No one is sure to win three games in a row. Away game, besides, for the Magic, it would be a good thing to return home to win the championship and enjoy the cheers of the home fans.

So, Yu Jia started chatting with Zhang Weiping. Yu Jia admired Duncan's calmness and said: "With Howard's explosion two days ago, many people said that Howard is already the strongest insider in the league. I think he can be said to be a talent in the league. The strongest insider, in many aspects, Howard is not as good as Duncan. You see, Duncan also scored 20 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks without knowing it. Moreover, he is more stable and can handle any defense with ease."

Zhang Weiping said: "Yes, in fact, the entire Spurs team is very powerful. The Spurs can become a strong team for ten years. A very important point is that the coach comes first. There are no privileged players. Look at Duncan, he can become a player like Kobe Bryant and Sun Yat-sen." He is a star player like Zhuo, but he is often scolded by Popovich in the team. After the scolding, others think it is okay and will turn around to tease Popovich. Duncan is so good at coaching, so Popovich can turn this team into a star player. The Spurs have become the strongest team in the league. I think that if Duncan gets old or retires in the future, even if the Spurs management can still be discerning in picking good rookies, even if Popovich can still play this European style. It is difficult for the Spurs to guarantee that they will compete for the championship every year."

Yu Jia deeply agreed: "Tim Duncan is indeed excellent, and the relationship between him and his coaches and teammates is indestructible. On the contrary, the Magic are a little worse. Even when they perform normally, it feels like Howard and Sun Zhuo Alley-ooping or performing together will create a better understanding. If the Magic want to build a dynasty, they still need to learn more from the Spurs."

In fact, in this game, Yu Jia and Zhang Weiping felt that Sun Zhuo and Howard were playing their own roles. Fortunately, the Magic couldn't win this game. If the Magic were to win this game, they would have to decide who will be the FMVP soon. I'm afraid the scene will be different. More difficult to control.

As a result, the fifth game ended with the Spurs chasing 2:3.

In this game, Sun Zhuo scored 24 points and Howard scored 22 points. Howard still had the advantage in rebounds and blocks, and Sun Zhuo still had more assists.

After five games, Sun Zhuo and Howard still have the same probability of winning FMVP.

…

After five games, the Magic, Spurs, including David Stern, Bill Russell, and media reporters all rushed from San Antonio to Orlando to prepare for the next sixth game.

Although they failed to return to Orlando with the championship, when they arrived in Orlando, there were still many fans who picked them up and cheered them on. They recorded 2 wins and 1 loss in three consecutive away games, which is already a very good result.

Everyone knows that if they enter the tiebreaker, home and away games will no longer be so important. Everyone predicts that the Magic will go all out to win the championship in Game 6.

Game 6 may be the last game of the season!

On June 18, in Game 6 of the Finals, at the home court of the Orlando Magic, Magic fans shouted excitedly, eager to win their second championship.

Players from both teams, the Magic and the Spurs, are also serious, especially Dwight Howard.

"This may be the last game of the series. Until now, I still have a chance to win FMVP. As long as in this game, my data can beat Sun..."

At the beginning of the season, even before the finals started, Howard didn't have the ambition or courage to win the FMVP at all, but Popovich gave him this ambition, and his agent Fagan also gave him the courage, which made Howard simply become unsatisfactory. So simple, he no longer just wants to play happy basketball, follow Sun Zhuo to win the championship, and laugh on the sidelines, he wants to be the protagonist.

And Sun Zhuo really wants to end this series within six games. There is no way, the opponent is too strong. If the Spurs drag them to the tiebreaker, the Magic will be in danger.

However, although Sun Zhuo and Howard both think of six games to resolve the battle, the "sixth game" they think of is different.

The sixth game that Howard thinks is the one in front of him, and the sixth game that Sun Zhuo thinks is the one in which Sun Zhuo will repeat the challenge card after this game.

In this game, the Spurs will definitely do their best to drag the series to the seventh game. Therefore, the probability of the Magic losing is very high, and Sun Zhuo has long been ready to use the last remaining challenge card. .

At this time, Sun Zhuo remembered that he still had a special training card that was useless.

"If there is a game repeat challenge card, there is no need to use the special training card." Sun Zhuo currently has a game repeat challenge card plus 9 special training card fragments. If he can successfully challenge O'Neal's last challenge, he will It was possible to collect two of them, but now Sun Zhuo feels that he won't be able to use them in the finals, so they are useless. Using one alone will have very little effect.

Before the game started, everyone was having a lively discussion. Most of the Magic fans wore uniforms, but Kobe and Wade, who were in the VIP seats on the sidelines, were natural exceptions as they were Lakers and Heat players.

Kobe glanced at Carey Mulligan next to him and asked: "Kerry, Sun may be winning the championship today. Has he told you where he will take you to play in the offseason after winning the championship? You can't go there. It's been too long, Dwyane Wade and I have been in Orlando, waiting to train with Sun."

Kerry smiled sweetly and said: "We didn't plan to go on vacation anywhere, but he did tell me that after the finals, he would go out for a few days to deal with some things."

"How many days are you going out? Where are you going? What are you dealing with?" Wade and Kobe were both confused.

Kerry shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

The innocence of Kerry prevented Wade and Kobe from seeing the elements of deception. Wade couldn't help but joke: "There are rumors that he played in a secret league in China. You don't even know what he is doing when he goes out this time. I’m afraid it has something to do with this, right?”

Kerry was a little at a loss. The more embarrassed she was as a woman and she didn't know how to respond, the harder she would laugh: "I don't know, I really don't know about this secret league you are talking about, you are all Sun’s best brother, if he has any secrets, I think he will tell you.”

"Haha, I'm just kidding, Kerry." Wade smiled.

The game started quickly, and what everyone thought was the final battle made everyone hold their breath and focus on the changes on the field in the first minute of the game.

The Spurs launched their first attack, and Sun Zhuo watched carefully from the sidelines so that he could have a chance to perform again.

However, the Spurs' first attack was when Duncan singled out Howard and made an outside shot. This made Sun Zhuo a little melancholy. I'm afraid this situation will still be unavoidable if it happens again.

After that, it was the Magic's turn to attack. At this time, the Spurs did not dare to specifically block Sun Zhuo or Howard. Naturally, they were the most heavily defended, but not to the level of targeting before.

Sun Zhuo's shooting from COSCO still didn't pose much of a threat. In addition, he also intended to play this game as an experiment. His scoring increased very slowly, not much different from Howard.

"Sun Zhuo is in average condition today, this is my chance! If the data is better than his in this game, I will be the MVP!" Howard saw that Sun Zhuo didn't go crazy with the data, which gave him hope, so he was very excited.

"The rebound is mine!" Howard once again grabbed the offensive rebound from Duncan. His rebound is also the guarantee for the Magic to win or eventually win the championship.

"Dwight!" Sun Zhuo called Howard from behind, wanting him to pass out and organize another attack.

However, Howard did not listen to Sun Zhuo and did not pass it to Sun Zhuo or anyone. After getting the rebound, he directly attacked Duncan in singles. But how could Duncan be so easy to deal with? It was immediately blocked.

The block was not fierce. Howard got the ball again. Sun Zhuo called Howard's name again. This reminded Howard of last year's finals. Howard, who was still considered a "rookie", was beaten by Sun Zhuo again and again in the finals. Zhuo called his name. Every time he heard Sun Zhuo's voice, Howard would habitually tremble. He was afraid of being blamed and being given such a big responsibility by the team.

At that time, Howard reported to Coach Hill afterwards that he was under a lot of pressure. Coach Hill coaxed and deceived and finally stabilized Howard, allowing Howard to survive and eventually win the championship.

But today, Howard no longer wanted to be dominated by Sun Zhuo.

"I want to fight myself!" Howard hit Duncan again after being blocked.

boom!

Howard vigorously filled the frame, but Duncan had been knocked down by Howard, and the referee also called Howard a foul.

"Is this guy crazy?" Sun Zhuo didn't expect Howard to be so aggressive, but given the competitive relationship between the two, he didn't say anything.

Upon seeing this, Turkoglu stepped forward and said to Howard: "Pay attention to the foul, Dwight, don't hit again."

This failure did not stop Howard's radical play. Seeing that Sun Zhuo's statistics were average today, he was still excited to perform actively from offense to defense.

Sun Zhuo also saw all this.

"Howard, I didn't expect you to compete for FMVP with me so blatantly. In the past two years, we have gotten along very well. I took you to the finals, brought you to Jiaozuo, and played happy basketball with you. I thought you would recognize it. I knew my role clearly, but I didn’t expect…”

Sun Zhuo was a little sad. He didn't know whether he would continue to cooperate with Howard in the future or how long they could stay together.

"Howard, let me let you fantasize for a while longer. No matter how many points you score, how many rebounds or blocks you get now, it is meaningless. I will destroy it soon."

"I also hope that my hatred for you at the moment can be destroyed at the same time."
