Super Legendary Superstar

Kobe and Wade also stared wide-eyed at the same time. Before this, they had no idea that the Magic had arranged for Sun Zhuo to play the center position.

CCTV, Yu Jia explained: "The Magic's starters are Jameer Nelson, Monta Ellis, Danny Granger, Turkoglu and Sun Zhuo. Sun Zhuo is placed at the center position, and Zhang Guidance, it seems that Sun Zhuo never played center when he was in China, right?"

Zhang Weiping said: "No, he is positioned as a small forward. He was also thin when he was in China. His strength is not that strong. He has neither height nor weight. He cannot play as a center at all. But after arriving in the United States, Sun Zhuo's strength increased. It's especially obvious, but even so, playing center still feels a bit forced."

Yu Jiadao: "Magic Johnson seems to have also played as a center in the finals. If I remember correctly, he scored 42+15."

"Yes, it was Magic Johnson's rookie season. It was indeed amazing, but Magic cannot be regarded as a real center. Sun Zhuo is probably the same as Magic this time, just a center in name." Zhang Weiping was also curious in his heart. Magic is a center. What kind of lineup can be played? Can Sun Zhuo cope with Tim Duncan?

At the scene, everything in the arena became extremely quiet. Dwight Howard's foot injury was not healed at all, but he still arrived at the scene wearing a suit. Like the audience, they were all looking forward to what Sun Zhuo could do as a center.

Sun Zhuo and Duncan jumped for the ball. They were at a height disadvantage and naturally failed to compete. The Spurs launched their first attack.

When Tony Parker was holding the ball, he was obviously two beats slower than usual. He was thinking: "Is this guy Sun crazy? Is he really going to play center and defend Tim Duncan alone? Okay, I'll let Tim play." Let’s blast you!”

Faced with such an advantage inside, Parker had no reason not to give the ball to Duncan, but when Parker wanted to pass it to Duncan, he was stunned.

I saw Sun Zhuo and Duncan constantly using their bodies to get rid of each other in the low post. Duncan wanted to squeeze Sun Zhuo behind to catch the ball, but Sun Zhuo went around in front of Duncan again and again, pressing Duncan firmly behind him and preventing Duncan from letting go. catch the ball.

When James saw the entanglement between the two, he couldn't help but sigh: "Sun really fought hard!"

In fact, as a striker, James has done this before competing with the center for position in the interior. This scene is like James and Gasol desperately competing for position.

As a seasoned inside player, Duncan has played against countless great and powerful inside players. Now facing Sun Zhuo, who is 2.03 meters tall, he suddenly seemed a little at a loss and was unable to completely suppress Sun Zhuo.

Today's Sun Zhuo's strength is at the SS level. To put it bluntly, it is above Duncan and the strongest strength level in the entire NBA. I am afraid that only O'Neal at his peak can compete. Duncan wants to use his strength to squeeze Sun Zhuo away. Zhuo, naturally it is not that easy to do.

"Damn, he's so difficult to deal with!" Duncan was a little distressed, but he knew that Sun Zhuo was a guest center today, and the team must attack from his point of view. If he doesn't attack this time, he will attack next time. In this case, it doesn't matter. It is better to fight to the position early and let Sun Zhuo recognize the gap between them, so as not to make Sun Zhuo more confident in playing.

So, Duncan also tried his best. After being squeezed back by Sun Zhuo again, he suddenly squeezed Sun Zhuo away again!

boom!

At this moment, Sun Zhuo suddenly fell to the ground, and the referee immediately blew the whistle, calling Duncan a foul.

The power of Sun Zhuo's SS is definitely not something that Duncan can easily shake. This time, Sun Zhuo is just showing weakness deliberately and pretending to be no match for Duncan. Although Sun Zhuo has the power of SS, in appearance, he is not that scary. This is exactly what Sun Zhuo can take advantage of.

"What?" Duncan spread his hands and looked at the referee innocently. In fact, he also knew that he might have used too much force just now. Sun Zhuo might indeed be defeated, but it was definitely a performance.

"Well done!" Teammates also stepped forward to high-five Sun Zhuo.

Howard was a little disdainful off the court: "The purpose of playing center in the away game is to trick Tim Duncan into fouling, right? I knew he couldn't play the real center position, it was just a routine."

There are many people who have the same idea as Howard. After all, Sun Zhuo does have a physical disadvantage, and Sun Zhuo always has a lot of tricks and often makes some unexpected moves. Even Tony Parker reminded Duncan on the court: "Be careful of fouls. , he has no ability to fight you one-on-one, he just wants to trick you into fouling."

Duncan nodded. However, after playing in the playoffs for so many years, Duncan is not a vegetarian. Even if Sun Zhuo wants to defeat Duncan, Duncan will make both Sun Zhuo and him lose. When the time comes, the Magic still can't win.

Next, it was the Magic's turn to attack. Sun Zhuo was now playing center and no longer took the initiative to control the ball. He let Monta Ellis and Nelson, two fast point guards, attack the inside. Sun Zhuo stepped forward to give Nelson a pass. During the pick-and-roll, Nelson broke through very resolutely, and Sun Zhuo immediately moved forward. Nelson quickly passed the ball to Sun Zhuo, but the Spurs were already prepared for this kind of cooperation. Sun Zhuo had no chance at all and was forced to pass out again.

At this time, Sun Zhuo had already reached the inside position, facing Tim Duncan.

After the ball was distributed, Sun Zhuo immediately blocked Duncan with his body and reached out to ask for the ball.

"Sun is going to beat Duncan in isolation under the basket!"

Duncan didn't care at all and didn't guard against Sun Zhuo catching the ball. He wanted to see how Sun Zhuo hit him!

The ball was passed to Sun Zhuo. After Sun Zhuo got the ball, he immediately hit Duncan with his back. Duncan was shocked and took a step back!

"What?"

Everyone was shocked!

Howard and Zhang Weiping were frightened because they thought Sun Zhuo was just a nominal center. When he got on the court, he didn't do what an orthodox center does. But with today's style of play, this is what the most standard center does! And it can only be done by dominant centers like O'Neal and Howard!

Duncan himself was frightened because he didn't expect Sun Zhuo to be so powerful!

Of course, Duncan didn't defend himself hard just now, thinking that he might have been negligent.

but!

Next, Duncan resisted Sun Zhuo with all his strength!

Knocked back again!

"What?" Popovich was so frightened that Duncan was so shocked that he withdrew from his position under the basket!

After Sun Zhuo knocked Duncan away, he immediately turned around and took off for a one-handed dunk!

boom!

Since Sun Zhuo entered the NBA, Sun Zhuo has dunked countless times, and there are many more amazing moves than this one, but none of his previous dunks scared everyone like today.

"Sun just pushed back Tim Duncan and completed a dunk? Is this true?"

"This is more than just replacing Dwight Howard? Dwight has never played Tim Duncan like this. This is simply the way O'Neal played in 2000!"

"It's fake! This is fake!"

Kobe, Wade, James, and Howard all had shocked expressions on their faces at this moment, not knowing what to say at all. This was too overbearing.

Kobe said: "The goal just made was something that 99% of the centers in the league couldn't do."

Wade said: "We have known for a long time that Sun has amazing strength. We should have seen it in the matches and fights in WWE. Tim Duncan should not have performed. In terms of strength, he is just no match for Sun."

James was a little frightened: "But if even Tim Duncan can't match Sun, then which inside player in the league can stop Sun's goal?"

Wade smiled and said: "I'm glad Sun is only 6 feet 8 inches."

James breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, if Sun Zhuo were ten centimeters taller, with Sun Zhuo's strength, he would definitely be able to ride inside. That would be another "big shark", and it would be far more versatile than O'Neal, the big shark. , you know, in terms of speed alone, Sun Zhuo is also the top player in the league.

"This is impossible, how could it be like this? Tim Duncan couldn't guard Sun after guarding him all the time? He still dunked him so close to the basket. No wonder he is so confident in playing center. This guy Sun..." Popovich Qi gritted his teeth with hatred and called a timeout on the spot.

The crowd immediately cheered and applauded Sun Zhuo's performance. Some people even changed the title of Sun Zhuo from "MVP" to "MDP".

Only inside players can talk about dominance. Sun Zhuo just gave people the impression of being a dominant center!

Spurs dugout.

After Tim Duncan sat down, he said to the coach: "Sun's strength is really terrifying. He can easily defeat me. Although I don't want to admit it, his strength is indeed superior to me and Dwight Howard."

Tony Parker stood there, frowning and puzzled: "But this is too strange, isn't it? Sun's size is obviously inferior to Tim and Dwight Howard, why is his strength higher than them? Is he..."

"Shut up, Tony, we are only discussing how to deal with what has happened on the court. Don't think about these things that have nothing to do with the game, not only here, but also after the game, especially when meeting the media." Povich knew what Parker wanted to say. Sun Zhuo's power made people feel weird. Parker thought Sun Zhuo had taken medicine, although Popovich's plan put the combination of Sun Zhuo and Howard in danger of falling apart. , but Popovich still doesn’t want Sun Zhuo to get into trouble off the court.

The game is a game, and life is life. In order to win the championship, Popovich can use all means on the court, but when it comes to matters off the court, Popovich is unwilling to hurt Sun Zhuo.

Popovich said to Duncan: "You should have understood Sun's strength before. He is not as weak as you thought, but he is not as strong as you think now. In addition, you have a height advantage and should not be beaten like this by him. .”

Duncan nodded: "It was a bit surprising just now. I won't let him score so easily next time."

The timeout was short. Popovich watched the Spurs players return to the court again without much worry: "Sun changed to playing center, which means he gave up trying his luck with three-pointers. This is better. With his height, It will be difficult to stay in the paint all the time, and the game will slowly come into our control.”

The game restarted, and it was the Spurs' turn to attack again. This time, Parker passed the ball resolutely, and Duncan was also decisive. With his height advantage, he still got the ball in the low post under Sun Zhuo's strict defense.

After that, Duncan and Sun Zhuo played one on one, back-to-back. Sun Zhuo was very strong and could ensure that Duncan would not get closer to the basket, but Duncan did not need to do this. He hit him twice symbolically. , immediately turned over and hooked!

Uh-huh!

Hit the ball!

"The height difference is 8 centimeters. Sun Zhuo can't guard against this kind of ball." Yu Jia shook his head gently.

Zhang Weiping also said: "Yes, it will be very easy for Duncan to fight Sun Zhuo. He does not need to repel Sun Zhuo and can complete the attack under Sun Zhuo's defense. On the contrary, it will be very difficult for Sun Zhuo to fight Duncan, because Sun Zhuo had to squeeze Duncan away before he dared to take action, and he had to keep calculating the height difference, otherwise he would be blocked."

Just now, Sun Zhuo got the ball deep under the basket, and then quickly knocked Duncan away to complete the dunk. Knowing Sun Zhuo's strength, the Spurs did not dare to let him get the ball in that position.

So, Sun Zhuo caught the ball slightly outside, and after getting the ball, he quickly hit Duncan.

"Sun's shooting is simply unsolvable. The Spurs must double-team him at this time!" When Kobe saw Sun Zhuo rely on beating Duncan, he knew what Sun Zhuo was relying on.

James has the same idea as Kobe. They both know that once Sun Zhuo succeeds by playing, it doesn't matter whether the defender is an outside player or an inside player. No matter how tall the defender is, they will not be able to interfere with his shooting.

How could Popovich not know this? This is also a headache for Popovich. Originally, there would be no problem with Duncan guarding Sun Zhuo, but if Sun Zhuo relies on shooting, he must let another person double-team.

Bowen quickly rushed over to double-team Sun Zhuo.

At this time, on the other side of the basket, Danny Granger had already jumped up and rushed towards the basket. Sun Zhuo made a high throw, and Granger succeeded in an alley-oop dunk!

"Beautiful! As long as Sun Zhuo pulls Duncan out, there will be no one under the basket. Danny Granger's talent is quite strong." Yu Jiadao.

Zhang Weiping nodded lightly, but said: "The cooperation is good. Both the Spurs and Magic are scoring now, but the Spurs' scoring is replicable. They can play like this every ball, but the Magic's scoring is a bit tricky. This alley-oop If you succeed, it won’t be so easy next time.”

Popovich was equally unimpressed, "How many combinations have you come up with with Sun as the center? Use them all, Coach Hill."

Playing ball after ball is completely more important than defense and stability. The Spurs are not afraid of magic at all.

On the next ball, Sun Zhuo caught the ball and instantly turned his back and passed Duncan, and scored two points in the paint. However, in the eyes of the three Kobe Bryants, they could no longer see the kind of exclamation towards Sun Zhuo. Instead, they all showed doubts.

"How long can Sun continue to score like this? It won't take long before Duncan will figure out all of Sun's tricks to beat the big ones. How will Sun fight then?" James is the same height as Sun Zhuo and has about the same strength. Now seeing Sun Zhuo, He is the one who empathizes most with Zhuo playing center. Even he feels that Sun Zhuo cannot last long like this. It is too difficult. This is not what Sun Zhuo James should do at all.

Wade said with a smile: "If Sun can beat the Spurs in this way, then he can be called the number one center in the league."
