Super Legendary Superstar

Speaking of players in the league who are physically strong and fight fiercely, Artest must be the first choice for many people. But in terms of muscles and the most intuitive appearance, Artest is simply not as good as Karl Malone. He is just a little brother, on the same level as Iguodala, who is about to enter the NBA this year, and cannot be compared to Karl Malone.

How could Artest not know how powerful Karl Malone is? That was the beast that fought with his idol Rodman back then. Although he never saw him fighting on the court, his elbow was definitely not a joke.

When Karl Malone asked, Artest did not dare to shout any more and said to Karl Malone: ​​"I have no interest in playing against an old guy who is about to retire. My opponent tonight is not you."

After saying that, Artest walked away first.

Karl Malone glanced at the opponent with disdain, and then encouraged Sun Zhuo: "The idea is good, the dunk is beautiful, this is how you should respond to that kid."

Karl Malone also wants to teach Artest a lesson and let him know that the league is not a place for these young people to do whatever they want, and he has not retired yet!

After that, Artest's resentment against Sun Zhuo deepened. Since the big words he had given up had already been broken by Sun Zhuo, Artest did not dare to make bold statements again and said that he would not let Sun Zhuo score for fear of being slapped in the face again by Sun Zhuo. But on defense, Artest worked harder than before, and his movements began to become bigger.

Not only in terms of preventing Sun Zhuo from catching the ball and preventing Sun Zhuo from scoring, even when fighting for rebounds, Artest refused to give in. Throughout the first quarter, Artest defended like a dog-skin plaster. , Sun Zhuo didn't grab a rebound. Instead, some backcourt rebounds bounced towards his position and were snatched away by Artest. Everyone could see that Artest's performance was obviously He just used his body and experience to bully Sun Zhuo.

This time the Pacers attacked, O'Neal Jr. missed the shot, and the ball bounced towards Sun Zhuo and Artest. Sun Zhuo had a chance to get the rebound immediately, but Artest suddenly came from behind. He squeezed over, and his arms pushed and even hit Sun Zhuo's back. Sun Zhuo could clearly feel the fierce force, but in the end, the referee simply ignored the contact and Artest, who pushed Sun Zhuo away, quickly stepped forward. After getting the ball, he completed a second score.

This was not the first time that Artest snatched a rebound from Sun Zhuo's head. Artest was very proud and shouted to Sun Zhuo: "Thanks to your teammates, you scored today. But rebounds, don’t even think about grabbing one today!”

Haha, Artest is really ruthless. After clamoring to prevent Sun Zhuo from scoring but failed, now he clamored to prevent Sun Zhuo from grabbing rebounds.

It is easier to score with the help of teammates, but when grabbing rebounds, Sun Zhuo is always alone, and there is no cooperation with this thing. Artest is close to Sun Zhuo and never leaves. It seems that if Artest didn't let up, and Sun Zhuo really didn't seem to have a chance to get the rebound.

But how can it be difficult to defeat Sun Zhuo?

"Childish." Sun Zhuo replied to Artest. Even if he hasn't figured out how to get rid of Artest and grab the rebound, he still has this confidence. What he is best at is finding a way out of nowhere. Come.

Soon, Sun Zhuo came up with a plan.

Jermaine O'Neal of the Pacers was shooting a free throw at the free throw line. Sun Zhuo was standing on the side where Artest was standing. The two were next to each other. O'Neal Jr. had a bad touch and missed the first free throw. It looked like, The miss on the second free throw was also huge.

Artest had no idea that Sun Zhuo would come up with the bold idea of ​​grabbing a rebound during the free throw, and Sun Zhuo did something very covert, making Artest completely unaware.

Artest predicted that teammate O'Neal might miss two free throws. He was ready to fight for the rebound and was currently only focusing on rebounding.

At this time, Sun Zhuo made a very natural bending action and put his hands on his knees. This action did not attract Artest's slightest attention because it was already the second quarter and Sun Zhuo was the starter and had played a long time. , it is normal to bend down a little to relax when you are tired. It is okay even if a player who has just taken the field does this action.

However, no one thought that Sun Zhuo's real intention in doing this action was to untie Artest's shoelaces!

Yes, Sun Zhuo wants to imitate the scene where JR Smith untied Marion's shoelaces in 2014!

This is the only way to deal with Artest!

Artest's entire eyes were on his teammate O'Neal, and he had no idea that Sun Zhuo had untied his shoelaces. Speaking of which, Sun Zhuo also did it very covertly, and he did it very quickly, completing it in an instant.

Of course, untying the opponent's shoelaces is a dangerous thing on the basketball court. Sun Zhuo hates Artest's stalking and those foul moves, but he also doesn't want Artest to be injured. .

So, when O'Neal was about to make a free throw, Sun Zhuo suddenly said to Artest: "Your shoelaces are untied."

Artest originally thought that this was Sun Zhuo's words to disturb him, but when he lowered his head and looked, oh my god, the shoelaces were really untied, who untied them!

boom!

When Artest was panicking, O'Neal Jr. had already taken action. As everyone expected, he missed the free throw again this time.

The basketball happened to bounce to the side of Sun Zhuo and Artest. Unfortunately, Artest was completely distracted by the shoelaces and didn't even dare to jump. So, Sun Zhuo naturally followed Artest. Te grabbed the ball above his head, then quickly came down and started a fast break with Kobe. Finally, Kobe assisted Sun Zhuo to score!

A rebound and a goal once again made Artest's arrogance a joke!

Artest was so angry that he tied up his shoelaces and went to find Sun Zhuo to argue. At this time, the two were far apart. His teammates and the referee completely blocked Artest from approaching Sun Zhuo. Artest received a foul because of this. Others got nothing.

"I'm so angry. This rookie Sun Zhuo is so angry with me. He dares to untie my shoelaces on the court! Isn't this just like pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth? Isn't he afraid that I will eat him?"

During halftime, Artest was furious in the locker room and cursed Sun Zhuo angrily.

Jermaine O'Neal smiled and said: "Ron, I don't think he is afraid of you at all. Your little moves can't cause any harm or shock to him at all. Don't forget, he is the same as Shaq, Kobe, Karl Malone, Guys like Payton are messy and very mentally strong. If you really want to teach him a lesson, I think your actions should be upgraded."

The implication of O'Neal Jr. is to ask Artest to be more vicious with Sun Zhuo's actions!

Artest gritted his teeth: "Okay, then I will teach him a lesson and let him know how powerful I am!"

In the third quarter, Sun Zhuo's score tended to exceed 10 points. This was a bit embarrassing for Artest, the best defensive player, because Sun Zhuo did not use his unsolvable relying on shooting. Artest has never let up on Sun Zhuo's defense.

At the same time, Sun Zhuo showed no fear or weakness in the matchup with Artest. Every time he fought for rebounds and every time he caught the ball, he fought with Artest. During the fight, he also had to Endure the impact of Artest's strong muscles.

"I feel like my body will be disabled after this game." Sun Zhuo said bitterly. Artest made too many tricks and was very strong. With Sun Zhuo's current strength, it would be too much of a disadvantage to fight against him.

But Sun Zhuo never meant to admit defeat. When dealing with such a person, once he compromises once, he will be laughed at by the other party for the rest of his life.

Sun Zhuo originally thought that these small actions would be tolerated, but he didn't expect that Artest's beast nature would be revealed in Sun Zhuo, a rookie.

Sun Zhuo coincidentally got an air-cut opportunity. Just as he was about to go to the basket and dunk again, Artest quickly stepped forward behind him, but instead of going for the ball, he went straight to Sun Zhuo's body and jumped. He stood up and fiercely pushed Sun Zhuo in the air to the ground!

Artest will not know that Sun Zhuo has the attributes of a game character.

He wouldn't even know that this game also includes the ability to fight!
