Super Legendary Superstar
Chapter 435 I praise you!
Even Michael Jordan has not been re-elected as the regular season MVP for three consecutive years. With the globalization of the NBA, there are more and more superstars. Even if Sun Zhuo performs equally well every year, it will be difficult for him to dominate this award for three consecutive years.
Kobe and James are also superstars in the league, and they have not won the MVP. With similar performances, they are more competitive than Sun Zhuo.
And Chris Paul will also have a big breakout this season. In his previous life, he averaged 21+4+12+2.7 per game, ranking first in the league in assists and steals.
Fresh things are always more attractive. Sun Zhuo has been in the league for four years and won three more championships. He is considered half an old man. What's more, the Magic will lose Howard this season and their record will definitely not be very good. , there are so many games in the regular season, you can't rely on Sun Zhuo to take care of every game. This is unrealistic, and Durant is still a rookie and he also needs to grow.
Before the start of the season, Sun Zhuo had already thought about this problem. He would naturally strive for the regular season MVP, but he didn't care whether he could get it. For him, the most important thing is the championship, and he must complete it. A three-peat.
…
Houston, Texas.
The defending champion Orlando Magic will visit this city soon to challenge the Houston Rockets away from home. The night before the game day, the Magic's Kevin Durant came to Houston a day early and played at 9 o'clock in the evening. At that time, I came to an outdoor basketball court.
"Wow! 'Jimmy Jordan' is so strong. He should be the legendary 'Jimmy Jordan'. From his basketball level to the appearance and figure described in the rumors, it all fits perfectly, doesn't it?"
"Yes, I also think he is very strong. Why doesn't he go to the NBA to play?"
There were many spectators on the sidelines of the basketball court. Most of them were junior high school students and high school students, who looked extremely admiring to a man wearing a mask on the court.
"Is that the guy pretending to be Jimmy Jordan?" Durant had quietly appeared on the court. Because of his tall stature, he was immediately noticed by these children.
"Oh, here comes another big man! How come he...why does he look so much like Kevin Durant, who only entered the NBA this year?"
"He is Kevin Durant! Is he here to challenge 'Jimmy Jordan'? I heard that in the summer, they challenged Kobe and James together. They should know each other..."
Durant's reputation is quite good, and he was recognized by these children as soon as he appeared.
Durant walked directly towards the man wearing a mysterious mask. Standing on the field, Durant's aura became surprisingly powerful: "Man, what's the point of playing with a group of amateurs? Take off the mask and come with me." How about a one-on-one match?"
"Kevin Durant!" The man wearing a mask seemed to recognize Durant and became a little frightened.
The rumored Jimmy Jordan even defeated the teams of Kobe and James. If he is really Jimmy Jordan, then he should not be afraid of Durant.
"Kevin, long time no see. Do you still remember when we were at Sun's house and defeated Kobe and LeBron? Think about it, it's like it happened yesterday. Is there any need for another duel between us?" The man seemed to Deciding to pretend to be tough, I started chatting with Durant, put down the basketball in my hands, and took the initiative to give Durant a hug.
Under the slightly dim light, Durant looked at the man in front of him. Judging from his eyes, this guy really looked like Jimmy Jordan, but Durant knew that he was not. Jimmy Jordan was taller and stronger than him. .
But Durant didn't expose it at the scene. Before he could do so, he was "kindly" taken away from the scene by this man.
The two walked for ten minutes, and after making sure no one was following, the man took off his mask. Durant looked at the man. Except for his eyes, which were similar to Jimmy Jordan's, the other parts were not very similar. Jimmy Jordan's face was even more similar. Exquisite and more handsome, the man in front of him still looked very immature, probably only seventeen or eighteen years old.
"Who are you? Why are you pretending to be my friend Jimmy Jordan? You should know that I know him very well, so stop pretending in front of me." Durant asked bluntly.
The man replied: "I know you guys know each other. Thank you for not exposing me at the scene just now. My name is Jimmy Butler. I have never met Jimmy Jordan, but after hearing about his deeds, I admire him very much, and I Like him, my name is Jimmy, and I have a bit of a resemblance to Michael Jordan, so that’s why I did it.”
"You must have some purpose, right? I just saw you playing. You are very talented. You will definitely enter the NBA in the future, right? Do you want to use the name Jimmy Jordan to attract attention and let NBA teams Pay attention to you, so that you will get a good ranking in the NBA in the future." Durant realized that this matter was not that simple. Jimmy Butler should not be pretending to be Jimmy Jordan just for fun. Looking at his nervous look just now, And he didn't dare to go one-on-one with Durant, so he knew what this guy had planned.
When Durant didn't enter the NBA in the past few years, he had been paying attention to his rankings on draft websites, as every player who wants to enter the NBA would do.
Among the players who are not in the NBA now, O.J. Mayo and Beasley are the most famous, as well as Rose, Russell Westbrook and Blake Griffin. I have never heard of Jimmy Butler's name.
Jimmy Butler looked embarrassed and did not dare to speak. Durant said: "Jimmy, if you want to attract attention and get a good ranking, you have to rely on your own strength, rather than relying on other people's fame to improve yourself. Even now in the NBA So what if every team owner remembers you as Jimmy Butler? You have no value, and they won’t use you. Besides, getting a good ranking may not be of any use. Look at me, I was selected with the second overall pick in the first round this year, and now I'm still playing on the bench? Jimmy Jordan is my friend, don't pretend to be him again in the future."
Durant left after warning Jimmy Butler. He had a good impression of Jimmy Butler, and he might play in the same league in the future, so there was no need to make things too rigid.
An hour later, Sun Zhuo received an email from Durant. In the email, Durant described in detail what had just happened with Jimmy Butler.
Looking at the email, Sun Zhuo had a smile on his face: "It's exactly what I guessed. That guy is Jimmy Butler. I didn't expect that Durant helped me solve it without me having to intervene. Now I owe him a favor, so... Give it to him when I play against the Rockets next time. It's also a time for people to know that I still have helpers around me."
The game between the Magic and the Rockets is about to start. The Rockets' Tracy McGrady happens to be Durant's idol. Durant definitely wants to perform well in front of his idol. Sun Zhuo plans to help him this time.
The next day, at the Toyota Center Arena in Houston, the Rockets faced the Magic at home. Since the Rockets teamed up with Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, the MM team has never won the Western Conference championship, and it has never been considered a team at the same level as the Magic.
But the Magic lost Howard and their strength was greatly reduced, while the Rockets will play smoothly this season. In their previous life, they completed a 22-game winning streak this season and once became the favorite team to win the championship.
"The Magic are no longer a top team without Dwight. The Rockets have had a good start to the season. We can win this victory today."
"But Sun's three-point shooting has improved a lot, and it's really hard to get the ball rolling."
Many Rockets fans no longer view the Magic as a strong team. If Sun Zhuo had not just broken the single-quarter three-point field goal record and were more wary of Sun Zhuo's outside ability, I am afraid that this game would have been no suspense.
Before the game, Sun Zhuo noticed that Durant was a little different today and would always go to the Rockets dugout from time to time to take a look.
"Tracy McGrady is your idol, right?" Sun Zhuo stepped forward and asked.
Durant did not deny: "Yes, I have loved watching him play since I was 10 or 11 years old. He has had a great influence on me. I regard him as a template and have been imitating him."
Sun Zhuo nodded. When facing Durant, he was still used to acting very serious: "T-MAC's style is indeed unmatched. When I first entered the league, I thought he was extremely handsome. Even now I can even surpass him in scoring. When I face him, I feel a little inferior to him. We all admire T-MAC. The best way to greet those who admire is to score a lot in front of him. Point, let him remember you, I have done this before, so I will help you by the way today."
"Help me?" Durant was stunned for a moment. Would Sun Zhuo be willing to help him? He didn't even let Durant be the starter.
Furthermore, how can Sun Zhuo help?
Durant was still doubting that the game had already begun. He was still a substitute and had no chance to compete with Tracy McGrady in the starting lineup. This time, Marc Gasol was put into the starting lineup.
"Sun Zhuo, I thought we were playing against each other today." Yao Ming joked to Sun Zhuo with a smile. He actually admired Sun Zhuo's performance as a center forward.
Sun Zhuo is more than 20 centimeters behind Yao Ming. No matter how strong he is, it is useless. Yao Ming is good at shooting. He can just throw the ball after he gets it. Sun Zhuo will not do such stupid things to defend Yao Ming.
Marc Gasol is taller, stronger and tougher than his brother Pau Gasol, and he is very good defensively, but he still needs time to grow and adapt. He will not be of great help to the Magic this season, but it will be far more than everyone thinks. It's much more useful, Yao Ming felt it just two minutes after playing against Marc Gasol.
"Sun Zhuo, the Marc Gasol you picked is very good. You picked a treasure again in the second round." Yao Ming said to Sun Zhuo enviously.
Sun Zhuo smiled at Yao Ming. Yao Ming understood quite well. Most people still cannot see the upper limit of Marc Gasol's strength, and the Magic don't want their opponents to know the threat of Marc Gasol too early.
On the court, Sun Zhuo and McGrady have quickly started a superstar showdown. As early as the past two years, Sun Zhuo could win against McGrady in scoring competition. Now that he has strengthened his three-point ability, McGrady can no longer compare to Sun Zhuo.
In just one quarter, Sun Zhuo's personal score was 9 points more than Tracy McGrady.
"Sun Zhuo has improved again. Now I can't compare to him in scoring." McGrady saw Sun Zhuo's ease and ease when shooting three-pointers, and he was already a little ashamed of himself. McGrady will be 30 years old soon, and he has many I am injured and can no longer argue with young people about these things.
In fact, McGrady's personal strength is still very strong now, but his desire has dropped. He is more team-oriented and rarely performs individual shows. If McGrady is willing to have a good fight with Sun Zhuo, Sun Zhuo will be very happy. But since he doesn't want to, it would be meaningless for Sun Zhuo to score wildly on his own in this game. It would be better to help Durant and let Durant show off.
In the third quarter, Sun Zhuo and Durant began to cooperate on the court. At this time, the Rockets were still leading.
"Are you ready to perform in front of your idol?" Sun Zhuo asked Durant with a smile. This will be the first wonderful collaboration between Sun Zhuo and Durant!
"What?" Durant was still a little confused.
Sun Zhuo smiled and said no more. Next, he will continue to create excellent offensive opportunities for Durant, not just to let him score, but to let Durant fully display his talent. !
"After this battle, I want you to remember Kevin Durant's name and remember that he is on my team, Sun Zhuo!"
Sun Zhuo's eyes suddenly became more focused. Yao Ming touched McGrady with his arm after seeing it, "Look, Sun seems to be serious."
McGrady glanced at Sun Zhuo sleepily and said calmly: "It's his fifth season, but he can still ignite his fighting spirit at any time, this difficult guy."
Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady both thought that Sun Zhuo was going to perform an even crazier performance, but they didn't know that this time, Sun Zhuo was not doing it for himself, but for Durant.
The Magic wanted to chase points and strengthened their defense. Soon, Sun Zhuo took advantage of the opponent's mistakes and quickly stole the ball to start a fast break.
"Stop him!"
Tracy McGrady and Battier both ran towards Sun Zhuo. They both knew that Sun Zhuo's fast break was a big threat. They had just felt Sun Zhuo's sharp eyes and did not dare to be careless.
Unexpectedly, after Sun Zhuo attracted the defense, he did not make a strong move. After getting to the basket, he threw a high ball backwards.
McGrady and others glanced in the direction Sun Zhuo threw the ball, thinking: "The ball missed!"
Sun Zhuo threw the ball backward this time, not directly behind, but to the left rear. The throw was a bit biased. Everyone thought that Sun Zhuo's alley-oop cooperation with his teammates should have failed.
If Sun Zhuo was followed by Ariza or Granger, maybe the ball really wouldn't go in, but that person's name is Kevin Durant.
Durant took off right behind Sun Zhuo. After taking off, he was stunned for a moment, but he stretched out his left hand to grab the ball and still got the ball in his hand!
"What? Can you get this too? What kind of wingspan is this!" McGrady was completely dumbfounded.
After Durant got the ball with his left hand, he switched to his right hand in the air, glided to the basket, and dunked!
boom!
Although it was just an alley-oop, although it was only a two-pointer, it shocked all the Rockets players.
"This is simply BT!" Alston looked at Durant in shock, as did everyone else.
Even Durant's idol McGrady couldn't help but step forward and ask him: "How tall are you? Why are you playing shooting guard?"
Durant had no idea that a dunk would shock so many people, and they were stunned for a moment.
Sun Zhuo patted Durant and reminded: "From today on, you can call me my partner!"
