Super Legendary Superstar

The 2008 NBA All-Star Game was held at the New Orleans Arena, home of the New Orleans Hornets, Louisiana. This was the first time New Orleans hosted an All-Star Game and the first time the city had experienced Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Host professional competitions.

On February 17th, all-star players from the East and West gathered in the arena, and the stars were also bright on the sidelines.

Before this, the Rookie Game, Three-Point Contest and Slam Dunk Contest have been held. The last Slam Dunk Contest was hailed as the most exciting dunk contest in history. Sun Zhuo also established the best dunk in history in the last Slam Dunk Contest. The status of king.

Although this dunk contest is not as good as the previous one, it is still very enjoyable to watch, especially Dwight Howard's performance, which conquered the audience.

He is the champion of this year's slam dunk contest. From the first dunk, he showed his super talent and amazing creativity. When explaining, Charles Barkley said that Howard's creativity is the same as that of Sun Zhuo. level, and their talent in creativity is at least one level higher than other players.

Howard's first dunk was from behind the basket, and then his body was behind the backboard, but he caught the ball and dunked in a windmill. If you look at it from the front, you can't see Howard's head at all, only a thick arm wrapped around it. Attack the rim, it's a slam dunk.

Howard's second dunk was also a full-score dunk. This dunk caused a sensation before it even started. When Howard took off his jersey, his Superman clothes were revealed. He transformed into a SUPERMAN general. The ball was smashed in, and the crowd was extremely excited.

Howard's third dunk was equally astonishing. He first threw it high to the basket, then caught the rebound, slapped the ball on the backboard with his left hand, and then dunked the ball with his right hand.

The last dunk was relatively less impressive, and it was also a goal that relied more on creativity.

On the court, as the starting center of the Western Conference All-Stars and the new Slam Dunk Contest champion, Dwight Howard is very active. Standing next to him are his Western Conference All-Star teammates including Allen Iverson, Carmelo Anthony, Tim Duncan, Yao Ming, Boozer, Nash, Nowitzki, Chris Paul, Roy, Stoudemire, David West, Kobe is the top vote-getter in the Western Conference, but did not participate in this game due to injury.

"How do you want to dunk today? Tell me in advance and I will pass the ball to you." Iverson looked up at the very active Howard. Howard moved from the East to the West and had a lot to talk with these new teammates. .

"Haha, thank you, Allen, let's see how Sun Zhuo dunks on the opposite side. After he dunks, I want to respond to him with the same action." Howard laughed. In this game, Howard also valued the relationship between him and Sun Zhuo very much. Personal duel, because the All-Star Game is a stage that competes with performance and creativity. When it comes to creativity, no one here can compare with Sun Zhuo and Howard.

"No problem." Iverson smiled and high-fived Howard.

This year’s Eastern Conference dugout seems less active. This is different from the past few years. In the past, the Western Conference was dull and the Eastern Conference was active. This is because the players in the Eastern Conference are very young and concentrated in the 2003 and 2004 generation. They have a personal relationship with each other. All are very good, but in this year's Eastern Conference, Howard has left, and O'Neal has not been selected for the All-Stars for the first time in 15 years. Both of them are very active players.

Furthermore, Garnett and Ray Allen joined the Eastern Conference and were selected as All-Stars together with Pierce. Rivers is also the coach of the Eastern Conference. The Eastern Conference seems to be dominated by the Celtics. Garnett is a very serious player. Sun Zhuo was also the top vote-getter in this year's All-Star Game. For the first time, Sun Zhuo lost the title of top vote-getter in the All-Star Game.

Fortunately, Sun Zhuo also has two old friends, Wade and James. When the three of them get together, they are obviously a different group from the three of Garnett.

After the game started, Sun Zhuo started with Wade and James. Both of Garnett's partners were substitutes, so he alone could not control the situation. The Eastern Conference was still dominated by Sun Zhuo.

As for the Western Conference, since Kobe Bryant is not playing and Anthony is not as popular and capable as Howard, who is currently in the limelight, the Western Conference's style of play is biased towards giving the ball to Howard.

Wade, Sun Zhuo, and James are all representatives of extremely talented people, and they are also players who can finish the ball to the basket as quickly as possible. Together, the three of them are really invincible. Once one person completes the steal , you don’t have to think about chasing and defending, no one can catch up with the speed of the three of them.

James stole the ball first and quickly passed it to Wade. Sun Zhuo also immediately started running. Wade quickly reached the basket and then hit the basketball on the backboard. Sun Zhuo caught the rebound ball and turned his back to the basket. Glide dunk.

This kind of cooperation is just the regular cooperation operation of the three people in the 2003 generation. What is surprising is that after Sun Zhuo dunked on the back, in the next round of the Western Team, Iverson also gave Howard an alley-oop. I also played an identical back button.

"He seems to be imitating you." James said to Sun Zhuo.

"That's called provocation. Why don't you show him something awesome?" Garnett, a teammate, also looked at Sun Zhuo.

Sun Zhuo did not answer Garnett. He knew that Garnett still hated him and Artest because of the conflict between Artest and Pierce.

Sun Zhuo didn't really want to target Howard, maybe because it was too easy to beat him. Just a free throw line jump dunk or a mid-air crotch dunk, and Howard was defeated. As a dunk contest champion, Howard was defeated. Although his movements also received many perfect scores, they are not on the same level as Sun Zhuo.

"Since Howard wants to imitate, let's do some actions that he can imitate." Sun Zhuo knows Howard's big boy character, and Howard just wants to prove that he can become better without Sun Zhuo.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Zhuo received a pass from Wade and got the ball in the air. Instead of dunking the ball directly into the basket, he first pulled the ball down, paused in the air, and then lifted it up for a dunk.

Howard also laughed after seeing it: "So that's what he did."

Howard knows this kind of action and can do it himself.

Soon, Howard and his teammates in the Western Conference looked at each other and told them to send him such an alley-oop whenever they had the opportunity. At this time, Sun Zhuo also communicated with Wade.

"Steal his ball." Sun Zhuo whispered in Wade's ear, and Wade also guessed what Howard was going to do next.

When the basketball was thrown high to the basket, Howard got the ball with one hand. When everyone was watching Howard dunk, Wade had quietly come behind Howard. When Howard just imitated Sun Zhuo and pulled the basketball down, bang, Wade Jumping out like lightning, he quickly and accurately cut off the basketball. When Howard raised his arm, he realized that there was no basketball in his hand.

"Sun!" Wade quickly passed the ball to Sun Zhuo outside the three-point line.

At this time, Anthony reacted quickly and stood in front of Sun Zhuo immediately, preventing Sun Zhuo from launching a fast attack.

Sun Zhuo jumped up to catch the ball. While he was in the air, he started to turn, his body turned around Anthony, and then he threw the ball forward from Anthony's back with his low hand.

At this time, James had strode across the midfield, received Sun Zhuo's pass, and glided to the free throw line for a dunk!

From the steal to the final dunk, it only took three seconds.

"The combination of Dwyane Wade, Eric Sun and LeBron James is really terrifying. They are the most terrifying fast break trio in the world. If they were on the same team, it would be really scary. Imagine.”

Howard was very depressed, and then he realized that Sun Zhuo's dunk just now was deliberately set up for him. If Howard really wants to compete with Sun Zhuo, it will not only be a competition between their two people's abilities and creativity, but also a competition between teammates. It seems that Howard's teammates in the Western Conference really can't be compared with Wade and James.

Even Garnett is worried: "If we, the Celtics, will dominate the league in the next few years, there is no guarantee that the three of them will not join forces to defeat us!"

If these three people are combined together, not even three, even just two of them, and then paired with an All-Star center, it will definitely be more powerful than the Celtics' Big Three.

Rivers, the coach of the Eastern Stars, watched these three people on the court display their talents and was very envious in his heart. However, at this time, he went to Paul Pierce on the bench and said: "Don't be affected by their performance. You come here." It’s just for relaxation, you don’t have to take it too seriously, you know?”

Pierce was hit hard by Artest's elbow before. This was not long after his comeback. Coach Rivers didn't want Pierce to work too hard.

"I know, coach." Pierce is a player who refuses to admit defeat, but at this time, he can only endure it. The All-Star is not his stage, it is the stage of Sun Zhuo and James, but in the playoffs, it is different. .

"In the playoffs, I'm going to kill you one by one!" Pierce sat off the court, looking at Wade, James and Sun Zhuo, feeling jealous in his heart.

In this year's All-Star Game, without Kobe, McGrady or O'Neal, Sun Zhuo played very poorly. Howard, who wanted to compete with Sun Zhuo, was not qualified enough.

In the end, the Western Conference won the game, and Carmelo Anthony, who scored the most points, won his first AMVP.

After the All-Star Game, each team began to compete for the playoff rankings. McGrady was definitely the most outstanding player among the players who were not selected for the All-Star Game that season. After the All-Star Game, he led the team to help the Rockets win 22 consecutive games. During the season At the beginning, McGrady also averaged 30+ per game and 40+ many times. In the regular season MVP rankings, McGrady was finally promoted to the top four.

Of course, McGrady questioned the safety issues in New Orleans when facing the media, and had long said that even if he was selected, he would not necessarily go.

This is a pity in Sun Zhuo's view, because in his previous life, 2007 was the last time McGrady was selected for the All-Stars. From now on, he will never be seen on the All-Star stage again.

This made Sun Zhuo feel nostalgic. He recalled that when he participated in the All-Star Game for the first time, McGrady was very popular and was the most popular player in the All-Star Game. Everyone was looking forward to his performance. In just a few years, He has been replaced.

In the next more than a month, Sun Zhuo led the team to the rankings while participating in the Superstar Challenge. Kobe's 82 points in a single game and Iverson's 60 points in a single game were both completed by Sun Zhuo. The number of training card fragments has also been increased from 2 to 8. Just wait for new stars to appear in the Superstar Challenge, and you can exchange for another special training card.

This season, Sun Zhuo is not competitive enough to compete for the regular season MVP. Sun Zhuo's personal data is still unmatched in the league. His personal points, dunks per game, and three-pointers in a single season are all ranked first in the league. , but the Magic's record is not good enough, and Sun Zhuo has won the regular season MVP twice in a row, everyone is more inclined to change their choices this year.

Kobe and Paul are the two people competing most fiercely for MVP this season.

After Gasol came to the Lakers, the Lakers became No. 1 in the Western Conference. In fact, before Gasol came, Kobe Bryant led these soldiers and generals to win the No. 1 Western Conference. Although in less than 24 hours, young Paul This season he played with MVP strength, and James originally wanted to compete for the regular season MVP this season, but he knew very well that James would not be able to get the MVP if Kobe didn't get it first.

…

On April 16, 2008, the regular season officially ended.

Sun Zhuo continued to win the scoring title with an average of 34.6 points per game, and this season, he made 310 three-pointers in a single season, breaking Ray Allen's single-season record of 269 three-pointers.

In the Eastern Conference, the Magic's regular season record is only ranked third. The first is the Boston Celtics with 66 wins and 16 losses. The second is the Detroit Pistons. The fourth is the Cleveland Cavaliers, then the Washington Wizards and the Toronto Raptors. , Philadelphia 76ers and Atlanta Hawks.

The Magic's first-round opponent will be the Toronto Raptors.

In the West, the Los Angeles Lakers have once again become the first team in the West. The New Orleans Hornets are on the rise under Paul's leadership and have the same record as the San Antonio Spurs. The Utah Jazz are ranked fourth, followed by Houston. Rockets, Phoenix Suns, Dallas Mavericks and Denver Nuggets.

On April 20, the Magic welcomed the Raptors at home for the first game of the playoffs. The Raptors were not a strong opponent, even without Kevin Durant and Artest. With special help, Sun Zhuo can defeat them alone. Therefore, in this series, Sun Zhuo does not intend to use conventional methods to solve the problem, but wants to train Durant's playoff scoring ability more.

The Raptors just think that the Magic is Sun Zhuo's team, and they only need to guard Sun Zhuo well. However, they don't know that the one who wants to slay the dragon is not Sun Zhuo, but Durant.

"KD, in this series, I want you to average more than 25 points per game. I will keep passing the ball to you. Can you do it?" Sun Zhuo didn't say this until the first game of the playoffs was about to start. Ask for Durant.
