Super Legendary Superstar

Halftime, Magic locker room.

Everyone realized that this game was the battle between Sun Zhuo and Kobe for "No. 1 in the world". Although Sun Zhuo and Kobe were tied in the first half, the Magic team members believed that Sun Zhuo would win in the end. Zhuo, it will be the Magic who wins the game.

Not long ago, they all witnessed with their own eyes the scene when Sun Zhuo scored 70 points. He was really unstoppable. The Celtics couldn't stop Sun Zhuo from scoring, and the Los Angeles Lakers naturally didn't have this ability.

Artest, who had three fouls, said with a smile: "Sun, are you going to start to open up the gap in the second half? We will wait for you to enter the state, and then we will defeat the Lakers together."

Monta Ellis also looked relaxed: "I also think that in terms of personal strength, you have surpassed Kobe. He can no longer compete with you. There will be a winner in the second half."

Kevin Durant did not express an opinion. Kobe was a star he admired very much, but he had fully witnessed Sun Zhuo's terror this season. He just sat quietly and watched Sun Zhuo's change in demeanor. I want to read something from Sun Zhuo's expression, using a learning attitude, just like he watched McGrady's video tape a few years ago and learned McGrady's shooting posture.

Durant was thinking that one day in the future, when he becomes the boss of a team, he will also begin to experience this kind of moment. He will be as confident, determined and calm as Sun Zhuo at this time.

The battle horn sounded quickly in the third quarter. Both sides sent out their starting lineups. There were still two full quarters before the winner of this game would be decided. However, the Lakers' Kobe Bryant, in the first minute of the third quarter, It seems that I can't wait any longer.

Kobe and Gasol were setting a pick-and-roll screen on the line. After switching defenses, Kobe changed direction and shot directly from outside the three-point line. Whoops, he hit a three-pointer!

This time, the Magic did not expect Kobe to shoot a three-pointer so decisively, so the defense was not in place and caused little interference to Kobe.

However, on the next shot, Kobe clearly felt the pressure from outside the three-point line, but still forced his shot and hit again!

"Kobe's concentration is so high." Sun Zhuo saw Kobe's goal completely in his eyes. He found that when Kobe attacked this time, although he forced the shot, his prediction of the defense was very accurate. From his eyes You can also see that Kobe is very focused. As a super scorer, how much he wants to score in this offense can actually be seen in the players' eyes.

The Lakers defended Sun Zhuo fiercely, but Sun Zhuo still had no time to respond. Unexpectedly, the Magic missed the attack. The Lakers counterattacked very quickly. But this time, Kobe reached the three-point line and pretended to break through, but suddenly Step back and shoot a three-pointer, another three-pointer!

"Ah!" Kobe pulled the golden No. 24 jersey with both hands and became excited again. The crowd cheered along with his roar.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Kobe scored three three-pointers in a row, and his personal score increased from 32 points to 41 points!

"MVP! MVP! MVP!" MVP's voice once again echoed throughout the Staples Center Arena, a place that originally belonged to Sun Zhuo.

Sun Zhuo is also an MVP. He is also a two-time MVP winner. When he saw Kobe instantly widening the distance and everyone calling him MVP, he was naturally a little stimulated, but he was still very confident that he could catch up.

"We actually shot three three-pointers in a row. It's a bit like the way we played in Game 7 with the Celtics and Pierce came off the court for two minutes. It's interesting." Sun Zhuo chuckled and decided to respond.

However, when Sun Zhuo got the ball again, he was double-teamed!

Sun Zhuo's position was not suitable for direct one-on-two. He first quickly distributed the ball, and then looked for an opportunity to catch the ball. However, when his teammates passed it to him again, the ball was intercepted!

"The Magic have never had an excellent passer." Phil Jackson said with a smile on his face. He was able to steal the ball successfully this time. The main reason was that Sun Zhuo's teammates were hesitant to pass the ball.

After the Lakers stole the ball, Phil Jackson blew his little finger again. This time the warning was for Kobe. As early as in the locker room just now, he also told Kobe that if this was the case, Kobe would go to his favorite place. He is one-on-one with his back in the low post. If no one double-teams him, he will shoot by himself. With his current state, his shooting rate must be good. If he is double-teamed, he must distribute the ball and let his teammates attack.

"Phil plans to let his teammates play this time." Kobe scored 9 points in a row. In fact, he wanted to continue playing by himself, but Phil Jackson asked and he had to comply.

Kobe just hoped that the Magic would not come forward to attack, but how could the Magic let Kobe take a shot from that position?

"Kobe was double-teamed."

Kobe quickly passed the ball to Fisher at the top of the arc, and Fisher decisively shot a three-pointer directly!

Uh-huh!

Hit!

"Another three-pointer! The Lakers hit four three-pointers in a row! Why do the Lakers suddenly love shooting three-pointers so much? I originally thought that the Golden State Warriors and Orlando Magic were the teams that like to shoot three-pointers the most, but I didn't expect the Lakers today. The three-point shot is crazier than the Magic, haha."

The Magic were forced to call a timeout, and Phil Jackson took the initiative to praise Kobe and Fisher: "Well done, our goal has been achieved."

Phil Jackson wants to make Sun Zhuo impatient at the beginning of the third quarter. When Sun Zhuo becomes impatient, he may become more unstoppable, but Phil can guarantee that the team can win.

As the Zen master expected, Sun Zhuo became very urgent. On the offensive end, he was extremely obsessed with getting the ball, and on the defensive end, he also became particularly pursuing steals.

"He is slowly becoming unreasonable." Phil Jackson knows Sun Zhuo too well. He is the one who knows Sun Zhuo best among all NBA coaches. Even Popovich can't compare. Not only because of Popovich He has never taught Sun Zhuo, and Popovich is completely inferior to the Zen master in terms of understanding of human nature.

There is a reason why the Lakers beat the Spurs every time.

In the following period, because Sun Zhuo deliberately pursued scoring and equaled or even surpassed Kobe in personal statistics, he did many unreasonable and unfavorable things to the team. The Lakers also deliberately suppressed Sun Zhuo. Give Sun Zhuo a chance to score, but Sun Zhuo's personal strength is too strong. Unless the Lakers are really willing to completely give up the Magic and others to contain Sun Zhuo, any form of defense will not be a problem for Sun Zhuo.

A few minutes later, Sun Zhuo suddenly returned to his leading scoring posture and scored consecutively!

"Sun also scored 40 points. The Lakers' defense wanted to limit Sun, but it still couldn't be done. I had no impression of the brothers Pau Gasol and Marc Gasol before. After watching their duel today, I felt that my brother was still... Not as tough as my brother." O'Neal said off the court, like a commentator.

Wade smiled. O'Neal, this guy, always likes to analyze a player's toughness. "I have the same opinion as you. It seems that it is difficult for Sun and Kobe to tell the winner. We still have to watch the fourth quarter." The performance is good, but during this period, the Lakers actually opened up the score."

O'Neal let out a light sigh, seemingly only paying attention to the duel between the two and ignoring the gap between the teams. He looked at the tall and upright Zen Master in the Lakers dugout and said softly: "This old guy..."

Sun Zhuo finally caught up with Kobe in scoring, but he wasn't done catching up yet, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to surpass Kobe!

"Exceed Kobe, Sun. Your offensive ability is already above Kobe. Go shoot and steal." Phil Jackson looked at Sun Zhuo, with the same desire in his eyes, wishing that Sun Zhuo would go Do something like this.

At this time, Sun Zhuo fell into Zen Master's trap again, and the number of mistakes and fouls began to increase.

Snapped!

Sun Zhuo stole and fouled the thug.

boom!

Odom was knocked to the ground by Sun Zhuo, which was obviously done deliberately.

Stan Van Gundy is also complaining to the referee that this should not be an offensive foul!

"Haha." Phil Jackson smiled lightly. His plan had been accomplished. Sun Zhuo fell into his trap, and even Stan Van Gundy became impatient.

In contrast, the Zen master seemed more calm and calm, and everything was under control.

But Sun Zhuo is not a mortal after all. On the court, he can usually make up for the mistakes he makes on his own. Gradually, Sun Zhuo becomes more cautious, and his desire to attack has not diminished at all. With his performance, The point difference also gradually narrowed, as Kobe's condition began to decline and the Lakers began to make mistakes.

Zen Master did not panic because of this. No one can make mistakes all the time, and the Lakers are the same, but these are acceptable to them, and the situation is still under their control.

Soon, the game entered the decisive stage of the fourth quarter.

Kobe and Sun Zhuo are still scoring...

"Damn, this guy can still run so well!" Artest was already having a hard time defending Kobe. This was the first time in his career that he had been so tired. In this game, he fought fiercely with Kobe, which was enough. Working hard consumes Kobe's physical energy, but I didn't expect that Kobe still seems to have plenty of physical energy now.

Quick movement, catching the ball, feints, jump shots, Artest has been impatient with Kobe's fake moves. Kobe is definitely a master of fake moves and has too many tricks to deal with Artest.

Beep!

Another whistle blew, Kobe got a free throw opportunity, and Artest committed his fifth foul.

"Ron Artest is about to leave the game with six fouls. They played really fiercely this time."

"Kobe is about to score his 50th point and will soon catch up with Sun's 55 points."

At this time, Sun Zhuo had already scored 55 points. After Kobe made two free throws, he scored 51 points. The two were still neck and neck.

But at this stage, the gap in scoring ability between Kobe and Sun Zhuo gradually became apparent.

Sun Zhuo can still continue to score like he did in the first quarter because he has many methods and can score from any position, while Kobe is relatively single.

More importantly, Kobe made many difficult goals at the beginning. Even when Artest blocked his face, he was still able to hit and score in the face of three-man double-team defense.

But now that he has scored 50 points, these difficult goals by Kobe no longer exist. Due to the exhaustion of physical fitness, it is difficult for him to hit these difficult goals. Sometimes, some difficult shots will miss. It’s so outrageous that it may even lead to a situation where you don’t stick to anything.

Therefore, when Sun Zhuo scored 60 points, Kobe was still in the 50s and could not catch up.

O'Neal saw this and said: "Kobe is gradually losing his ability to score, but Sun still has so many scoring methods. The scoring ability of the two should have already determined the winner."

Wade also nodded. He naturally stood by his good brother Sun Zhuo.

As for Kobe, although he was a little tired, he didn't look like giving in at all.

"It's only 50 points, where are you?" Kobe is a person who has scored 82 points. Although it was in the regular season, for Kobe, it makes no difference, except that the defender today is Artest, so Let him consume more physical energy.

"Artest is a bastard. If it weren't for him, I would have scored 60 points. I have to get him off the game quickly." In order to let Artest commit six fouls, Kobe held his breath again and had to hit one by force.

Kobe's skills are still a major reliance on him in drawing fouls. You don't know when he is going to take a shot or what he is going to do next. Kobe tried his best and tricked Artest into another foul.

Artest committed six fouls.

Artest was very depressed and unwilling. Sun Zhuo came over and comforted him: "You have done a good job, leave the rest to me."

Without Artest, the Lakers' winning rate will increase again.

"Kobe's final score will be lost to Sun's, but it doesn't matter. As long as he can hit a few goals at the last moment, it will be enough." Phil Jackson is still thinking about the outcome of the entire game. Regarding Kobe's personal outcome, he does not care about Kobe's personal outcome. Not caring, it's not that he doesn't care, but he already has the answer in his heart.

In terms of shooting alone, Kobe and Sun Zhuo are about the same in close and mid-range, and even Kobe is a little better. But in long-range shooting, Sun Zhuo is much better than Kobe.

Then, everything went as Zen Master expected. Sun Zhuo scored 60 points, and soon scored 70 points again. He once again tied his single-game scoring record in the playoffs!

"Oh my god, Sun is so crazy this season. He scored 70 points twice in the playoffs! I thought that after the last time he scored, it would be impossible for him to appear again in the past fifty years. Unexpectedly, just a few days later... …”

"Kobe has just reached 60 points now. Although he is already great, compared to Sun Yat-sen, I'm afraid he is still a little behind."

The game is coming to an end. In this game, both Kobe and Sun Zhuo tried their best. As a result, at the end of the game, Sun Zhuo once again reached the highest scoring record in the playoffs, while Kobe was 10 points short.

This already shows that Sun Zhuo is slightly better than Kobe in terms of personal scoring ability.

At this time, the Magic were still 6 points behind and still had a chance. However, at this time, Kobe hit another three-pointer that killed the game, bringing his personal score to 63 points.

"The magic is over."

Sun Zhuo saw that the game was about to be ruined, but he couldn't help but rush into the penalty area. His opponent fouled and only made one free throw. In the end, he scored 71 points in the entire game.

Kobe also settled on 63 points.

The Lakers won the first game!
