Super Legendary Superstar

Westbrook officially joins the Orlando Magic! Partnered with Sun Zhuo and Kevin Durant and became teammates!

Westbrook is not an ordinary player, he is not even an ordinary superstar. When Sun Zhuo was reborn, Westbrook was one of the best players in the league, and he could average a triple-double per game and win the regular season MVP. This guy has He has amazing physical ability. Unlike Curry, he is a violent point guard. Different from Rose, compared to Rose's several serious injuries, Westbrook is simply an iron man!

Sun Zhuo knows that once the team has Westbrook, they can do more.

Just like the Sonics acquired Durant and Westbrook at this time in the previous life, people at this time had no idea what this pairing meant. The two partners of Durant and Westbrook at their peak could almost defeat the Warriors at their peak. , if Sun Zhuo and Durant Westbrook continue to cooperate, then ten consecutive championships may not really be a dream...

The Magic have now won three consecutive championships and are the well-deserved overlord of the league, so every move they make will attract the attention of other teams. After the Magic acquired Westbrook, many opponents also re-analyzed the Magic's strength.

Russell Westbrook is obviously a good player, more promising than Monta Ellis. After acquiring Westbrook, the Magic may have to give up Monta Ellis, but based on Westbrook’s current data and evaluation From the looks of it, I don’t think the Magic will be that scary after having Westbrook.

Including the Magic's management, they actually wanted to select the big boy Kevin Love, who was still very fair and fat at this time.

The Warriors also had draft picks in the first round, and they asked Sun Zhuo's opinion as always. In the previous life, the Warriors' choice was Anthony Randolph, a big inside player, but due to injuries and lack of confrontation, he did not get a chance to perform. He was transferred to various teams and was forced to leave after only a few years in the NBA.

Selecting him in the first round was obviously a waste.

Therefore, Sun Zhuo’s advice to his brothers’ team is...

"The Golden State Warriors selected Serge Ibaka with the 14th pick in the first round."

Seeing this, Sun Zhuo suddenly felt a little sorry for the future Thunder team. Durant, Westbrook, and Ibaka were all Thunder players, but now they have all become players from other teams.

One more James Harden is missing...

…

"BJ welcomes you and moves you like music."

“Let’s all work hard to surpass ourselves.”

"..."

Since returning to China, the melody of this song has been lingering in Sun Zhuo's ears. 2008 was an impressive year for the Chinese people. After experiencing the earthquake, the Chinese people became more united, more determined, and more eager to survive. At the Olympic Games, China's strength was proved to the world.

Sun Zhuo was also personally invited by the country's top leader and expressed his hope that Sun Zhuo could lead the team to win the gold medal.

…

At 8 o'clock in the evening on August 8, 2008, the opening ceremony of the 29th Olympic Games, which attracted worldwide attention, was held at the National Stadium Bird's Nest.

At night, the Bird's Nest Stadium is illuminated with bright lights. The stadium, which can accommodate 90,000 people, is packed with seats. CCTV, NBC, BBC, NHK and other national television stations are also broadcasting it simultaneously.

After the opening ceremony that amazed the whole world, athletes from various countries also led their teams to the entrance. Athletes from various sports from all over the world gathered here. There were too many world sports stars, but to say that the one who received the biggest applause was Or a basketball player, especially an NBA basketball player.

Basketball has always been very popular in China. With Sun Zhuo's success, it has influenced and inspired countless Chinese boys. They all have the same dream, which is to play in the NBA.

For the U.S. team, Kobe Bryant was the player who received the loudest cheers, far more than James Wade and others. When the Chinese team came out for the finale, although Sun Zhuo did not raise the flag, when the camera cut to him, the audience emitted the highest decibel cheer. The cheers, the momentum seemed to lift the entire stadium to the sky.

Sun Zhuo is already the most dazzling sports star in the world, not only in China, but also in any country in the world. In the next two days, Sun Zhuo also met athletes from various countries. Many people who were older than Sun Zhuo regarded Sun Zhuo as He was made an idol and had to take a group photo with him.

On the same day, when Sun Zhuo logged into Jimmy Jordan's email, he also received an email from LeBron James. Before he came to China, he emailed Jimmy Jordan and said he wanted to meet him during the Olympics.

However, the beauty card was very precious, and it was a pity to use it just to meet James, so Sun Zhuo shunned it. However, Sun Zhuo promised James in the name of Jimmy Jordan that he would definitely meet James this time when he came to China.

The Olympic men's basketball team is divided into two groups: Group A includes Lithuania, Russia, Argentina, Australia, Iran and Croatia, and Group B includes China, Spain, the United States, Angola, Greece and Germany.

China, the United States, and Spain, the most powerful players in the world, are all in the same group. Group B is undoubtedly called the death group.

Two days later, at 10:15 pm on August 10th, BJ time, the first game of the Chinese men's basketball team was against the world's strongest opponent, the American Dream Team 8!

BJ Olympic Basketball Hall, with on-site VIP seats, you can see the hottest entertainment stars from China and other countries.

Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Jay Chou, black Chen Jianzhou, Daniel Wu, Lin Xilei, Chen Yihan, Shawn Yue, Wu Kequn...

There are many celebrities who like basketball in China, and they all became fans of the Magic because of Sun Zhuo. It can be said that there are more Magic fans in China than Rockets fans, and blue has become a popular color in China.

In addition to entertainment stars, business and political celebrities from various countries are also filled in every position in the audience.

Chairman \u0026 President of China and the United States, Crown Prince of Spain, President of France, Prime Minister of Australia, Bill Gates, Buffett, Zuckerberg...

This game is recognized as a game between the two best national teams in the world, even if it is just a group match.

At the scene, on the American team, Kobe, James, Howard and Anthony all wanted to win China and beat Sun Zhuo once. Kobe had just lost to Sun Zhuo in the finals, James had just lost in the playoffs, and Howard He is Sun Zhuo's former teammate, but Sun Zhuo completed three consecutive championships without him, which made him feel very worthless.

"If we put these people together, if we can't beat Sun Zhuo, it would be unreasonable." LeBron James looked at the luxurious group of teammates around him. James always believed that he lost to Sun Zhuo because he lacked good teammates. Now, With Kobe, Wade, Anthony and Howard around him, they are all several levels higher than Sun Zhuo's teammates. This is James' best chance to beat Sun Zhuo.

Kobe also said to all the players: "This is the strongest dream team ever."

Before departure, Kobe Bryant said that he thought the Dream Team 8 was better than the Dream Team 1. This also caused dissatisfaction among the members of the Dream Team 1. Larry Bird joked: "Did he say that? Maybe, We are all old now, of course we can’t beat them.”

But no matter what, Dream Team 8 is indeed as luxurious as Dream Team 1, and its strength is very close. It is the best team of the US national team in recent years.

In the past, they repeatedly lost gold medals because they did not assemble the strongest lineup. Now, they have assembled the strongest lineup and will not give up until they win the gold medal.

On the Chinese team, everyone is also very serious.

"Our opponents are very strong." Sun Zhuo looked at these teammates of the national team seriously. Sun Zhuo has been competing with the best athletes in the world these years. Almost all of them are on the opposite side, and those around Sun Zhuo Except for Yao Ming, who is considered a lower level player, everyone else is far from the world's top players.

This is like comparing five kings with one king and one star mixed with platinum and diamond players.

Before, the Chinese team beat the American team, but that was because the American team did not field its strongest lineup. Now it is completely different.

"But we are also very strong." Sun Zhuo paused for a moment and then said, "We will be the world champion! Come on!"

The entire Chinese team completely follows Sun Zhuo's lead. Just like his position on the Magic team, Sun Zhuo's voice and status are superior to those of the coach. Everyone knows that if the Chinese team wants to win the gold medal, Sun Zhuo is the only one to rely on.

The Chinese national team has always emphasized unity and cooperation, but this time in the Chinese men's basketball team, it was a complete exception.

The competition starts soon!

Sun Zhengping: "The Chinese men's basketball team wears red sportswear, and the American men's basketball team wears white sportswear. China's starting lineup is Liu Wei, Sun Yue, Sun Zhuo, Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming, and the American team's starting lineup is Kidd, Kobe, James, Anthony and Dwight Howard.”

Zhang Weiping: "China and the United States are the biggest opponents in this Men's Basketball Olympics. They are both in the same group, and they met in the first game. China and the United States have no problem qualifying in the group. I don't know what the two teams will do in this game. How to beat it."

Although it was only a group match, in the first minute of the game, all the players gave their best, and the fans in the arena were extremely excited. Every grab for the ball and every shot triggered a strong response.

The Chinese team’s play style at the beginning was very simple, which was to try to get the ball to Sun Zhuo, and then let Sun Zhuo play one-on-one singles in the low post. In terms of Sun Zhuo’s scoring ability, no matter where he is, no matter what he faces He has no solution for any defender.

However, the U.S. team also knows this. They know that the reason why the Chinese team is strong is Sun Zhuo. Without Sun Zhuo, the U.S. team can win by 30 to 40 points without any problem. But with Sun Zhuo, the U.S. team may even win lose!

"Prevent him from catching the ball!" Seeing that the Chinese team was about to pass the ball to Sun Zhuo, Kobe directed from the side, while LeBron James stayed close to Sun Zhuo to prevent Sun Zhuo from catching the ball easily.

Sun Zhuo's national team teammates were hesitant to pass the ball. Perhaps they were too afraid of the U.S. team's fast break and did not take the risk to pass the ball to the other side. In the end, Yao Ming took the hook and failed to score.

The U.S. team entered into scoring mode right from the start. Kobe faced Sun Yue and scored with a strong single, but Sun Yue could not guard him at all.

Sun Zhengping: "The U.S. team has taken the lead in scoring, and the Chinese team has to catch up quickly. We cannot let the U.S. team widen the point difference."

Zhang Weiping: "Yes, judging from today's state, the American team is still very anxious to attack. They really want to win this game to prove that they are still the dominant player in basketball. And now Sun Zhuo, the number one player in basketball, is on the Chinese team. This will It stimulates their performance even more.”

Sun Zhuo wanted to respond, but the U.S. team's defense against Sun Zhuo was too fierce. He couldn't get the ball in the low post unless he was outside the three-point line. But when he got the ball, he was still double-teamed, and Sun Zhuo was not allowed to break through at all. Opportunity.

Everyone can see that the American team is completely targeting Sun Zhuo, leaving the other members of the Chinese team alone. At this time, as long as other people dare to stand up and shoot and can make the shot, it will be very easy for the Chinese team to score.

However, the Chinese team does not have very good pitchers, and this lineup does not include Zhu Fangyu.

The Chinese team played very hard in the first few minutes. Perhaps they did not expect that the United States would defend such a strong defense, not only against Sun Zhuo, but also when other people were holding the ball and trying to attack the basket. The defense he encountered was equally terrifying.

When Sun Yue made a breakthrough for a layup, he was slapped into the audience by Howard, and his whole aura made Sun Yue scared.

"These guys are all like monsters." Sun Yue felt the terrible defense of the US team, which had an impact on his subsequent offensive mentality.

Yao Ming has played against all these opponents, and he is even more emotional than Sun Yue: "James, Kobe, Howard, they have all become tougher and even ruthless because of Sun Zhuo's relationship, just like forming an Avengers Alliance. We are here to seek revenge on Sun Zhuo, this is by no means a simple group match."

Sun Zhuo also felt the "hatred" that each of them had for him. Not to mention these were NBA opponents, even if his teammate Durant appeared in this game, he would treat him with the same attitude.

Sun Zhengping: "Sun Yue changed direction, oops, he was cut off by Kobe!"

Zhang Weiping: "Kobe made a fast break. Sun Zhuo was so fast. He caught up. Kobe passed to James and dunked in an alley-oop. It was so beautiful."

After Kobe and James completed the alley-oop collaboration, they still clapped their hands with serious expressions and did not say a provocative word to Sun Zhuo.

At this time, Sun Zhuo accidentally saw Wade's expression off the court. Wade shrugged, and Sun Zhuo could understand what he wanted to express.

Under the strong desire of Kobe and James to win, the Chinese team lost by 16 points in a single quarter. Liu Wei, Sun Yue, and Yao Ming all made constant mistakes.

"It's too scary! This Dream Team is too scary! It's actually brought the Chinese team back to where it was ten years ago. Although Sun Zhuo hasn't performed well yet, even if he does, can he fight against so many superstars by himself? "

"Sun Zhuo can score 70 or 80 points in a game, and Kobe can too, and Kobe has LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony beside him, and there is also Flash Wade on the bench. I think the Chinese team will still strive for a silver or bronze medal. Well, basketball is about teamwork after all."

After a single quarter, no one thought that the Chinese team could win the world championship.
