Super Legendary Superstar

Chapter 488 When Hua grows old, give it a try!

TN.T.

"As Hakeem Olajuwon predicted in 1990, there will be a player who combines inside and outside in the future. He can play any position. Only that kind of player will be the best in history. I think Sun is very suitable. This condition.”

ESPN.

"MJ once said that if he was asked to be another player in the league, he would choose Olajuwon, but Sun does not need to use this assumption. He can use his existing body to be an outside player and an inside player at the same time. Players, and both are top-notch players. The only difference between Sun and MJ is the number of championships. From a personal level, he is already a more comprehensive and better player than MJ."

Because of Sun Zhuo's words, if you look at some TV programs now, you can hear these fresh remarks at any time, especially "Olajuwon" who said these words. After Sun Zhuo really played inside, He was full of praise for Sun Zhuo. Sun Zhuo was the type of player he had long expected, although he didn't know why he was looking forward to it so much.

"Congratulations, you successfully exchanged ten special training card fragments for a special training card!"

"Congratulations! The defense level has been raised from S to S+!"

After successfully challenging Olajuwon in the Legends Game, Sun Zhuo also received another special training card. He continues to improve his defense. This season, he wants everyone in the league to know how good his defense is.

A few days later, the Orlando Magic visited the Houston Rockets. In the past few years, whenever Sun Zhuo played against Yao Ming, CCTV would broadcast it, and the ratings were very high. Because of the relationship between Sun Zhuo and Yao Ming, the Magic and Rockets played against each other. For Chinese fans, just like their own team, they can name some of the players even if they are not very famous, let alone players like Tracy McGrady and Durant.

In this game, Durant and Westbrook also want to perform well, because they know that there are a lot of fans in China who watch the NBA. Durant's performance last season won many fans in China, and Westbrook also wants to be like Duran. Very the same.

Before the game, Sun Zhuo greeted his old friend. He had just won the Olympic championship with Yao Ming. Yao Ming already had more respect and admiration for Sun Zhuo. Sun Zhuo and Tracy McGrady had also known each other since Sun Zhuo's rookie season. Zhuo still remembers the first time he and McGrady met...

At that time, he and Kobe went to get tattoos and found McGrady. McGrady was the Magic's No. 1 at the time and had the best figure. At that time, Sun Zhuo only admired and admired McGrady. He felt that McGrady exuded endless chic and light, but Now……

Tracy McGrady isn't even an All-Star anymore.

"t-mac, I will defend you today. I may be cruel to you." Sun Zhuo greeted McGrady in advance. It seemed like he was joking, but Sun Zhuo was serious. He now has S+ defensive ability. , if he wants to win the best defensive player, then his task in every game is to defend the opponent's player with the strongest scoring ability.

McGrady, who had a beard, laughed and replied: "You are always cruel to me."

The smile at this moment continued until several years later, when he was a host on ESPN. In the past few years, every time McGrady met Sun Zhuo, it was a grand scene of a fight between gods. McGrady also used to be stimulated by Sun Zhuo. Amazing data has been created.

"It's different, TRACY, today, I was really cruel." Sun Zhuo was still serious. He did what he did with McGrady in the past because heroes cherish heroes. He knew that McGrady's peak period was too short, so he seized the few times he could Give him a chance and fight him every time.

Actually, that's not cruel at all.

After the game started, Sun Zhuo focused on McGrady, but McGrady first avoided his sharp edge and did not confront Sun Zhuo head-on. The Rockets had Yao Ming, and they could still score some points with Yao Ming at the beginning, but gradually, Marc Gasol defended very well. , the Rockets fell into a scoring drought, and McGrady had to take action.

"Toyota Center is still your territory, T-MAC, come on!" Sun Zhuo stimulated McGrady with words at this time.

McGrady smiles, which is what makes him different from other stars. When facing challenges, he is cool enough. This is what Sun Zhuo admires about him.

After getting the ball, McGrady suddenly raised his hand and raised the ball above his head. This was actually a fake shot. McGrady usually faced shooting guards shorter than him at the second position, so this move sometimes It worked quite well, but Sun Zhuo was about the same height as McGrady, or even taller, and he was familiar with McGrady, so he wasn't fooled.

After McGrady feinted, he pulled the ball down and made a beautiful dribble to get rid of the turn. The fans at the scene even screamed in surprise!

McGrady also feels that he has done a good job.

However.

Snapped!

Sun Zhuo intercepted the ball in one fell swoop!

"Is Sun's defense so good?" McGrady panicked and ran forward anxiously to catch up with Sun Zhuo. He knew that once Sun Zhuo started a fast break, he would be at lightning speed. McGrady might not be able to catch up with him at his speed. superior.

In McGrady's current state, it was naturally impossible to catch up with Sun Zhuo. However, Sun Zhuo deliberately slowed down and let McGrady run in front of him.

Then near the free throw line, he deliberately changed from a frontal attack to a back-to-the-basket attack. Everyone was also surprised that Sun Zhuo did not choose a fast break at the first time, but relied on a hit.

In fact, at Sun Zhuo's level, one-on-one, no matter which method he chooses, he can score. The reason for doing this is just to talk to McGrady more.

"T-MAC, you can't turn around so slowly to treat me. I'm the best defender in the league. You should use all your strength every time you attack." Sun Zhuo spoke while hitting McGrady and forcing him to retreat. said.

McGrady was unconvinced: "You have never been the best in the league..."

McGrady wanted to say that Sun Zhuo had never been the best defender in the league. But at this time, Sun Zhuo was already in a very comfortable position. Suddenly he turned around and shot, and McGrady quickly got up to block the shot. It was useless, even if it was LeBron James couldn't block or interfere with Sun Zhuo's shot, let alone McGrady, whose jumping was no longer at its peak.

Sun Zhuo made the shot easily.

Yao Ming, who was far away in the other half, saw this scene and thought in his heart: "Sun is indeed a little different from before."

The difference that Yao Ming is referring to is not the difference in Sun Zhuo's defensive ability. Sun Zhuo's defensive ability is better than before. This is something that is obvious to all. What he is talking about is Sun Zhuo's attitude towards Tracy McGrady.

Although Yao Ming and Sun Zhuo are both Chinese and have won two Olympic championships together. They have so many connections, but Yao Ming knows very well that the relationship between Sun Zhuo and another person at the Toyota Center and the Houston Rockets is actually better and more... In particular, that person is Tracy McGrady.

McGrady still had many one-on-one opportunities with Sun Zhuo in the following period, but every time when Sun Zhuo defended tightly, McGrady was unable to score.

Then, at the end of the half, McGrady was defended by Sun Zhuo and failed to score a point in the half!

This surprised the CCTV commentators.

Yang Yi and Yu Jia explained the game. Yu Jia asked: "Is Sun Zhuo's defensive ability already strong enough? Tracy McGrady is a superstar. He was the league's former scoring leader. Even now, he averages 20 points per game." There were points, but I didn’t expect that I would score 0 points in the half when I was guarded by Sun Zhuo. I faced Sun Zhuo several times and all of them failed.”

Yang Yi sighed: "Sun Zhuo's defensive ability has really improved, and it has improved unknowingly. Unlike his offensive ability, which suddenly appeared in one game and shocked the world, I think his one-on-one defense, It gives people a very strong sense of oppression. You can obviously see that a star like McGrady has become incapable of attacking under Sun Zhuo's defense. It is difficult for you to get rid of him in a simple way. McGrady has been doing this recently. In two seasons, the decline has been serious. He is no longer the star who could score 50 or 60 points in a single game with Sun Zhuo. However, based on his ability, 0 points at halftime is not a problem. Sun Zhuo's defense No matter how great the progress is, it still won't reach that level. No one in the world can guard McGrady to a point. The key is McGrady's own problem. In terms of offensive desire, he is not enough."

Rockets locker room.

McGrady missed all his shots in the half. He was very upset at this time, and no one dared to mention it. Yao Ming smiled and said, "Sun seems to have defeated you today."

McGrady wiped his face with a towel and said, "This guy is always challenging me in various ways to embarrass me."

Yao Ming shook his head and disagreed with McGrady: "Tracy, Sun is not targeting you, he really appreciates you. I feel that he has better feelings for you than for me. Maybe he wants to stimulate you in this way. This season, it’s time for you to return to the All-Star Game.”

"Haha." McGrady unconsciously picked up a bottle of water next to him and took a few sips, recalling the scenes of his fights with Sun Zhuo in his mind.

He didn't know whether Yao Ming was right or what he thought was right. He only knew that the second half would be very tiring, and he didn't want to face this fatigue.

In the second half, Sun Zhuo still wanted to use S+ defense to block McGrady. On the one hand, he wanted to declare to the world that he was one of the strongest defenders in the league. On the other hand, the reason why he was so cruel to McGrady, whom he admired, He just wanted to stimulate McGrady. He didn't want to see McGrady gradually disappear from the fans' field of vision, go from scoring 40 or 30 points in a game to 20 points or even a dozen points, and then be traded away by the Rockets and wander around among different teams. , and then eventually quit the NBA.

Now McGrady is only 28 years old, which is the age at which a star is at his peak.

McGrady knows that it is not easy to score against Sun Zhuo in a one-on-one situation through strength, speed or skills. He has to adopt other methods, such as asking teammates to set screens to cause defense changes, for example, drawing fouls.

But even so, McGrady's scoring was still dismal. At the end of the third quarter, he only had a pitiful 7 points.

The atmosphere in the entire Toyota Center was very bad. They could see that McGrady had been completely blocked by Sun Zhuo. They were disappointed that the star player was so ineffective, and they even felt that McGrady was no longer suitable to lead the team.

Yang Yi also said when explaining: "Actually, what Sun Zhuo did today may be to tell everyone that Tracy McGrady is no longer suitable to be the leader of the Rockets, and Yao Ming should need a new partner."

Yang Yi rarely says good things about Tracy McGrady.

Under Yang Yi's personal and subjective remarks, many Chinese fans really felt that Sun Zhuo was targeting McGrady, embarrassing McGrady, and venting his anger on compatriot Yao Ming.

In fact, as Yao Ming said, Sun Zhuo likes McGrady better than Yao Ming.

He never cared about the boss battle between Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming. Whoever has the ability will be the boss. Sun Zhuo, an outsider, will never side with anyone. Tracy McGrady's influence on Sun Zhuo's playing style is something Yao Ming does not have.

Seeing that McGrady was so guarded by Sun Zhuo that he didn't dare to take action, Sun Zhuo was very disappointed. He saw giving up in McGrady's eyes. Sun Zhuo is now better than Kobe, but even so, every time he plays against Kobe , it was impossible for him to see Kobe willing to surrender to him.

In the last three minutes of the fourth quarter, McGrady got the ball again, and Sun Zhuo immediately came over to him and said to him: "Do you want to take a leap of faith, or become an old man, filled with regret?" , waiting to die alone?”

Are you willing to give it a try, or do you want to wait until you are old, full of regrets, and go to the end of the world alone?

Maddie was shocked. He knew this sentence. It was a line from "Inception" directed by Sun Zhuo.

"Give it a try? Or wait until you grow old and spend the rest of your life with regrets?"

McGrady never thought about this problem. He entered the NBA at the age of 18 and stayed in the NBA for many years. He thought he would stay in this league for a long time and never thought about being eliminated.

But today, Sun Zhuo gave McGrady a heads up.

Suddenly, there was some exclamation in the silent scene.

The score has actually been extended, and the game does not seem to have much suspense. The commentator was about to call it a day, but Yu Jia suddenly exclaimed: "Oh? McGrady caught the ball with one hand?"

After catching the ball with both hands, McGrady changed to catching the ball with one hand after hearing Sun Zhuo's words. This is an action that McGrady has not done for a long time.

"Hey, that's a good posture." Yang Yi teased McGrady with a smile.

Sun Zhuo also smiled, he was full of joy, although he might continue to guard him cruelly, steal his ball or give him a big block.

McGrady suddenly forced Sun Zhuo, and Sun Zhuo quickly retreated to follow.

"Strike hard! McGrady can't beat him!" Yang Yi saw that McGrady wanted to beat Sun Zhuo hard, and was very dissatisfied with McGrady's attack, because McGrady is now inferior to Sun Zhuo in terms of speed and strength.

Sure enough, McGrady couldn't get rid of Sun Zhuo at all. McGrady pulled back and retreated to the three-point line. Sun Zhuo was a little slower, but he quickly took off to block the shot. This defense would still cause a lot of interference to McGrady, and the result was extremely disappointing. Maybe still blacksmithing.

But this time, McGrady didn't hesitate.

Whoosh!

"Did McGrady take a shot?" Yang Yi even felt that McGrady shouldn't have made this shot.

Snapped!

Sun Zhuo wanted to block McGrady, but he didn't expect McGrady to be so decisive this time. He hit McGrady's hand and was called for a foul. The basketball slowly slid toward the basket. McGrady was not sure that this shot would go in. , but he believed in himself, especially since he wanted to give it a try.

Uh-huh!

McGrady hit 3+1!

The whole person was lying on the floor because of Sun Zhuo's block.

Before the Rockets players could come over to pull McGrady, Sun Zhuo was the first to step forward and pull McGrady up with a smile. McGrady also reached out for Sun Zhuo to pull him up. After standing up, he said to Sun Zhuo: "You will be here. See me at the All-Star Game in Phoenix!”
