When personal strength reaches the level of Sun Zhuo and Kobe, one-on-one PK is more of a confrontation between mental strength and desire, plus there is no specific winning standard for this duel, and one party must take the initiative to admit defeat before it is over, Kobe Bryant is naturally willing to be sent to the hospital rather than admit it, and Sun Zhuo is the same.

This is probably the most intense and intense one-on-one matchup in NBA history.

Phil Jackson prevented this "non-stop" duel and sent the two to the hospital, Kobe Bryant's leg was injured, and he will definitely not be able to play in the first game of the new season, but the injury is not serious, and he will be fine in a few days of recovery.

Sun Zhuo did not have a particularly serious injury, but the physical exertion was huge, causing him to feel a little dizzy when he flew out of Los Angeles, and then came to Orlando and became ill, November 2 is the day of the Magic's first game, and Sun Zhuo will also be absent in the opening game.

After the news of Sun Zhuo's absence from the opening game was released, the media reported on Sun Zhuo's situation, and some people have already broken the news that Sun Zhuo was injured in Los Angeles, and the rumors are even more outrageous, saying that Sun Zhuo was unwilling to be traded by the Lakers and ran to Kobe Bryant to fight alone, but both of them were injured.

As soon as the news came out, it caused accusations from many fans.

"Sun is too impulsive, he is no longer an ordinary role player, he is the leader of the Orlando Magic this season, and the whole team depends on him, but he does this irresponsible thing, not only in the preseason, but also in the regular season."

"Sun dared to challenge Kobe?! Kobe Bryant also missed the first game, and I'd love to know if the two will split the results? Who won exactly? ”

"I predict that the Magic won't make the playoffs this year, Sun is too young, only in his third year in the league, and he needs to have a more senior All-Star with him."

When he was recuperating, Sun Zhuo would read some magazines and newspapers, or browse the news on the Internet, and find that he hadn't played a game in the Magic yet, and everyone blamed him.

"Doesn't it feel a little different?" In a Gothic mansion in Orlando, the agent Emma brought a glass of water to Sun Zhuo, and with Sun Zhuo coming to Orlando, Emma also moved to live in the city.

This is a mansion that Sun Zhuo bought from someone else after coming to Orlando, with 10,000 square feet, 5 bedrooms, a fully functional oversized kitchen, a huge living room with a two-way fireplace, and everything like a billiards room, a water bar, and a home theater.

This is completely different from Sun Zhuo's mansion in Los Angeles, Sun Zhuo also wants to say goodbye to the past once and for all, and choose this place for a new chapter, this house attracts Sun Zhuo because of the outdoor design, with a fireplace and a terrace for the entertainment center, a swimming pool with waterfalls, slides, and a small artificial circulation river.

Emma looked around at the luxurious castle she was in for another week, and without waiting for Sun Zhuo to answer, she spoke again: "Sun, your identity is different, you are no longer an insignificant character, you are the hope of all Orlando fans, and the whole team is counting on you, so the media has become more harsh on you, and your every move and word and deed will be magnified, believe me, dealing with the media is definitely not a simple but necessary thing, from this season onwards, you have to learn and hone slowly." ”

Sun Zhuo nodded, but he didn't care too much about the voices of the media and fans, because he knew that he would soon be at the full level, and there were two special training cards that were useless, as long as he could perform well, these words would disappear.

In the regular season opener in Sun Zhuo's absence, the Magic played disorganized and lost the first game.

Two days later, Sun Zhuo couldn't wait to come back before he recovered from his illness, and today was Sun Zhuo's first game for the Magic, against the Memphis Grizzlies, who were on the home court of the Magic.

When the live DJ introduced Sun Zhuo to the entrance, when they saw the familiar Magic No. 1 appear again, the fans still let out endless cheers.

"Magic One! Saw Magic One again! Everyone who dares to wear Magic No. 1 is a legend, but no Magic No. 1 can lead the team to win the championship, I don't know if Sun can do it......"

"Son had a 60-point performance in a single game last season, can he surpass T-MAC here?"

When Sun Zhuo appeared in the magic No. 1 jersey, he also became very emotional, the new jersey, the new home, the new team, everything is new, especially this season, he will be the unique leader of the team, this is completely Sun Zhuo's team.

"My new season has finally begun!"

Sun Zhuo is very excited, the 05-06 season is a very special season for Sun Zhuo, this season stars are unleashing their talents to the fullest, in the NBA ten years later, you will never see such an epic individual scoring performance as this season.

This season, not only Kobe Bryant is crazy, but other superstars also score 50 and 60 points at every turn, in this season, Iverson has scored 50+ games in 1 game, 40-49 in 14 games, 30-39 in 34 games; Kobe Bryant's 50+ games have 6 games, 40-49 21, 30-39 29; James 50+ games in 2 games, 40-49 in 8 games, 30-39 games in 39 games.

This season, Kobe Bryant averaged 35.4 points per game to win the scoring title, the second place in the scoring list was Iverson's 33 points, James's average of 31.4 points per game could only rank third, and even Arenas, who ranked fourth, had an average performance of 29.4 per game.

It's been a crazy season!

"It's my first time being the boss of the team, and the scoring title is something I have to strive for."

Although he knows how difficult it is to win the scoring title this season, Sun Zhuo still has to fight hard.

The game started quickly.

Grizzlies starters: Eddie Jones, Pau Gasol, Damon Stoudemire, Shaun Battier and White.

Magic starters: Zhuo Sun, Howard, Turkogru, Stevenson and Nelson.

After the opening, Sun Zhuo couldn't wait to prove to the world that the new Magic No. 1 is coming, he will do better than Penny and Maddie, he also wants to prove his leadership ability, in short, he has too much to prove this season, but some things are not fast enough, not to mention, Sun Zhuo has not recovered from his illness at present, and he has not played for a long time, and he is completely out of the state of the game.

In the opening few balls, Sun Zhuo threw consecutive shots, and there were many coordination mistakes with his teammates, causing the opponent to counterattack and score.

"It looks like he's going to take a while to get used to it, and he's been making movies for a few months in the offseason, isn't he? I don't know if the injury he suffered with the Lakers last season has healed, and the jersey he was wearing, I always feel uneasy when I look at Sun. ”

"I'm just like you, man, and while I'm glad the Magic have an All-Star again, Sun always feels insecure."

Even Sun Zhuo himself has to admit that his current state is terrible, and he can use his BUG ability to quickly get a few points to get back some face, but that doesn't mean anything, what he wants is to continue to perform well.

In this game, Sun Zhuo knew how much a leader played a role in the team, and Sun Zhuo's poor performance directly affected the performance of others, because the tactical core was carried out around Sun Zhuo, and it was even more difficult for others to find their hands in this situation.

The Grizzlies are the team that can make the playoffs, Pau Gasol is an All-Star player, and in the face of such an opponent, the Magic lost to the opponent in the first game, and Sun Zhuo only scored 13 points, and after the third quarter, he did not play again.

Originally, the media questioned Sun Zhuo's leadership ability and professionalism, and finally waited for Sun Zhuo to return, but the first game was a fiasco, Sun Zhuo's own performance was also very bad, and the media even more unceremoniously accused and criticized Sun Zhuo.

After the game, when he was interviewed by reporters, Sun Zhuo fell into this predicament for the first time.

Reporter: "How would you rate your first game with the Magic?" After joining the Magic, you said that you would bring a championship to the city, and the goal of this season is to challenge for the championship, but now the team has lost two in a row and lost badly, do you still think the Magic are a team that can compete for a championship? ”

"I think so, we're in ......"

Before Sun Zhuo could finish answering, another reporter crowded out the microphone, "Sun, after this game, some people commented that you don't know how to play anymore, we all know that you have been making movies in the past few months of the offseason, and you have not done any aspect of basketball training. ”

"I train every day!" In the face of the reporter's rumors, Sun Zhuo also explained sharply.

"How do you explain the previous matchup with Kobe? I heard that you went to Los Angeles two days ago to have a personal showdown with him, which resulted in both of them being injured, is that true? The journalist continued to chase after him.

"This is a personal agreement between me and Kobe, and I have nothing to say about it."

"Can you get back into shape for the next game?"

"I'll get it back!"

……

Sun Zhuo took a lot of effort to get rid of the entanglement with reporters, just a few minutes of interview, made him feel more difficult than dozens of minutes of games, he now finally knows what he needs to endure as a team leader, and he understands the feelings and pressure of Kobe Bryant and Maddy.

In the first two years when the Lakers were in the Lakers, the team lost or had problems, and the media would not put all the blame on Sun Zhuo, they would go to O'Neal and Kobe, and O'Neal and Kobe would take care of these instead of Sun Zhuo.

But now, everyone knows that the boss of the Magic is Sun Zhuo, in order to get Sun Zhuo, the Magic sacrificed Francis, Hill and a first-round pick, Magic fans will not have much tolerance for Sun Zhuo, if after the exchange, Sun Zhuo does not reflect the value he deserves, then what do you want you to do?

For a few moments, Sun Zhuo actually appeared in his mind the figure of Trivo Ariza, Ariza was on this team, Sun Zhuo could naturally meet him at any time, but the figure in his mind was when Ariza was wearing a rocket jersey, Ariza also had a short time as the boss, but due to lack of ability, he could only be an assistant in the end.

"How could I be the kind of person who can only be the boss for a while!" Sun Zhuo felt that he was really driven crazy by the media, and he was about to start thinking crankily.

Sun Zhuo is now facing huge pressure, but the NBA currently has a lot of back-to-back schedules, and it has not given Sun Zhuo a chance to breathe and adjust, and the next day, the Magic will play back-to-back games, and the opponent is still the Washington Wizards led by the great general Arenas, and it is still away.

Sun Zhuo came back with illness yesterday, and came to Washington today, not only did the illness not recover, but there was a serious trend, in such a tight schedule, Sun Zhuo may also find it difficult to find the state of the game today.

Arenas has always regarded Sun Zhuo as a competitor, both of whom have gone from being taken seriously to slowly playing a game, and they are both crazy now.

"Hey, man, you look very bad, but, I'm sorry, I won't let you, I'll blow you up today, as a welcome gift to the east, don't believe the that the west is strong and the east is weak, the east is even more terrifying, you know?" Arenas walked towards Sun Zhuo before the game.

Sun Zhuo knows that the guy in front of him is averaging nearly 30 points per game, and with Sun Zhuo's current state, the probability of losing to him in the individual duel tonight is very high.

"How come I met the top four in the scoring list this season so early, no, I can't lose to him." After Sun Zhuo experienced one-on-one with Kobe, this stubborn psychology of not wanting to lose became even stronger.

However, Arenas is in too good shape, scoring as he wants, and Sun Zhuo can be said to be a house leak that has been rained overnight, and his condition is not good, Sun Zhuo wants to use some more confident scoring methods, BUG can of course be used at any time, but there is a limit on the number of uses, and it will not be used a few times, Sun Zhuo wants to try more corner three-point shots that can be used infinitely.

Sun Zhuo quickly got three shots in the left and right corners, but missed all three.

One of them was alerted by Arenas and rushed over to cover it, and the other two, unexpectedly all lost!

The 90 percent shooting rate of three points in the bottom corner turned out to be two consecutive shots!

"Ten percent probability, two times in a row? What kind of luck am I doing? ”

Being suppressed by Arenas all the time, Sun Zhuo also became more impatient, and when he hit the basket once, he suffered another slight injury and was forced to leave the court.

However, after Sun Zhuo left, the Magic team, led by Howard and Turkoglou, turned the tables and won against the Wizards.

"Congratulations on reaching the maximum level of 50!"

At the end of the game, Sun Zhuo was pleasantly surprised to find that he was already at the full level in the locker room!

However, the current situation did not give Sun Zhuo time and mood to be happy and celebrate, and after this game, Sun Zhuo was questioned again, and Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith both questioned and criticized Sun Zhuo's leadership ability.

Kenny Smith: "Son doesn't deserve to be a team leader, he's played terrible in these two games, he's not as good as a role player, and now he can't even shoot the bottom corner three-pointers that he is best at, I don't know what else he can do on the court." ”

Charles Barkley said bluntly: "I watch the Magic game, and I really think that Sun and others are completely in two leagues now, and Sun's level should go to the development league, and he can't adapt to the NBA game." ”
