Chapter 470: The Third Battle of the Finals!
The Lakers won the first game, and Sun Zhuo won Kobe Bryant in personal data, which seems to be very similar to Kenny Smith's previous prediction, in this game, Sun Zhuo has proved that he is worthy of the name of the world's No. 1, even if it is as strong as Kobe, it is slightly inferior to Sun Zhuo.
In the first game of the finals, victory or defeat is not too important, Sun Zhuo and Kobe Bryant gave such a wonderful individual performance, which is enjoyed by every fan.
After the game, the Lakers returned to the locker room, the players were all elated, and praised Kobe Bryant, who led the team to victory today, as a hero, but Kobe's mood was not too good, of course he was happy to win, he really wanted to win another championship after leaving O'Neal, but in his heart, he always felt that it was not perfect, because in terms of personal scoring ability, Kobe Bryant seemed to lose.
Phil Jackson was naturally the happiest one, smiling at Kobe and saying, "Well done today, hard work, people will only remember how many points the guy who won the championship and FMVP scored." ”
Kobe Bryant smiled and nodded, history will only record those winners, and Kobe should not be too entangled in the personal competition with Sun Zhuo, perhaps, Sun Zhuo was born to score.
The players of the Lakers didn't expect that they would usher in the arrival of their opponents, and it was Sun Zhuo!
Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol were stunned when they saw Sun Zhuo's visit, what is Sun Zhuo doing here? He was unwilling to lose? Is he coming to fight? But why did he come alone, he should call Artest again. Or was he trying to show off that he scored 71 points, once again set a new playoff single-game scoring record, and managed to win the individual battle against Kobe?
"Hey, Sun." After Kobe Bryant saw Sun Zhuo, he greeted him happily and friendly, he knew that Sun Zhuo was not here to find trouble, after all, Sun Zhuo was also a player of the Lakers, like Kobe, Odom, and Fisher, they were all teammates with Sun Zhuo, and they played under the Zen master together.
"Kobe, congratulations on winning the first game." Sun Zhuo smiled and said that when he came to the Lakers home team locker room, he still felt very cordial, and unconsciously glanced at his former wardrobe.
Sun Zhuo didn't come to congratulate them this time, he came to find Phil Jackson.
"Phil, do you have time to talk after the series?" Sun Zhuo sent out an invitation to the Zen master.
Phil Jackson didn't know why Sun Zhuo wanted to see him, maybe there were some things to talk about, the two always had endless words and endless stories, and they also enjoyed chatting with Sun Zhuo very much, and happily agreed: "No problem, no matter who wins the championship at that time, I promise that this will not affect our conversation." ”
After Sun Zhuo left, other players were also speculating about why Sun Zhuo asked the Zen master, and Odom quipped: "Maybe he knew that our squad would always win championships, and he was considering rejoining us." ”
"Haha." The others also laughed, but Kobe Bryant didn't laugh, because if Sun Zhuo really joined the Lakers, would Kobe still be the boss?
In the first game, Phil Jackson's understanding of Sun Zhuo helped the Lakers win, Sun Zhuo had a lot of mistakes and fouls, and almost left the game with a full foul, but that's it, he also scored 71 points, so there are many experts who analyze that Sun Zhuo's single playoff score ceiling is by no means 71 points, and one day in the future, he will continue to refresh this record.
There wasn't much time to adjust, and soon it was the second game of the finals.
Yu Jia and Zhang Weiping also went to the Staples Center Arena in Los Angeles to feel the atmosphere of the scene, although they as Chinese are supporting Sun Zhuo and the Magic team, but when commenting on the scene, it is difficult not to be driven by the atmosphere of the scene, every time the Lakers score, it will cause cheers on the scene, on the contrary, when the Magic team scores, the scene is quiet, Yu Jia and Zhang Weiping's emotions will also be affected, passion can not be mobilized.
Yu Jia: "The first game became a solo exhibition match between Sun Zhuo and Kobe, one of the two scored 63 points, and the other scored 71 points. ”
Zhang Weiping said: "I don't think this second game will be over, both of them should be tired, and there are seven games in the series, it is impossible to play like this every game, the personal duel between Sun Zhuo and Kobe Bryant has ended, and the next is the contest between the whole team, Kobe Bryant scored more than 60 points on the top of Artest's head in the last game, is it facing Artest, Kobe will become more and more handy, Artest will lose confidence and patience when defending, and become more impatient?" It's all something to observe. ”
Hearing this, Yu Jia asked: "Just now you said that Kobe Bryant scored more than 60 points, and Artest, who defended him, would become defenseless and unconfident, so Sun Zhuo scored 71 points, will the players who defend Sun Zhuo also ......?"
Zhang Weiping smiled and waved his hand: "No, it's a long time since I lost confidence, they knew from the beginning that they couldn't deal with Sun Zhuo, unlike Artest, before the finals, they also swore that they would guard against Kobe, the only thing they could do was to cut off Sun Zhuo's contact with his teammates and prevent his teammates from playing." ”
At the scene of the game, due to the excitement of the last game, the audience was still enthusiastic in this game, and they were looking forward to Kobe Bryant and Sun Zhuo to stage such a personal battle again.
But Sun Zhuo and Kobe Bryant are really tired.
It's not physical tiredness, but mental tiredness, and the mental pressure brought by the duel is impossible for ordinary players to experience.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the game, Kobe Bryant and Sun Zhuo did not attack by themselves, but handed them all over to their teammates, the Lakers relied on the cooperation of Pau Gasol and Odom to score one, and on the Magic side, it was Monta Alice who scored a three-pointer by himself.
In the first quarter of the game, Sun Zhuo scored 6 points and Kobe Bryant scored 5 points.
In the second quarter of the game, the two began to take over some offense slightly, but they did not force shots and continuous offenses until the third quarter, when Sun Zhuo couldn't sit still at first.
"Two away games, as long as you win one, then this series is easy to play." Sun Zhuo wanted to win the first game early, so he suddenly attacked the Lakers in the third quarter and hit a three-pointer to open the score.
"Are you going to start? Great, you can get a response from me at any time. Seeing that Sun Zhuo was about to start to exert his power, Kobe Bryant also hit consecutive shots and brought the score closer.
Who knows, at this time, Durant's outside touch is also open, and together with Sun Zhuo, he keeps attacking the basket in the middle and long distance, hitting one shot after another.
And Kobe Bryant suddenly was out of shape, but Odom suddenly played an important role, but soon, Sun Zhuo once again widened the point difference and put pressure on the Lakers again.
"That's how he wants to win the second game." Phil Jackson could see Sun Zhuo's desire for this victory, but these two games, both of which were in Los Angeles, were the home of the Lakers, and they had no reason for Sun Zhuo to take a victory away from here.
Today, Kobe's state is obviously not as good as the last game, at this time, if you want to deal with Sun Zhuo through Kobe alone, I'm afraid it won't work, the only way is to completely block Sun Zhuo and prevent him from continuing.
Phil Jackson took the risk to wrap up Sun Zhuo and put the outside line of the Magic team, Monta Ellis and Kevin Durant did not disappoint Sun Zhuo very much, and even shot one into the other, at first there was still no defense, and in the end, there was still a defense.
Phil Jackson shook his head helplessly and sighed, it seems that today's luck is on the Magic side, whether it is Sun Zhuo or his teammates, they can end this game.
Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene became more and more silent, Yu Jia said: "I feel that after the Lakers won one game, this game has no strength, except for Odom, which is a small outburst, Kobe Bryant and others don't even have the strength to play in the Western Conference Finals." ”
Zhang Weiping said: "Although the Lakers won the last game, but in the ace matchup, they lost, if the Magic does not have such a superstar as Sun Zhuo, then the Lakers won the first game, the second game will be more exciting, will win more easily, but if the Magic has Sun Zhuo, everyone knows that you don't play hard, don't limit Sun Zhuo, don't want to win, this invisibly gives them a kind of pressure, plus today's Magic team's outside line is fully open, and the Lakers' courage to chase points is gone." ”
"I feel like that, especially when they're behind, and it seems like it's going to get really panicked. Or is it because Sun Zhuo's scoring ability is too explosive. Yu Jia wrote what he felt at the scene today, and then wrote it in his blog, Sun Zhuo's 71 points in the first game, although he did not win, but it gave every Lakers player a deterrent, they watched the game more difficult and complicated, and there was no longer a relaxed mentality.
The game ended quickly, and with Sun Zhuo and the rest of the players playing well, the Magic won the second game and turned the big score into a 1-1 draw.
That's not a good thing for the Lakers.
In the first game, Sun Zhuo scored 71 points.
In the second game, Sun Zhuo won.
In an interview with reporters after the game, Artest proudly said the popular words some time ago: "Since you can get home advantage in the finals in one game, why play hard in the regular season?" ”
"Because Kobe Bryant is going to win the MVP." After seeing Artest's remarks, countless people replied on the Internet that even if the Lakers lost the home-court advantage, these records in the regular season were by no means without gains, and Kobe's regular season MVP was the biggest one.
After two games, the Magic were soon back in Orlando.
After Sun Zhuo returned home, Kerry couldn't wait to kiss Sun Zhuo, she didn't go to Los Angeles with her, but waited for him to come back in Orlando, and played a 1:1 record away from home, which was already considered a victory, so Kerry was also very happy and expressed it to Sun Zhuo in a kissing way.
Sun Zhuo and Kerry have been together for a short time, but because Sun Zhuo is going to compete in various places, Kerry sometimes goes to other places to film, not because they meet every day, the two are still in the stage of love, every kiss is really kissing, not doing a routine thing like eating and drinking, they all have real feelings, which leads to some things that will continue to happen to the two.
"I want to have a baby with you." Kerry said to Sun Zhuo.
Sun Zhuo stroked Kerry's hair, looked at her royal blue eyes, and did not speak.
"After the finals, I'll go back to China with you, right?" Kerry said to Sun Zhuo again.
"Aren't you planning to go to BJ again in July?" Sun Zhuo asked, after returning to China, he had some things to do about the secret league, and he wanted to arrange it.
"I've changed my mind, this summer, I'm not going to be separated from you for a minute, is that okay?" Carrey's voice was gentle and soulful.
Sun Zhuo's eyes flashed, he nodded, and then hugged Kerry in his arms, at this moment, he even had the urge to tell Kerry everything.
Because Sun Zhuo is a reborn person, he has a system, and he is burdened with this secret, Sun Zhuo has always felt that he can't love each other as much as Kerry, there are lies and concealments in love, and it is no longer the purest love, although Sun Zhuo is an athlete, he attaches more importance to love than anyone else.
Kerry snuggled in Sun Zhuo's arms, Sun Zhuo didn't know that Kerry was smiling at this time, and he began to imagine the scene where Kerry knew his secret, but this assumption made Sun Zhuo a little flustered.
……
The scene of the third game.
It's not Los Angeles, but there are plenty of celebrities on the sidelines, including some die-hard Lakers fans who bet on Sun Zhuo on the sidelines.
One of the great things about playing at home is that almost everyone on the pitch is there to support you, they don't disturb your emotions, they just give you motivation.
In a series, in the first few games, the players will not lack too much motivation, but when they play, they are easy to get tired, so the more the series reaches the last two games, the advantages and disadvantages of home and away games will be more obvious.
The third game is not a very important one.
Both sides are doing the same thing as before, but what people didn't expect was that this time, Artest suddenly broke out.
He started with three three-point shots from the perimeter and quickly scored more than a dozen points.
"Artest has finally found his senses." Sun Zhuo was also very pleased, bringing Artest in, not just to let him defend, his scoring ability is also very important, he was the second scorer when he was the king before.
"Ron Artest......" Kobe Bryant looked at Artest proudly, and felt very uncomfortable, because now Artest is defended by him, if Artest is allowed to limit his scoring on the one hand, and Artest scores on the other hand, then Kobe Bryant is not exploded at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends?
"Since he has a good hand, let him attack, and it's not like I can't defend." Kobe snorted coldly, Kobe is a super scorer, but many people forget that one-on-one defense, Kobe is also very strong, he, like Jordan, when defending, not only to defend the opponent, but also to make the opponent's confidence collapse.
Kobe Bryant couldn't make a super scorer like Sun Zhuo collapse in confidence, but Kobe Bryant was still very confident in dealing with Artest, who had a good and bad hand.
"Don't shoot anymore and you'll be 100 percent three-pointers." Bryant said to Artest.
