The picture of Kobe and O'Neal spewing dirty words and almost fighting each other in the locker room this season is still vivid, plus the season is about to end, Kobe and O'Neal have since parted ways and gone their separate ways, who would have thought that at this time, Kobe and O'Neal would get along so harmoniously?

This is completely illogical.

Sun Zhuo was also shocked by this rare picture of love, he knew that Kobe and O'Neal could reconcile, and he was absolutely indispensable, it was precisely because Sun Zhuo threatened the two that the two had a common "enemy", so they would unite together.

Kobe and O'Neal laughed and trained and played on the training ground like this, which made Phil Jackson and the Lakers' old players extremely emotional, once Kobe and O'Neal were also "like glue", and the relationship was very close, O'Neal could even tolerate Kobe Bryant riding on the training ground, and saw that the two could train jokingly again, which made the Zen master and others feel in a trance that time returned to a few years ago when the OK group was first established.

At this time, Sun Zhuo also sighed with emotion, and said to the Zen master and the others: "The OK combination is one of the greatest combinations in history, I don't want to see the two of them end up in the same relationship as before, and now that I see them reconciled, I think I have completed the task." Coach, in Game 5, I won't have so many risky steals, I won't go out of my way to look for shots. ”

The Zen master and the assistant coach next to him were stunned for a moment, could it be that Sun Zhuo's two consecutive 40+ games were done on purpose? Is it to stimulate O'Neal and Kobe Bryant to put aside their grievances and get back together?

They have always thought that Sun Zhuo is the most selfless and loving player in the team, but after two crazy 40+ games, they don't dare to think like this anymore, but now Sun Zhuo took the initiative to say that he would reduce his shots in the fifth game, and he would not deliberately steal to increase the number of shots, which seems to be really sincere......

In fact, Sun Zhuo's repeated challenge cards have been used up this season, and if he wants to repeat the magic of G3 and G4, he can't do it.

……

On 6/15/04, Game 5 of the Finals, the game continued on the home court of the Pistons.

The Pistons have fallen behind 1:3, and as long as they lose one more game, they will be eliminated, and before the game started, Pistons fans had worries written on their faces.

"The Lakers are so strong, they could win the championship today, it's so frustrating, we lost to a rookie."

"The first quarter will be the key to this game, the first two losses were all lost at the beginning, Sun always has the ability to lead the game in the beginning, if he is still in control of the opening today, then there will be no suspense for the Lakers to win the championship."

Not only Pistons fans, but even Pistons legend Smiling Assassin Thomas is deeply worried.

"The last time we met the Lakers in the Finals, I led the team to sweep them out, and this time, they're going to get revenge."

The game fell into a tense atmosphere at the beginning, everyone knew Sun Zhuo's ability to lead the game at the beginning, and the Pistons also showed Sun Zhuo's best defense and never let him bring out the rhythm again.

Without the repetition card, Sun Zhuo would not have known what would happen next or who of his teammates would be in better shape, and now O'Neal and Kobe Bryant have become more intimate, they occupy control of the ball, and Sun Zhuo can't bring the rhythm.

In the first quarter, the Pistons came up with the top defense, not only Sun Zhuo, O'Neal, Kobe, no one could score wantonly, and the entire Lakers team scored 15 points in the entire first quarter.

In this game, it doesn't matter to the Lakers whether they win or lose, but for the Pistons, it is a battle of life and death, either win or be eliminated, so in terms of momentum and attitude, the Pistons must be tougher than the Lakers.

In the second quarter, the Pistons' defense still made the Lakers uncomfortable, in this quarter, the Lakers scored 17 points as a team, only 2 more than the first quarter, and the halftime added up to 32 points, and the Lakers have never scored such a low score in the half.

This gave the Pistons hope for a comeback.

Halftime, Pistons locker room.

Rasheed Wallace looked excited, completely different from the state before the start of the game, "Have you noticed that Sun's risky steals, shots have decreased, and even the number of passes to him by Shaq and Kobe Bryant has decreased? ”

Larry Brown leaned against the wall with his hands on his chest, lifted his glasses, and said with a deep gaze: "I know what you want to say, you want to say that there is a conflict within the Lakers." ”

Rashid took off the red headband on his head, stood up and said excitedly, "Isn't it? We all know that Sun's data in the first four games is the best for the Lakers, if the Lakers win this game, as long as Sun's data is similar to Shaq and Kobe, then the FMVP will be Sun's, Shaq and Kobe Bryant definitely don't want Sun to get FMVP, so they isolate him, and all three of them want to grab it! This is an opportunity for us! ”

Rashid Wallace's words made the other Pistons players excited, and Larry Brown had already seen this, but said: "Maybe they really think so, maybe they don't, we can't pin our hopes on their problems, whether they are united or not, as long as we do a good job of defense and offense, we will definitely be able to turn the tables." ”

"It will definitely turn the tables!" Rasheed Wallace put on the red headband again and became scrappy again.

In the second half of the game, Rasheed Wallace's conjecture was once again verified, and today's Sun Zhuo's data is no longer as good as Kobe and O'Neal, but only by the OK combination, it is impossible to defeat the Pistons, Sun Zhuo plays a vital role in the game, Sun Zhuo failed to play bravely, and the Lakers lost to the Pistons again.

2:3。

The Pistons pulled one back.

Maybe the Pistons shouldn't be too optimistic, because the next two games are played on the Lakers' home court, but now they have seen the selfishness of O'Neal, Kobe, and Sun Zhuo who want to get FMVP, and the Pistons, there has never been such a problem, everyone can take it, can't a team with a concerted effort win a team that is in its own camp?

On the plane back to Los Angeles from Detroit, the Lakers players were very quiet, and there were basically few people communicating with each other throughout the whole process, and the team was now in a very strange atmosphere, but everyone knew the reason for this strangeness.

In the fifth game, O'Neal scored 16 points, Kobe Bryant scored 16 points, and Sun Zhuo scored 14 points, and the average data per game is still almost the same, which means that the internal competition between the three will continue.

The Lakers' current unhealthy state made team owner Jerry Bas very uneasy, and on the night Sun Zhuo returned to Los Angeles, Jerry Buss invited Sun Zhuo to his home for dinner, which was the first time Sun Zhuo received such treatment since joining the Lakers.

That night, Emma, the beauty agent, drove Sun Zhuo to the mansion of the old Bass, but Buzz did not come out to greet him in person, but came out to greet a mixed-race woman with a devil's body, she looked very charming, and looked like a professional model from a distance.

The mixed-race beauty personally opened the car door for Sun Zhuo, and glanced at Emma, who was also in good shape in the driver's seat, and praised: "Your girlfriend is in a great figure." ”

"You're mistaken, she's my agent." Sun Zhuo didn't know who this woman was, but he always felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"Oh, really?" When the mixed-race beauty heard this, she took the initiative to stretch out her hand to Sun Zhuo's face and tease it.

Seeing this, Emma just wanted to get out of the car, so she fastened her seat belt again, and said, "Sun, I guess Buzz saw that you played too hard in the finals, and wanted to treat you, not to talk to you about work, so I won't bother you." ”

After that, Emma reversed and left directly, no matter how Sun Zhuo called, he couldn't keep it.

"Let's go, Mr. Bass has been waiting for you for a long time." The mixed-race beauty grabbed Sun Zhuo's arm and said with a charming expression.

Sun Zhuo was a little at a loss: "Old Bass won't forcibly stuff a woman for me like Shaq, right?" ”
