Chapter 256: Defeat to the Spurs!
Artest decided that he had won, and the Lakers were definitely not the opponent of the Spurs, so he arranged the donkey in advance, and after the game was over, Artest found a way to lead the donkey into the hall, or on the court, or in the Lakers' locker room, so that Sun Zhuo could fulfill his promise in public.
"Hahaha, hahahaha...... I'm so looking forward to seeing that! Eric Sun, the most arrogant and incomprehensible newcomer in the NBA in the past decade, has been taught by me to kiss the ass in public, and there will be many people who thank me, JR Smith, Dwight Howard, LeBron James...... In a Chinese phrase, I am doing the right thing for heaven! Artest couldn't stop cheering in his seat.
The players of the Spurs also know the bet between Sun Zhuo and Artest, although Popovich and they don't like Artest very much, but at present, their most urgent opponent to solve and revenge is Sun Zhuo, frankly speaking, everyone has a bit of a dark psychology, after Sun Zhuo entered the league, there are many people who have been bullied, such as Ginobili's national teammate Nocioni, so there are still many people looking forward to letting Sun Zhuo enter that situation.
Jessica Alba's face was not good, she didn't know why Sun Zhuo wanted to make this bet with Artest, not to mention that the Lakers' winning rate was not high, even if the Lakers' strength was stronger than the Spurs, she didn't want Sun Zhuo to do such a thing, her advice to Sun Zhuo was to stay away from such wicked people, don't be like them, but Sun Zhuo didn't listen to her.
Looking at the backward score and the strong Spurs, Jessica Alba did not want to see Sun Zhuo, who chose to fulfill or not fulfill his promise after the Lakers lost, and chose to leave the court early.
Sun Zhuo has always put all his attention on the court, especially when he has to remember every attack and defense of the Spurs, so that when he does it again, he can do something in advance, and it was a long time before he found out that Jessica Alba was gone.
At first, he thought Jessica Alba was going to the toilet, but after a while, he was adamant that Jessica was really gone.
Sun Zhuo didn't blame Jessica, but he did feel a little disappointed.
"It's not that she doesn't believe I can win, she just doesn't want to see me do something like this that would embarrass herself."
Regarding the issue of Artest, Sun Zhuo and Jessica also talked about it, Jessica has always asked Sun Zhuo to avoid him, but Sun Zhuo can't do it.
The arena is like a battlefield, you can't choose to escape in the face of anyone, besides, Sun Zhuo is really sure that he can teach Artest a lesson, so that Artest will not dare to provoke himself easily in the future, but Jessica Alba doesn't know that he can repeat the game.
"In her eyes, I might be an adventurous lunatic, right? But I couldn't tell her my secret. ”
Sun Zhuo pondered for a moment, and quickly returned his attention to the playing field.
Ginobili is really fierce, and in the second quarter he has become the highest scoring player on the team, and many of Ginobili's scores do not rely on the cooperation between teammates, sometimes he does it alone, from the top of the arc by himself to several people to the basket to dunk, or on the side of various feet shaking to score, Sun Zhuo doubts that he does this, Popovich will be angry.
But looking at Popovich's expression, it's very good, and he continues to let Ginobili do this, it seems that as long as the Spurs win, in what way, Popovich doesn't care anymore.
Sun Zhuo carefully analyzed Ginobili's scoring method, fortunately, he could stop him when he challenged again, but Ginobili's demon knife does not have a too fixed routine, if you stop him from attacking like this, he can change to another way of attacking, and he can still score.
However, Sun Zhuo found that most of his scores were layups and dunks close to the basket or mid-range shots, and he made 1 of 4 three-pointers, but he didn't feel very good.
"If I play again, I can force him to shoot more from the outside." Sun Zhuo secretly wrote it down.
The Spurs played well, and the Lakers were not completely without resistance, Kobe Bryant wanted to prove that he could lead the team to win for a long time, and this playoff game against the Spurs was the best opportunity to prove himself, from the beginning, Kobe Bryant shouldered the burden of the team's scoring, and the Spurs did not have a person who could limit Kobe Bryant well.
Kobe Bryant scored 16 points in the half, and after watching Kobe's performance, Sun Zhuo was glad in his heart: "Fortunately, Kobe is in good shape, and we have hope of winning." ”
At halftime, the Spurs ended the first half with an eight-point lead at 52:44.
When walking back to the locker room, Sun Zhuo was suddenly stopped by Artest.
"Hey!"
Hearing Artest's voice, Sun Zhuo stopped and glanced back.
Artest said proudly: "Now, I think I have to tell you a secret, I am the one who was reborn from two years later, the Spurs swept the Lakers 4-0, this is the end of you, you don't struggle anymore, accept your fate." ”
Sun Zhuo couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, "You are a reborn?" ”
"Of course." Artest laughed.
"It's such a coincidence, and so am I." Sun Zhuo smiled, didn't say anything more, and walked back to the locker room.
Artest smiled and returned to his seat, obviously not taking the truth that Sun Zhuo had just said seriously.
In the second half, the Spurs began to continue to put pressure on the Lakers, instantly widening the margin to double digits again, and it kept going.
Sun Zhuo also paid close attention to the way the Spurs scored, and gradually, he noticed a problem.
"The Spurs' scoring is basically done by Duncan and Ginobili, and the others have very few shots, like Bruce Bowen, who has played a lot of time on the court, but he has not made a single shot, and Muhammad has only five or six shots, and Tony Parker has a lot of shots, but he only scored five points, and his shooting percentage is very bad."
Now that he knows that Ginobili and Duncan are in good form and efficient, then if they do it again, Sun Zhuo will avoid conceding the ball on the two of them, and try to let Tony Parker, who is not in good shape, or Bowen, who doesn't want to shoot, attack.
As soon as the thought came to mind, Tony Parker missed another ball.
"I have a hunch that Parker is going to be a crucial breakthrough in helping us win."
Then, Sun Zhuo began to get serious, and he wanted to know how the Spurs would defend themselves if he scored consecutive points.
Sun Zhuo scored six points in a row, Spurs and Artest were nervous, thinking that Sun Zhuo was going to start chasing points, and then, Sun Zhuo was quickly caught by two people as soon as he received the ball in the low post.
"The low post doesn't let me rely on playing."
Then, Sun Zhuo wanted to go around the bottom corner to catch the ball and shoot three points, but he was completely followed by Ginobili.
"The bottom corner doesn't give you a chance to catch the ball."
Sun Zhuo took advantage of the wind step to score under the basket, and as soon as he broke through a person, someone quickly stepped up to help defend.
"Don't let me make it to the basket."
Popovich's defense of Sun Zhuo is still very strict, basically sealing all the abilities that Sun Zhuo is currently good at, but once this happens, the rest of the Lakers will also get a chance, Sun Zhuo can only pray that when the time comes, Odom and they can give more strength.
Soon, after four quarters, the Lakers lost the game 90-104.
When the Lakers were about to return to the locker room, Artest, who was sitting in the VIP seat, suddenly rushed forward and shouted to Sun Zhuo: "Sun, you can't forget the bet between us, right?" ”
Fans nearby who knew the situation began to burst into bad laughter.
