Dwight Howard's mood at the moment is similar to Kyrie Irving in 2014, he was originally cultivated by the team as a leader, and suddenly a boss came over, and they came to win the championship, all the operations of the team must revolve around them, Howard must also cooperate with Sun Zhuo, in order to win the championship as soon as possible, which is a huge challenge for Howard.

What's more, Howard and Sun Zhuo still have grievances.

Sun Zhuo knew that Howard still remembered that he rode him last season, so he explained: "I have always wanted to explain to you about last season, I definitely didn't think about riding and dunking you, and I didn't lie to you, if I didn't do that to you, Kobe Bryant would do the same to you." ”

"Am I destined to be ridden by you?" Howard sneered in his heart, but he smiled on his face and said generously: "Hey, man, you don't have to worry about that, isn't that a normal thing in the NBA?" Didn't Shaquille O'Neal also get a dunk from you twice? After that, I felt a lot better, but occasionally someone pretended to be my fan and would take your poster and ask me to sign it, which really made me laugh and cry. ”

"Haha." Sun Zhuo likes Howard's cheerful personality very much, he knows that the two will not have a big conflict because of this matter, whether Howard really doesn't care or not, at least he is willing to show that he doesn't care.

Howard's personality and being Sun Zhuo's teammate will make Sun Zhuo feel very comfortable, but from the perspective of impacting the championship, such a character is not all good.

In any case, if the Magic wants to win the championship this season, Sun Zhuo alone is definitely not enough, and the big man in front of him is the one who can provide Sun Zhuo with the greatest help.

Sun Zhuo looked at the tall and sturdy 20-year-old man in front of him, his nickname is "Warcraft", if he has been looking at you with fierce eyes, he is also worthy of this title, he is the same as O'Neill, he is a big guy who can give people a physical shock.

Howard can become the only player in the league to replace James alone, winning the NBA Defensive Player of the Year three times in a row in 09-11, and leading the team to the Finals, his strength is absolutely undoubted.

Of course, that was a few years later, and now Howard has only been in the league for the second year, and I have the impression that Howard this year is averaging 16+13 per game, and he has not yet grown into a giant monster, but his top running and jumping ability, top rebounding ability and top defensive ability, and can be used by Sun Zhuo.

"Howard is going to be my most important helper, and this season, I'm going to help him grow." Sun Zhuo looked at Howard, already planning something in his heart.

After that, Sun Zhuo looked at his new teammate on the Magic team, Turkoglou.

"This guy ...... But single-handedly ruined the finals matchup between James and Kobe! Sun Zhuo couldn't help but sigh.

He is no stranger to Turkoglou, especially for the 09 Eastern Conference Finals, when the Magic were able to defeat the Cavaliers and rewrite the script that had been written by God, Howard the Monster was naturally the most important reason, but Turkoglou's performance could not be ignored.

Turkoglu is Turkish, two meters and eight meters tall, weighs 100 kilograms, and does not have a strong athletic talent, but he has the height of the No. 4 position, but has the projection of the No. 2 position and the organization of the No. 1 position, which is a headache for the opponent.

This season, Turkoglu will be the team's starting power forward.

"It's a pleasure to be teammates with you and I'm looking forward to playing with you." Sun Zhuo greeted Tekoglu in a friendly manner.

Tekoglu also smiled and replied, "I have admired the name for a long time, and I am looking forward to it." ”

At this time, the team's starting point guard DeShawn Stevenson took the initiative to shake hands with Sun Zhuo, "Hello, Sun, I'm DeShawn Stevenson, we have played each other before, but I guess you don't remember me, whether it is playing or scaring people this season, it counts me as a share, and I also think LeBron James is overrated." ”

DeSean Stevenson may not be impressed by many people, when he was on the Wizards, he provoked James many times in the playoffs, threatening that James was overrated, saying that James was an actor, and as a result, even the rap king JAY-Z wrote songs to scold him, ironically, when Stevenson was laid off in 2013 and couldn't find a job, he also tweeted to ask James for help and asked James to help him find a job with the Heat.

"Of course I remember you, you're a tough guy, but we should be nice to LeBron."

God knows if Stevenson will eventually fall to the point of asking James to find a job, and don't let him get involved in James's affairs.

"Be nice? Haha, I understand, I understand. Stevenson laughed.

After that, Sun Zhuo went to the point guard Jamil Nelson, who is 1.83 meters tall, he, like Howard, was also drafted last year, averaging 8.6 points + 3.5 assists per game last season, which is not outstanding, but it is also qualified, he played for a long time in the Magic team in his previous life, and he has always been conscientious.

Nelson shook hands with Sun Zhuo and said with a smile: "I'm very happy that you can join us, and finally you don't have to be Jiao Zuoren, by the way, are you going to Jiao Zuoren, a rookie in the class of 05 this year?" You can count me as one. ”

"Ahem......" Howard heard that there seemed to be something funny, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "You can also count me." ”

Sun Zhuo hadn't thought about the Jiaozuo plan for the 05-level newcomers, but he didn't expect Howard and Nelson to look forward to it.

Sun Zhuo laughed and said: "No problem, this season, we will work together to do a lot of things, not only for rookies, we can deal with anyone." ”

Howard, Turkogru, Sun Zhuo, Stevenson, Nelson, whether the starting five groups of this new season can get a place in today's league still needs the test of time, but in Sun Zhuo's opinion, this lineup is already very good.

And, let's not forget, the Magic also have a very good bench.

Carlos Arroyo, a point guard that Sun Zhuo likes very much, looks very delicate, a bit like Vin Diesel when he was young, is the actor of Fast and Furious, he was born in Puerto Rico, participated in the draft in 01, no one wanted it, and then stayed in the NBA on a 10-day short contract.

There's also Trivo Ariza, who was the starting forward for the Rockets in '14-17, and Rockets fans during this period will definitely be no stranger.

Ariza could once be the leader of the Rockets, and it was also in last year's draft that Sun Zhuo asked the Lakers management to choose a person, but the Lakers didn't listen to Sun Zhuo and was selected by the Knicks.

After the Lakers traded with the Magic, the Magic made another deal with the Knicks, acquiring Ariza from the Knicks.

There are also this year's rookie players, Danny Granger and Monta Ellis.

"Boss."

"Boss."

The two of them were very respectful to Sun Zhuo, and after coming to the magic team, they also heard that it was Sun Zhuo who suggested that the magic management choose them, which proved that Sun Zhuo admired these two people, and they naturally had a good impression of Sun Zhuo.

Looking at the group of teammates around him, there is the future league's No. 1 center, there is an all-round power forward who can destroy James, there is the most powerful assistant in the nightclub, there are Paul George's boss and Stephen Curry's boss, tsk, this lineup still looks very luxurious!

"This season, I must hit the championship, and this season, I will also try to hit the regular season MVP!"

Sun Zhuo's heart began to get excited, now this team is really your own team, only when you have your own team, you can attack the regular season MVP, the regular season MVP award, the addition to the historical status, can be said to be second only to the honor of the championship.

In Sun Zhuo's view, this is naturally a luxury championship lineup, but in the eyes of team coach Brian Hill, the team lineup is too young, especially the leader lineup, the two leaders Sun Zhuo and Howard, are the third and second year newcomers, although Sun Zhuo has entered the finals, but not as a leader, and has never led the team himself, Brian Hill does not know what kind of heights Ariza, Danny Granger and Monta Ellis will reach in the future, so the team is still based on exercise.

Coach Hill stepped forward and said, "Sun, welcome back, you and your teammates are not too familiar yet, why don't you divide into two groups now and play a practice match." ”

"Okay." Sun Zhuo happily accepted that he had been filming during this time, and he had been recovering from an injury some time ago, and he had not played for several months.

"Are your injuries healed?" Tekoglu asked with concern.

"It's totally fine, rest assured." Sun Zhuo responded with a smile.

After the grouping, Sun Zhuo, Tecoglu, Arroyo, Tony Barty, and Danny Granger were in one group, and Howard, Stevenson, Nelson, Ariza, and Pat Garrtier were in one group.

Sun Zhuo simply warmed up and started playing.

The others have played a few preseason games and have already entered the rhythm and state of the game, in contrast, although Sun Zhuo exercises and shoots whenever he has time, he is still in a much worse state than those who are fully dedicated.

After the practice match began, Sun Zhuo couldn't find his form at all, while Howard's side played smoothly, and after a while, he beat Sun Zhuo's group 20:8.

Seeing that Sun Zhuo was obviously not in good shape, Howard whispered to Nelson: "Man, he hasn't played for a long time, and he has probably completely forgotten how to play basketball in the past few months, and we have to take the opportunity to win him once." ”

In Howard's eyes, Sun Zhuo is still a newcomer to Magic, and he even wants to prove his strength in front of his teammates.

Gifted people are ambitious.

Sun Zhuo was a little depressed, his state was really bad, although he had been trying to train in the past few months, but he had never played a 5-on-5 game, he didn't know what to do on the field, plus he was teammates with these guys for the first time, and there was no tacit understanding between them.

Immediately afterwards, Howard received another assist from Nelson, and his hands were empty!

"Hey, we're 14 points ahead of you!" Howard said excitedly to Sun Zhuo.

Sun Zhuo was brought into the state of the game by this sentence all of a sudden, this practice match, he can't let Howard win, in the past two seasons, Sun Zhuo has been in the team environment of the team competing for the boss, this season, he doesn't want such a thing to happen again, that is, he must completely suppress Howard, let Howard surrender to himself, and assist with peace of mind.

"I have to get Howard to obey me, and besides, for the sake of that person, I have to get back to my form as quickly as possible."

Sun Zhuo had just returned to the United States, and his home in Orlando had not even been furnished, so he didn't have time to do this, and after that, Sun Zhuo wanted to return to Los Angeles again, and he had an agreement with Kobe, and he promised to be one-on-one with Kobe.

"Guys, we're going to get serious about the points, don't let them get too complacent." Sun Zhuo clapped his hands and said to his teammates.

Tekoglu and these people still rely on Sun Zhuo, after Sun Zhuo spoke, they became more serious on defense, and on offense, they knew that they only needed to watch Sun Zhuo's performance.

First of all, Sun Zhuo used his long-famous double-turn dunk, this dunk made Howard helpless, he already had the shadow of being ridden, and now it was a practice game, and Howard had no reason to forcibly stop this dunk.

This one dunk let everyone see Sun Zhuo's super dunk talent.

"Watching a live performance is different from watching a dunk on TV, it's so shocking." Monta Ellis looked like a fan, and last season's slam dunk contest, he watched Sun Zhuo's performance on TV, and was impressed by Sun Zhuo's dunk at that time.

"Oh no, Sun is going to start fighting back." Howard still wanted to win this practice match, so he wanted to continue scoring to maintain the lead, but the next time he got the ball, he was cut off by Arroyo.

Sun Zhuo knew Arroyo's ability, and gave Arroyo a look in advance, Arroyo started quickly, Howard was cut off by Arroyo as soon as he received the ball, and then, a long pass was made to Sun Zhuo, and Sun Zhuo shot a three-pointer in the bottom corner.

Chasing 5 points in a row, the difference in points is not much, there is no time limit in the practice match, Sun Zhuo's group is getting better and better, and it is only a matter of time to catch up.

Next, Sun Zhuo let them understand their ability to rely on play and the strength of the European step-by-step buckle, helping their group quickly overtake the score, and everyone saw Sun Zhuo's super personal strength.

"There is no doubt that he will be the leader of the Magic team, he is much more mature and powerful than Dwight Howard, he is a monster who has scored 60 points in a single game!" Tekoglu has been teammates with Sun Zhuo for more than ten minutes, and he has already felt Sun Zhuo's awesomeness, and he is looking forward to seeing Sun Zhuo do something great when the official game comes.

Seeing that Sun Zhuo had no intention of stopping at all, Howard took the initiative to surrender: "If you don't fight, you won't fight, we will admit defeat." ”

Coach Hill also stepped forward and smiled at Sun Zhuo: "You just came back, don't be so excited, I'll arrange a practice match for you every day these days." ”

"Thanks, but tomorrow I'm going to get out of here for a while and go back to Los Angeles."

"Back to Los Angeles? Is there something that hasn't been resolved over there? ”

"Yes, there's only one left."
