The Magic team came to San Antonio with a score of 1:1, and actually won two games in a row on the road, one game of Howard and the other game of Sun Zhuo's explosion, resulting in the stronger Spurs being attacked twice in a row, which was not expected by everyone.

Now, the Magic have one more game on the road at Spurs' home stadium, and they only need one win to claim the championship.

The next day, the Magic players were no longer stressed when they were in practice, with Montaelis happily playing one-on-one with Paul Millsap, and Danny Granger and Ariza also playing high.

Sun Zhuo and Howard currently have half of the odds of winning FMVP, and the atmosphere is not too stiff, Howard still has a chance, so he didn't put on a face, and still greeted Sun Zhuo as usual, but Howard coughed from time to time today, which made Sun Zhuo a little worried: "Dwight, are you okay?" Don't get sick at this time. ”

Howard's face was not bad: "It's just a little uncomfortable, it shouldn't be a big deal." ”

Sun Zhuo nodded, and did not forget to cheer up all his teammates: "Guys, we are only one victory away from the championship, don't slack off in training these two days, and strive to return to Orlando with the championship trophy!" ”

"Good!"

"No problem!"

Everyone also responded one after another, and their morale was high.

However, Howard suddenly walked up to Sun Zhuo and asked in a low voice, "Sun, do you really think we can win this series 4:1?" The Spurs are so strong, to be honest, I'm a little unbelievable at 3:1 now, are you going to finish it desperately in Game 5? ”

Sun Zhuo replied truthfully: "No, the Spurs will not let us win the championship on their home court, and the next game will definitely be difficult to play, but if there is a chance, of course, it is better to end it as soon as possible." ”

Howard nodded, he understood that what Sun Zhuo said to everyone just now was just to boost morale, and Sun Zhuo didn't think that the fifth game would be won smoothly.

In this case, Howard has a plan in mind.

"The real duel doesn't seem to be in the fifth, it's in Orlando."

……

On June 16, Game 5 of the Finals, which was also the last game at Spurs' home stadium.

Since today may be the last game of the Finals, NBA commissioner David Stern and Bill Russell are all on the scene, not to mention all media reporters.

Even so, experts and fans still think that the finals will not end so early, the Spurs are not opponents who will be defeated 1:4, in the regular season, the Magic is beaten, there are still many people who think that the overall strength of the Spurs is stronger than the Magic, and some people even feel that the 1:3 situation does not need to be worried at all.

As a perennially excellent team, the Spurs have indeed lived up to everyone's trust in him.

After the fourth defeat, after Popovich talked to everyone, everyone forgot about the situation in front of them for a while, and instead looked farther ahead, at the same time, they didn't care about the big score, and now they just want to win this game, and the Spurs can't win only one game in a series, which is too embarrassing.

The Spurs played their wonderful cooperation again, Tim Duncan played his superstar nature, opening with five of five, in very good shape, Tony Parker is still a point that the Magic team can't solve, and on the Magic side, Sun Zhuo and Howard don't look like they're going to break out, they all know that this Spurs will defend and will be quite difficult to play.

Seeing that the Spurs have been suppressing the Magic, Yu Jia and Zhang Weiping also faintly feel that the Magic don't want to chase anymore, this is also a normal psychology, they are already leading 3:1, and they are in the opponent's away game, no one is sure to win three away games in a row, besides, for the Magic, it is also a good thing to go back to the home court to win the championship and enjoy the cheers of the home fans.

So, Yu Jia chatted with Zhang Weiping, Yu Jia admired Duncan's calmness, and said: "Two days ago, Howard's outburst, many people said that Howard is already the strongest interior in the league, I think it can be said that he is the most talented interior in the league, in many ways, Howard is not as good as Duncan, you see Duncan unknowingly took 20 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks, and he is more stable, and he can be comfortable with any defense." ”

Zhang Weiping said: "Yes, in fact, the entire Spurs team is very powerful, the Spurs can become a strong team for ten years, a very important point is that the coach is the first, there are no privileged players, you look at Duncan, you can become a star player like Kobe Bryant and Sun Zhuo, but he is often scolded by Popovich in the team, and after scolding, people feel that it is okay, and he will turn back to tease Popovich, Duncan is too good to coach, Popovich can make this Spurs the strongest team in the league, I think, if Duncan is old or retired in the future, Even if the Spurs management can still pick good rookies, and even if Popovich can still play this European style of play, it is difficult for the Spurs to be in the ranks of championship contenders every year. ”

Yu Jia agreed: "Tim Duncan is indeed very good, and the relationship between him and his coach and teammates is indestructible, on the contrary, the Magic is a little worse, even if in the usual performance, I feel that Howard and Sun Zhuo are more tacit when they are in the air or perform together, and the Magic still have to learn more from the Spurs if they want to build a dynasty." ”

In fact, in this game, Yu Jia and Zhang Weiping felt that Sun Zhuo and Howard were a little bit of their own fights, but fortunately, the Magic couldn't win this game, if the Magic wanted to win this game, they would immediately decide the ownership of FMVP, and I was afraid the scene would be even more difficult to control.

As a result, the fifth game ended, and the Spurs chased 2:3.

In this game, Sun Zhuo scored 24 points, Howard scored 22 points, rebounds and blocks are still Howard's advantage, and assists are still more Sun Zhuo.

After five games, Sun Zhuo and Howard still have the same probability of winning FMVP.

……

After five games, the Magic, Spurs, including David Stern, Bill Russell, and media reporters, all rushed from San Antonio to Orlando for the next sixth game.

Although I couldn't return to Orlando with the championship, when I came to Orlando, there were still many fans who picked up the plane and cheered them on, and the three consecutive away games were 2-1, which is already a very good result.

Everyone knows that if they enter the tiebreaker, home and away will not be so important, and everyone predicts that the Magic will go all out to win the championship in Game 6.

The sixth game will probably be the last game of the season!

On June 18, Game 6 of the Finals, at the home of the Orlando Magic, Magic fans shouted excitedly and couldn't wait to get their second championship.

The players on both teams of Magic and Spurs are also serious, especially Dwight Howard.

"This may be the last game of the series, until now, I still have a chance to win the FMVP, as long as this one, my data can win Sun ......"

At the beginning of the season, even before the start of the Finals, Howard didn't have the ambition and guts to grab the FMVP at all, but Popovich gave him this ambition, and his agent Fagan also gave him the guts, resulting in Howard becoming less simple, he no longer just wants to play happy basketball in general, follow Sun Zhuo to win the championship, laugh on the side, haha, he wants to be the protagonist.

And Sun Zhuo really wants to end this series in six games, there is no way, the opponent is too strong, if he is dragged to a tie-break by the Spurs, then the magic will be in danger.

However, while both Sun Zhuo and Howard had six settlement battles in mind, what they considered to be the "sixth" was different.

Howard thinks the sixth game is the one in front of him, and the sixth game that Sun Zhuo thinks is the one after this game, Sun Zhuo repeats the challenge card with the game.

In this game, the Spurs will definitely use all their resources to drag the series to the seventh game, so the probability of the Magic losing is very high, and Sun Zhuo is ready to use up the remaining challenge card at the end.

At this time, Sun Zhuo remembered that he still had a special training card on his body, which was useless.

"If you have a repeat challenge card, you don't need to use the special training card." Sun Zhuo currently has a competition repeat challenge card plus 9 special training card fragments, if he can successfully challenge O'Neill's last challenge, he can collect two, but now Sun Zhuo feels that he can't use it in the finals, so it's useless, and if he uses one alone, the effect is too little.

Before the game started, everyone was also discussing lively, most Magic fans uniformly dressed, but Kobe Bryant and Wade, who were in the VIP position on the sidelines, were naturally exceptions to the Lakers and Heat players.

Kobe Bryant glanced at Kerry Mulligan beside him and asked, "Kerry, Sun may be going to win the championship today, did he tell you where to take you to play in the offseason after winning the championship?" You can't be there for long, Dwyanwade and I are in Orlando, waiting to train with Sun. ”

Kerry smiled sweetly and said, "We didn't plan to go anywhere on vacation, but he did tell me that he was going to be out for a few days after the finals to take care of something." ”

"How many days away? Where to go? What to deal with? "Wade and Kobe Bryant were confused.

Kerry shook his head and said, "I don't know either." ”

The innocent Kerry made Wade and Kobe unable to see the element of deception, and Wade couldn't help but joke: "The outside world is rumored that he played in a secret league in China, and even you don't know what he's doing when he goes out this time, I'm afraid it has something to do with this, right?" ”

Kerry was a little overwhelmed, the more embarrassed she was and didn't know how to respond, the more she would laugh harder: "I don't know, I really don't know what you said about this secret league or something, you are all Sun's best brothers, if he has any secrets, I think he will tell you." ”

"Haha, I'm just kidding, Kerry." Wade smiled.

The game started quickly, and what everyone thought was the final battle, made everyone hold their breath in the first minute of the game and focus on the changes on the field.

The Spurs launched their first attack, and Sun Zhuo watched carefully from the sidelines so that he could have a chance to play when he did it again.

However, the Spurs' first attack, whether Duncan singled Howard, or an outside shot, was shot, which made Sun Zhuo a little melancholy, I'm afraid that if it happens again, this situation will still be unavoidable.

After that, it was the turn of the Magic to attack, and at this time, the Spurs did not dare to specifically block Sun Zhuo or Howard, and the defense against them was naturally the heaviest, but not to the point of targeting before.

Sun Zhuo's long-range shooting is still not much of a threat, and he also intends to use this as a test to play, and the scoring growth is very slow, not much like Howard.

"Sun is in average form today, this is my chance! This stats are better than his, and I'm the Most Valuable Player! Howard saw that Sun Zhuo didn't go crazy to brush the data, which made him see hope, so he was very excited.

"The rebound is mine!" Once again, Howard grabbed the frontcourt rebound from Duncan, and his rebound was also a guarantee that the Magic could win or eventually win the championship.

"Dwight!" Sun Zhuo called Howard from behind, wanting him to pass it out and organize another attack.

However, Howard didn't listen to Sun Zhuo, didn't pass to Sun Zhuo or anyone, and after getting the rebound, he directly singled Duncan, but how could Duncan be so easy to deal with? I put the hat down at once.

The block is not fierce, Howard got the ball again, and Sun Zhuo called Howard's name again, which reminded Howard of last year's finals, Howard, who was still a "rookie", was called by Sun Zhuo again and again in the finals, and every time he heard Sun Zhuo's voice, Howard would habitually tremble in his body, he was afraid of being blamed, afraid of being given such a big responsibility by the team.

At that time, Howard reported to Coach Hill that he was under a lot of pressure afterwards, and Coach Hill finally stabilized Howard and allowed Howard to survive and finally win the championship.

But today, Howard doesn't want to be at the mercy of Sun Zhuo anymore.

"I'm going to fight myself!" After being hatted, Howard punched Duncan again.

Bang!

Howard punched the frame hard, but Duncan was already knocked down by Howard and the referee blew for a foul on Howard.

"Is this guy crazy?" Sun Zhuo didn't expect Howard to be so aggressive, but given that the two were in a competitive relationship, he didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Turkoglu stepped forward and said to Howard, "Watch out for fouls, Dwight, don't hit hard." ”

This defeat did not stop Howard's aggressive style of play, he saw that Sun Zhuo's statistics were average today, and he was still excited to perform actively from offense to defense.

Sun Zhuo also saw all this.

"Howard, I didn't expect you to be so blatant as to grab FMVP with me, in the past two years, we have gotten along very well, I took you to the finals, took you Jiao Zuoren, and took you to play happy basketball, I thought you would recognize your role clearly, but I didn't expect ......"

Sun Zhuo was a little sad, and he didn't know if he would continue to work with Howard in the future, and how long the two could stay together.

"Howard, let's let you fantasize a little longer, no matter how many points you score now, how many rebounds and blocks you get, it's pointless, I'll destroy it soon."

"I also hope that when the time comes, I can destroy my hatred for you at the same time."
