Magic home locker room.

Coach Hill led the team back to the locker room to rest, Sun Zhuo had already trotted back early, and at this moment he had just taken off his shirt and sat to rest, with an excited smile on his face.

Coach Hill walked up to Sun Zhuo and said with a smile: "Sun, it's the first time I've seen you play so excitedly. ”

Sun Zhuo and Hill have not cooperated for a long time, the regular season has been more than ten days now, because Sun Zhuo has been questioned, Sun Zhuo is always very serious during the game, and he will focus on scoring every game, like today, after the game, he still competes with the opponent, and even cheats, Coach Hill is the first time to meet.

Sun Zhuo smiled: "Every time I play against LeBron, I get excited, and he really can't be compared to ordinary opponents." ”

Coach Hill could see that Sun Zhuo was enjoying the duel with James, so he smiled and said: "You guys are so-for-tat on the court, even if it's not the time for the game, you still don't want to fulfill the other party, it seems that there will be a hard battle in the second half." ”

Sun Zhuo nodded, the Cavaliers and the Magic were on par in the first half, because the Cavaliers took the lead, they were slightly ahead, but as the Magic team gradually got better, it was not a problem to defeat the Cavaliers, after all, in terms of team strength, the Magic was definitely stronger than the Knights.

The Cavaliers are a fringe team in the playoffs, a team that relies on James to support them, while the Magic rely only on Sun Zhuo and Howard to guarantee a playoff spot, and a number of role players are also stronger than the Cavaliers.

"I'm fine, Granger, how are you? You played a lot of time in the first half, and it may be up to you in the second half. Sun Zhuo asked Danny Granger, Granger is this year's rookie and has not been taken seriously, and in the previous games, he has not played on the court for so long, Sun Zhuo is afraid that Granger will not be able to bear it.

"I'm fine, boss, I'm fine! And I'm ...... The more I played, the more excited I became! Danny Granger returned to the locker room and poured water, he had never played so much in the first half since he entered the NBA, and today's performance also made Granger himself very excited.

Danny Granger has always respected Sun Zhuo very much, because he can come to Orlando, it is Sun Zhuo's proposal, and today he can get so long playing time, and he can compete with the Cavaliers ace James many times on the court, and it is also because of Sun Zhuo, in Granger's heart, no one in the team can compare to Sun Zhuo, not even Coach Hill.

In fact, with Sun Zhuo's current personal strength and global influence, he can indeed overpower Hill as a player.

Granger seemed to be afraid that Sun Zhuo would not believe that he could cope with the second half of the game, and took the initiative to say to Sun Zhuo: "I want to continue to partner with you in the second half, you believe me, I will try to defend LeBron James better!" ”

In the first half, Danny Granger limited the restrictions on James, after all, the opponent is James, the top three scorers this season, Granger is a rookie who is not good at defense.

Sun Zhuo saw Granger's serious face and was very excited, as if he wanted to show it today, he didn't know much about Granger, unlike Kobe, Durant, and Curry, where he went to school, and what kind of family he came from, so he sat next to Granger and asked softly: "Is there something wrong?" You can tell me. ”

Sun Zhuo has completely become a leader this season, which means that everyone in the team is related to him, he is not the leader of Kobe Bryant who keeps his distance from his teammates, he hopes that he will be closely connected with these people on the court and in life.

Granger did not hide from Sun Zhuo, and said truthfully: "It was a friend of mine from my childhood, he played basketball very well, but because of DUPIN, he was shot and also served a few years in prison, and today he just came out of prison to see my game, and he was on the spot." ”

Sun Zhuo sighed, it seems that Granger's growth experience is also full of hardships and hardships, Sun Zhuo knows this kind of player is not one or two, growing up in that environment, can not commit crimes, and finally enter the NBA, it is already remarkable.

Seeing Sun Zhuo's expression become solemn, Granger smiled, and said: "The environment in China and the United States is different, maybe what I said, it is difficult for you to understand, in fact, I was also shot when I was a child, when I was about 12 years old, there was a street called calhoun in the neighborhood where I lived, my father warned me not to go there, there is a house dedicated to DUPIN trading, there are often dead people on the street, I was playing basketball with my friends, passing by that street, suddenly someone rushed into the car and fired, Shot at me and the guy I was playing with, I drove into the bushes, but I was shot in the leg, you see, and still have scars. ”

Danny Granger lifted his right leg and showed Sun Zhuo the marks left by the shot.

Sun Zhuo didn't know what to say for a while, these guys had all experienced such terrible things outside the court, and they were still at such a young age.

After a slight pause, Sun Zhuo said: "I believe that you will not be defeated by LeBron, at least mentally, he will never be able to defeat you." ”

In the second half, Sun Zhuo decided to give Danny Granger more opportunities to perform, and since his childhood friend is here, let's give his friend a victory.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Sun Zhuo immediately exerted his strength, using the shooting to keep scoring, and at the same time, Danny Granger worked harder in defending James, and the point difference was quickly caught up and turned into a leader for the Magic team.

"Why is it that the Magic team is suddenly more motivated than we are?" James also became melancholy, the game started with the Cavaliers players who were more excited and got into the groove faster, but after halftime, it was the other way around, especially the rookie Danny Granger, who had never met before, was the most positive.

There must be a reason why a person is so combative on the court, James's reason is that he lost to Sun Zhuo four times, and he wants to win once, so what is the reason for this No. 33 rookie?

James was curious.

"Hey, boy, you can't stop me, but I like your defensive attitude." James praised Danny Granger, Granger's defense is still quite regular, there are no fouls, rookies, this class of players is probably only Chris Paul, Deron Williams and the current Danny Granger have this attitude of the game, James thinks such a player would be good if he came to the Cavaliers as his backup?

"Sun's luck is still better than mine, without Kobe and Shaq, but in the Magic there is still a last year's champion Dwight Howard, Dwight is also a player with unlimited potential, and this year he got a player like Danny Granger, and our Cavaliers have not joined a useful rookie in the past two years." James sighed.

Sun Zhuo will let the world know sooner or later that Danny Granger, Ariza, and Monta Ellis around him are all good basketball players and quasi-All-Star level players.

Sun Zhuo let Danny Granger be on the court all the time, although Granger occasionally made mistakes, his attitude on the court was really speechless, active defense, active rebounding, and very desperate in saving the ball.

A Magic team attack, it was Sun Zhuo's passing error, Sun Zhuo predicted Danny Granger's wrong position, passed the ball in advance, Danny Granger couldn't catch it, the ball flew to the audience, but Granger regarded the ball as his own mistake, flew to save the ball, and the whole person pounced on the first row seat and saved the ball.

Sun Zhuo felt a little sorry for Granger, and after that, he said to Granger: "You didn't have to work so hard to save the ball just now, was it my mistake, sorry." ”

Danny Granger said, "I did it for my friend, you don't have to be sorry. ”

"That friend of yours? Which one is it? Sun Zhuo was very curious about what a person with such fighting spirit could look like.

Danny Granger looked at the audience on the right, pointed up in one direction, and said, "The gray guy in the fifth row, he waved to me." ”

Sun Zhuo looked in the direction pointed by Granger and saw a man who was far more vicissitudes than Granger, this person looked as if he was thirty years old, how could he be Granger's childhood friend? And this person is dressed a little shabby, which is obviously different from the well-dressed spectators around him, and he doesn't look like someone who can watch the game from this position.

"Before he went to jail, he told me not to touch DUPIN and become a basketball player, but in terms of basketball, he was more talented than me, and I couldn't compare to him," Danny Granger said. ”

After a short lead, the Magic team was gradually overtaken by the Cavaliers, and I have to admit that the Magic team is still not a good enough team, and they make a lot of mistakes every game, and once these mistakes are caught by the opponent, even a team of the Cavaliers' level will eventually lead to losing the game.

Both teams, which were not strong enough, could not defeat their opponents with one blow when they had the advantage, and the game remained suspenseful until the last minute.

In this game, Sun Zhuo didn't score too many points, and when there was still the last minute of the game, the score was 36 points, while James only scored 30 points, less than Sun Zhuo, but he had 10 assists, more than Sun Zhuo.

"It's time for me to win him."

The Cavaliers are one point behind 97:98, the last offense, James does not have a helper like Ray Allen, Wade, and Irving, he chooses to shoot by himself, James's shooting, although it has not been very good, but sometimes his shooting is very murderous, James's ability to make key shots is not low, but the shooting percentage is low when the pressure is high, if you give him a little less pressure, his shooting will be more stable, so James often does some "fuel the fire" things, such as teammates are all crazy, Suddenly leading the opponent by more than ten points, James casually threw a three-pointer and a two-point throw at this time, and he could often shoot.

With James' shooting, the Cavaliers 99:98, overtaking by one point, with 4 seconds left.

The magic team called a last timeout to arrange tactics, this tactic, many people think that it was designed for Sun Zhuo, but Sun Zhuo did not want to end it himself.

On the one hand, the number of shots he relies on has been used up, and the opponent's defensive focus must be on Sun Zhuo, Sun Zhuo plays strongly, whether it is shooting on the outside or breaking through to the basket, he has to face one-to-many defense, and the success rate in this case may not be very high.

Sun Zhuo, on the other hand, wanted to give Danny Granger a chance.

"Coach, this time I'm going to break through the attraction defense, give the ball to Danny Granger, and let him shoot the last ball." Sun Zhuo took the initiative to request a tactic from the coach.

"Boss ......" Danny Granger was completely stunned, he was very lucky to be able to play on the court for so long in this game, but he didn't expect Sun Zhuo to be willing to give him even the last attack...... It was the fateful goal of the game!

"I ...... What qualifies to pitch this ball? "Granger has a cool appearance, a rookie rookie, but he doesn't take the already famous James in his eyes, and the same is true for others, but when it comes to such a moment, he has low self-esteem.

"Believe in yourself, you can." Sun Zhuo encouraged Granger, since Granger will grow into an All-Star player, what Sun Zhuo has to do is to speed up his growth, the first thing to do is to build his self-confidence, and shooting a killer shot will definitely bring him a lot of confidence.

Granger didn't shirk any further, and he glanced at the audience above, and he was going to shoot it for the sake of his friend.

So, the Magic made one last offense.

"He'll definitely use his speed to pull off the lore." James has already predicted Sun Zhuo's last attack, so when defending, James will pay special attention to Sun Zhuo's layup after the breakthrough.

The Magic team served from the outside, Sun Zhuo quickly broke through after receiving the ball, and for a while, the two Cavaliers players followed Sun Zhuo, and after Sun Zhuo broke through two steps, he threw the ball directly to Danny Granger at the top of the arc.

The moment the ball was passed, James and the others were completely stunned!

Sun Zhuo was willing to give up the last attack to others? Or a rookie rookie?

Danny Granger had just walked to this position and was unguarded, and Granger didn't hesitate and pulled up the shot......

"You have to get in!" In the fifth row of the auditorium, a black man dressed in cheap clothes screamed.

Swish!

Granger shoots the shot!

The game is over.

"Ahh I'm in, I'm in the lore! Danny Granger got excited, and the whole Magic team got excited.

Granger excitedly ran to Sun Zhuo to celebrate, seeing Granger have such a wonderful single performance, Sun Zhuo was also happy, he wanted to single-handedly train Granger and Ariza into superstars.

"Maybe one day you'll leave me." Sun Zhuo looked at Granger, Granger's face became a little stiff, and Sun Zhuo continued: "That's when you went to be the boss of another team. ”

"Boss!" When Granger heard this, he hugged Sun Zhuo excitedly.

"You should share this joy with your friends." Sun Zhuo reminded.

Granger nodded, excited, he really stepped into the audience with long legs, from time to time there were fans in the second and third rows patting him and extending their hands to congratulate him, Granger ignored it, and went directly to the fifth row, and hugged the friend deeply, the two hugged for about forty seconds, and when the bodies separated, the two tall men actually cried.

"Stinky boy, you really became a professional basketball player." The black-looking man was more than two meters tall when he stood up, and in front of Granger, it looked like his elders were educating him.

Granger said with a sad face, "If it hadn't happened...... You must be doing those things better than me now. ”

"In this world, there are no ifs." The man squeezed a smile on his face and hugged Granger tightly.
