Orlando, when Monta Ellis was home at night, suddenly received a phone call.

"Hey, bro, how are you doing? I miss you so much! It's been a long time since we've been together! ”

Hearing this voice, Monta Ellis was stunned for a moment, why is this voice so similar to the voice of Artest of the Kings?

Ron...... Artest? Montaelis asked in a tone of uncertainty.

Artest laughed and said, "What's wrong with you?" Can't even recognize my voice? Remember last summer, when we were drinking at a nightclub? You're so drunk, I'm going to carry you back to your hotel room! ”

Montaelis then remembered that he and Artest were indeed in a nightclub at the time, but they didn't go together, they met by chance, and then they chatted briefly and exchanged contact information, but there was no contact since then, but Artest now acted as if the two were very good brothers.

Montaelis has a close relationship with Sun Zhuo, and already knows that Sun Zhuo and the team are pursuing Artest, so he quickly changed his cold attitude and said, "Brother, why don't I remember?" Thanks to you at the time, how are you? We're on different teams, so if we want to see each other, we have to look at the schedule. ”

Artest smiled: "Haha, it's not a big deal, it's the Internet era, we can communicate on the Internet at any time, don't talk to you more, remember to send me more text messages and emails!" ”

"Okay, bro, keep in touch." Montaelis already knew the purpose of Artest's call, and Artest was personally willing to come to Orlando, but he was unwilling to take the initiative to admit that he had come to defect to Sun Zhuo, but wanted to partner with his "good brother" Montaellis.

Hanging up the phone, Montaelis called Sun Zhuo and told Sun Zhuo about it.

Sun Zhuo understood Artest's attitude and immediately contacted the team and asked them to start working on the transaction.

……

The next day, the Miami Heat visited Orlando.

The 07-08 season was a failed season for the Heat, with a succession of injuries to players, and several veteran players on the team leaving, especially the big shark O'Neal, who would also be traded to the Phoenix Suns in the middle of the season, and they only had a 15-67 record in their previous life, ranking at the bottom of the league.

Since the beginning of the new season, O'Neal has greatly affected his performance due to a hip injury and pain in his left knee, and he is currently averaging only 14 points and 7 rebounds per game this season, which is far below his average, and his importance in the Heat's offense is not as important as before, he will not even be selected as an All-Star this season, and his record of 14 consecutive All-Star appearances will end this season.

In addition, O'Neal's conflict with Pat Riley is not a day or two, and he doesn't want to stay in the Heat, a team with no hope, and O'Neal's NBA time is running out, and he wants to go to a strong team, a team that can compete for championships.

And Sun Zhuo's magic team is one of O'Neal's willingness.

"Long time no see, brother, don't pretend to be injured, I'm here with D-ADE, you don't play, it's too bad to give us face." At the scene of the game, O'Neill greeted Sun Zhuo in advance in a suit.

Wade also said next to him: "I don't see you have anything to do, come to the game, you play center, play against Shaq, this must be very interesting." ”

"D-ADE, YOU'RE WRONG, WHAT'S THE POINT OF ME AND SUN'S ALIGNMENT? He will definitely be beaten by me, I am MDP, the most terrifying interior player in history, Sun is indeed a great outside player, but the center, he is far behind. Oh, I think I know why he didn't dare to play, he didn't dare to play against me, haha. O'Neill said half-jokingly.

Sun Zhuo also smiled and said to O'Neal: "The same thing, Kevin Garnett also told me, I replied with trash talk, but you are qualified to talk to me like this, I won't spray with you, haha." ”

Sun Zhuo also gives O'Neill a lot of face, although O'Neill is not good now, once Sun Zhuo plays, he has the power of SS, and he is not afraid of O'Neill at all, but O'Neill has indeed been brilliant in the past, and Sun Zhuo also believes that if Sun Zhuo is against O'Neill at the peak, it will be 100% completely exploded.

At this time, O'Neill smiled, and suddenly put his arm on Sun Zhuo's shoulder, and said, "I heard that you were just humiliated by the Celts?" You young recruits aren't any match for the old rascals, so how about I help you? ”

Sun Zhuo knew that O'Neal would be traded this season, and he also knew that he would not have any results if he went to the Suns, coupled with the relationship between the two before, Sun Zhuo also hoped that O'Neal could come to Magic, and they would work together to win another championship, O'Neal was also in the same mood, the two of them were the kings of the league!

Sun Zhuo first glanced at Dwyane Wade, Wade's expression was unpredictable, and before Sun Zhuo could speak, O'Neill said again: "I'm too strong, not suitable to partner with you, otherwise if I rob your FMVP, your fans will scold me." ”

Everyone laughed, and Wade said: "Shaq, you and Kobe are probably the only two players who have robbed Sun Zhuo of FMVP." ”

"That's not called robbery, D-ADE, in the first season, Sun was completely playing the role of soy sauce, and he was not able to compete with us at that time." O'Neill insisted.

In the short pre-game time, the three talked about a lot of past events, which also caused O'Neal and Sun Zhuo to sigh, the two did have a good time together during the Lakers, and if they have the opportunity, they really hope to reunite.

It's just that with O'Neal's current state, I'm afraid that even if he joins the magic, he won't be able to help Sun Zhuo much.

The game started soon, Sun Zhuo sat on the court and watched the game quietly, and the rookie Durant continued to lead the whole team on the court, after cutting 30+ in the last game, Durant's confidence increased a lot, and O'Neal was still not in shape as always, and there were almost no shots.

The situation on the court quickly turned into Durant VS Wade.

"Speaking of which, there is also a knot between Durant and Wade." Sun Zhuo suddenly remembered that the grievances between these two people were not about the previous life, but about this life.

Not only did Sun Zhuo have a story with Durant, but Wade was also among them, at that time, Sun Zhuo asked Wade to go to Washington to find Durant together, and the girl Durant liked, Christine Ledelow, Wade knew earlier than Durant, and Ledlow and Wade also had a close relationship.

"Dwyane Wade, this guy probably likes Christine too......" Durant knew that Wade and Ledlow were often in contact, and he was also jealous when he saw Wade.

From Durant's sharp eyes, Wade sensed Durant's hostility, but just smiled coldly, not taking Durant in his eyes at all.

Until Durant did a European step dunk that Wade often does.

Durant is a slender man, and he does this very beautifully, he drives through with the ball on his own, and after coming to the basket, a European step shakes off the defender, and then gets a dunk in the gap.

After the dunk, Durant yelled excitedly, by this time he had already scored 15 points, and Wade had not yet started to perform, only scoring 9 points.

"This rookie really thinks of himself as the boss of the magic team." Wade began to be serious about Durant, Durant was deliberately provoking Wade, and Wade had no reason not to respond.

Wade in '07 is at the peak.

Wade held the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left wing, and the change of defense was just changed to Durant, Wade quickly and resolutely broke through to Durant, Durant is also very confident that he can prevent Wade, after all, he has a great advantage in height, seeing Wade forcibly break through and want to dunk inside, Durant also quickly jumped up and raised his arm to block.

Bang!

Wade split the dunk with one hand and dunked successfully under Durant's block!

"Damn it!" Durant has done his best, but with Wade, there is nothing he can do.

"Hehe, if it were ten years later, Durant would definitely be able to beat Wade, but in this year, Wade would have beaten Durant too easily." Sun Zhuo also chuckled off the court, Durant is very immature, but very stubborn, this scene is full of gunpowder with Wade.

Durant wanted to give Wade back, but as soon as he held the ball, he was stolen by Wade, and Wade staged another dragon dunk!

"Oops, Durant Wade up, and it looks like today's game is going to be Wade's solo exhibition game." Sun Zhuo secretly felt bad.

Although the Heat this season is very bad, in the case of the Magic without Sun Zhuo, one Wade is enough to bring the Magic down.

Wade is really in good shape this game, the Magic has no Howard, and there is no Sun Zhuo in this game, it is simply too comfortable for him, no one can stop him at all, and no one can score with him, when Wade scored the 40th point, Durant has not broken through 30 points, the status of the two in the team is the same, they both have unlimited firing rights, the number of shots is about the same, and Durant has made too many mistakes.

In the end, Wade slashed 45 points and abused Durant, who scored 33 points and 7 turnovers in the game, although he scored more than 30 points in two consecutive games, he can still see the gap between him and the real star player.

After the game, Wade took the initiative to find Durant, who had fought against him for a whole game, and he actually had an appreciation for Durant, "Boy, if you want to win me, you have to learn from Sun." ”

Wade was kind of friendly, but Durant replied seriously: "I'm not going to lose to you every time." ”

Wade laughed when he heard this: "I didn't say that I will win you every time." ”

"What's wrong? You two seem to be very speculative. The game was over, and Sun Zhuo also walked up to the court and stood between the two.

Wade saw Sun Zhuo and said with a smile: "Your new teammate is very interesting, but it's too tender, to be honest, it seems a little difficult for the two of you to pass the Celtic level." ”

"The game won't just depend on the two of us, each of us will grow, man, you still have to worry about your Heat, you're still at the top, if you can't make the playoffs, it's a pity." Sun Zhuo said.

Wade didn't say anything more, shook hands with Sun Zhuo and said goodbye, and then, when he saw Sun Zhuo and O'Neal saying goodbye intimately, he also took the initiative to reach out to Durant.

Wade himself is also speculating whether O'Neal has the possibility of going to the Magic, but once O'Neal is traded to the Magic, what will the Magic get in exchange? Ordinary players, Pat Riley will not agree, unless it is Kevin Durant.

Wade felt that maybe he and Durant would become teammates.

"Not only Sun can teach you, but I can also help you grow." Wade said to Durant quite meaningfully.

Durant saw Sun Zhuo and O'Neal whispering, and realized something, and was secretly shocked: "Won't it?" I just became my younger brother from Sun, and I'm going to assist Dwyanwade again? These two are all my nasty guys! ”

In fact, they were all overthinking, and the Magic didn't have a formal idea of O'Neill yet, and they were currently in talks with the King, and the results would soon be available.

The Magic sent Danny Granger and Paul Millsap in exchange for All-Star Ron Artest from the Kings!

As soon as the news came out, it attracted the attention of the whole alliance, and various voices of discussion were also set off on the Internet.

"Artest is going to partner with Sun Zhuo? Hahaha, didn't these two people fight as soon as they met? From the NBA to E, and then to a team, don't you have to fight every day? ”

"If Artest and Sun Zhuo are unanimous to the outside world, then the magic will be really powerful, the two of them are the two best fighters in the NBA, no one will dare to provoke the magic in the future, the Celtics guys, it is estimated that in the face of the combination of Sun Zhuo and Artest, they will not dare to be rampant!"

"I'm the only one who worries about whether Durant is going to play off the bench again?"

For this trade, the Celtics, the Cavaliers, including the Spurs and Mavericks in the West, are also in the eyes of the Celtics, Artest is indeed an enhancement for the Magic, especially in defense, but Artest still cannot replace Howard's role, in their opinion, even if the Magic have Artest, it is still not a team that can compete for the championship.

On the day of the trade, Sun Zhuo specially met with Danny Granger and Paul Millsap alone, both of whom were selected by Sun Zhuo, but now, it is also Sun Zhuo's idea to get Artest, and the player is destined to leave.

Sun Zhuo could see that the two of them were a little unhappy, after all, they had won the championship together, even if they couldn't compete for the championship this season, they were willing to stay by Sun Zhuo's side to play.

Sun Zhuo said: "I'm sorry, Danny, Paul, it's a pity that we can't play together anymore, you are selected by me, I have watched you grow, you are all a team that can be leaders, and it is impossible to play under me forever, now it's time to go to other teams to prove your strength." ”

Danny Granger has a deep relationship with Sun Zhuo, and has always been grateful for Sun Zhuo's care, saying: "Boss, thank you for taking care of me in the past two years, without you, no one will notice me." ”

Paul Millsap also said: "You have given me a lot of confidence, thank you. ”

Sun Zhuo looked at the two of them with a smile, put his two hands on their shoulders, and said, "Be sure to make a name for yourself, I'm waiting for you to compete with me for the championship!" ”
