Chapter 405: I'm Iverson!
Amway Arena, Orlando.
The magic fans at the scene have been uniformly dressed and quietly sitting in their seats, their faces are full of anticipation, there is an old man over half a hundred years old, from time to time to look at the crowd around him, looking at the excited look of these people around him, but he looks puzzled.
Time seems to have gone back 20 years all at once......
"George, you watch a playoff game between the Bulls and the Celtics, why are you so nervous? I know you're a die-hard Celtic fan, the Celtics are so strong, if it wasn't for Abdul-Jabbar guy last year, wouldn't the Celtics win another championship? Will the Celtics have an opponent this year? β
"Don't you know? In the last game, the Bulls' kid named Michael Jordan scored 63 points! How can you make me not nervous now? God knows what kind of madness he's going to play today! β
ββ¦β¦β
The old man clearly remembers that in the next game after Jordan faced the Celtics by 63 points in the playoffs, his Celtics fan friend was so nervous when he watched the game, even though the Celtics' overall strength was stronger than the Bulls.
Now it's the same situation, another No. 23 staged a great performance, James after the last battle, completely made his reputation, and also let the outside world put him and Sun Zhuo on the same level to compare, some people even think James is more comprehensive.
In this case, in the face of the upcoming second game, as a fan of Magic, why is there no fear of James? James has clearly shown his historical talent and ability!
"The reason is not with LeBron, and he will not be questioned in any way." The old man gradually sensed the reason, and from the different people around him, he began to call "Eric Sun".
"It's because of Sun, it's because there is a player in the Magic team, they believe that this game will not be slaughtered by LeBron again, and they believe that Sun will take revenge."
The old man also began to keep his eyes on the magic No. 1 on the field, Sun Zhuo did look very serious today, he warmed up before the game without saying a word or smiling, the old man was also very curious, how could Sun Zhuo make the fans trust him so much, obviously Sun Zhuo only brought a championship to the city.
β¦β¦
"Kobe, Sun's state in the past two days seems to be no different from the previous days, and I can't see that he is going to explode today." Wade and Kobe Bryant sat together, and only the two big men came to watch today, and Vanessa didn't show up, even though Kobe told her there was going to be a good show.
In the past few days, Wade and Kobe have been with Sun Zhuo and will see each other every day, and they really don't feel any difference in Sun Zhuo's emotions.
Kobe Bryant glanced at Sun Zhuo and said, "Who said that when you want to break out, you must show it emotionally?" This guy is the best at disguise. β
"That's just as well." Wade nodded, still thinking that Sun Zhuo would explode today.
However, everyone guessed wrong.
The game started quickly, Sun Zhuo entered the penalty area on the first ball, and thought that a domineering dunk would be staged, but it seems that the Cavaliers had a premonition of Sun Zhuo's onslaught, and Da Z also gave in a little, despite this, Sun Zhuo only made a quick layup and scored two points.
"James scored 61 points in the last game, look at how Sun Zhuo responded in this game, break through! Layups! Strike! β
"This is just the beginning, Sun Zhuo's score in the first quarter may exceed 20 points!"
The CCTV commentator was also excited and looking forward to the commentary.
Soon, James also returned one, and the perfect touch of the previous game looks like it will continue to this one.
Sun Zhuo still held the ball on his own for the second time, and after making a cover with teammate Howard at the top of the arc, he found a gap and immediately prepared to jump up and shoot a three-point shot.
"I'm going to vote!"
Sun Zhuo has always not let go of this kind of shooting opportunity, everyone thinks that Sun Zhuo will shoot by himself, but Sun Zhuo jumped up and suddenly passed to Howard who cut in, Howard After a dribble, he attacked the basket with both hands and caught the opponent off guard.
"Pass beautifully! Unexpectedly, Sun Zhuo didn't shoot. β
Seeing this ball, James on the court and Kobe Bryant and Wade off the court were stunned, they are all people who know Sun Zhuo, it stands to reason that even if Howard has a higher success rate in scoring under the basket, Sun Zhuo has already had a shooting opportunity, and he should not miss this opportunity to score.
"If he really wants to score 62 points, just this ball, he should have made a shot, there will be no hesitation." Kobe Bryant himself is a scorer, and he knows that a scorer can't think about passing the ball in that situation, unless, Sun Zhuo didn't want to define himself as a scorer tonight.
"Victory, I want victory." Sun Zhuo was unusually quiet.
Immediately afterward, James was once again as crazy and unreasonable as in the last game, and the shooting percentage was completely beyond his usual level, and there was no way, the Magic had to foul him.
After half a quarter, James had scored 13 points, while Sun Zhuocai only scored 6 points and only had two assists.
James noticed that Sun Zhuo didn't want to break his last stats tonight, which made him very strange, and couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you going to compare with me?" It's not like you. β
Sun Zhuo replied calmly: "I only care about victory, if you can average 50 points per game in this series, I will say to the media all over the world that I am not as good as you, your performance in the last game is not only your personal extreme, but also almost the ultimate of my current ability, even if I score one more point than you, it is meaningless." β
In the past two nights, James has been dreaming about how Sun Zhuo will bomb the basket today, he is fully prepared how to stop him, and steal another victory when he puts on a solo show, but he didn't expect Sun Zhuo to be ready to compare with James, which means that James's 61 points will be the highest score in the playoffs this season, and Sun Zhuo will allow others to steal his limelight?
Even Popovich saw Sun Zhuo's thoughts, and couldn't help but say to himself: "Sun's performance in the playoffs this year is a bit calm and terrifying, and he doesn't even compete with LeBron, he has always been very aimed at LeBron." β
Sun Zhuo's mature approach made Popovich have some ominous premonitions, and he thought that he could use this to consume Sun Zhuo or let Sun Zhuo show his unknown hole cards in advance.
Sun Zhuo has thought about responding to James in this game, on the one hand, he has responded too many times in the past, and he doesn't need to prove his strength through this, on the other hand, he has to think about the finals, how can the Cavaliers be easy to deal with, what about the Spurs? He can't be exposed and consumed too much before meeting the Spurs.
James didn't care about Sun Zhuo's approach, and still followed his own ideas, letting the world re-evaluate him and Sun Zhuo, but gradually, he found that his shooting was not so accurate, and only relying on breakthroughs to score points would also face various interferences such as walking, being broken, and being sandwiched, and it was impossible to score as smoothly as in the last game.
In the end, although James still scored 40 points, he wasted too many shots and many turnovers, and the Magic defeated the Cavaliers very easily, turning the series into a 1-1 tie.
β¦β¦
Wade lived in Sun Zhuo's house, and at night, Sun Zhuo and Wade sat together for a while before going to bed, Wade was very surprised by Sun Zhuo's performance today, although he really wanted to see Sun Zhuo and James no longer target each other, but he still couldn't help asking: "Brother, I really didn't expect you to behave so calmly today, I can't believe it, are you really willing to let LeBron score the highest score in the playoffs this season?" Today is the best time for you to score points, and if you miss today, even if you can brush up your points in the future, it is not as logical as today. β
Sun Zhuo nodded: "I know, I don't plan to challenge for 61 points in the next few games." β
"Why?" Wade asked curiously.
Sun Zhuo smiled and said, "61 points, this score is too high." β
Wade looked at Sun Zhuo even more curiously, this was not like what Sun Zhuo said.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Zhuo said: "LeBron was targeted by me too badly, I belittled him from the first season, so that the public lowered his evaluation of him, and now, he is really underestimated, his outburst in the last game is indeed amazing, he deserves this honor, if the highest score in this year's playoffs is him, I will not be unhappy." β
"Have you forgotten the last time they won and celebrated live? A lot of people say they're like they've won a championship on your home turf, and it's impossible not to be disgusted. Wade still wanted to know what Sun Zhuo really thought.
Regarding this matter, Sun Zhuo smiled indifferently: "Have you celebrated?" Maybe, who knows, some things, this second is true, the next second may not exist, the world is wonderful, maybe one day, I will no longer be Sun Zhuo, but James, I have to rest, you will go to Cleveland with us tomorrow, you will rest early. β
Sun Zhuo got up and walked to the bedroom, leaving Wade alone, Wade shook his head helplessly: "I've known Sun for so long, and I still can't understand his words, should I read some philosophy or science fiction books?" Why does it always feel like what he says is so ethereal? β
β¦β¦
The next day, Orlando was on a special plane for the Magic team in Cleveland.
"This time there was a Heat player mixed in, Sun, is he your family member? We didn't even let his family take him, but you brought him with you. Howard glanced at Wade and said with a smile that he was the only one here who wasn't a Magic player.
Coach Hill smiled, very indifferent, in his opinion, it is a good thing to attract a top star like Wade to the Magic team, at least the team owner would like to see such a thing, so that it will be much easier for the Magic to recruit Wade in the future.
In fact, Howard is also imagining whether Wade will join the Magic in the future, and he, Sun Zhuo and Wade will form the strongest trio in history at that time!
"By the time Dwyane Wade becomes a free agent, he should already be the No. 1 scoring guard in the NBA, and then the No. 1 SG in the league plus the No. 1 center in the league and the No. 1 SF in the league, haha, this picture is so beautiful, I don't dare to think about it!" Howard thought about it and felt unrealistic.
Sun Zhuo and Wade sat together, Wade was a little embarrassed to speak in this group of magic teams, Sun Zhuo was about to say something for him, but he heard a sudden voice from the system: "The Superstar Summit has joined Alan Iverson, welcome to challenge and win rewards!" β
"Iverson!" Sun Zhuo excitedly immediately patted Wade's thigh, and Howard couldn't help but laugh when he saw it, and teased: "Haha, I just said, D-ADE is your family, and we will treat it the same way." β
"What's wrong with you?" Wade was also taken aback when he was photographed.
"Oh, I thought I was shooting myself." Sun Zhuo laughed apologetically, and then asked Wade, "Do you have any Alan Iverson songs in your MP3?" β
Orlando flew to Cleveland for more than four hours, and the time of the journey was just enough to challenge Iverson's superstar pinnacle game, and before challenging Iverson's pinnacle game, Sun Zhuo wanted to listen to an Iverson song to refresh himself, that is, the song "LAST NIGHT", which is well-known by many fans, especially Chinese fans.
"Aaron Iverson? Did he have a record? Wade obviously didn't know anything about that.
Sun Zhuo sighed a little, it seems that Wade has never heard that song.
At this time, Howard, who has always loved rap songs, also turned around and asked, "I know AI likes rap, which one are you referring to?" β
"It's the very popular song "LAST NIGHT"." Sun Zhuo thought that Howard might have this song, and a smile appeared on his face again.
βγLAST NIGHTγοΌ Is it very popular? I've never heard of it, can you sing a couple of lines for me to listen to, I've heard a lot of songs. Howard was curious.
"Okay." Sun Zhuo is also a singer himself, so he doesn't have to be so restrained in front of his players, so he sang on the spot: "Yo, Yo, Hats Boorgy Ton...... everybody come onοΌe ill be the shaker hat a crazy starβ¦β¦β
Singing this, Howard suddenly realized: "Haha, I've heard this song, boss, this song is not Alan Iverson's, but a Norwegian group, called Jeelz." β
"Impossible." Sun Zhuo listened to this song for many years in his previous life, and felt that it was obviously Iverson's voice, and all the media and encyclopedia materials said that it was Iverson's song.
"I really don't lie to you." Howard used Google to search for Sun Zhuo and showed it to Sun Zhuo.
Sun Zhuo saw that the truth was indeed as Howard said, this was really not Iverson's song, and his heart instantly became infinitely sad, as if he would not love anymore, "This song is not AI?!" β
Sun Zhuo liked the song for so many years in his previous life, and he had long regarded this song as a part of Iverson, but in the end, he learned that all this was fake! This song has nothing to do with Iverson at all!
"Which bastard spread the rumor first, it's so hateful!" Sun Zhuo was very angry, and I believe that all Iverson fans who know the truth are the same, they have long given a lot of emotion to this song, and now people have to interrupt this emotion.
"Sun ...... I know you've been deceived, but you don't need to be so angry, do you? Howard asked.
Sun Zhuo was furious and directly started Iverson's first superstar game, which happened on April 12, 1997, which was Iverson's first game in the NBA.
"I'm sorry, Jeelz, the song "LAST NIGHT" is my Aran Iverson!"
