Because Curry's current strength and status are very different from Sun Zhuo's, Sun Zhuo himself has no need to go toe-to-toe with Curry, who has not yet become famous, so Sun Zhuo walked to Artest and said to him: "It has always been our tradition to educate newcomers, and the No. 30 rookie on the other side can be properly targeted, but don't bully him with your body." ”

Artest still remembers the three childish celebrations that Sun Zhuo taught him, and it seems that Sun Zhuo wanted Artest to use them when he was a rookie to Curry.

Artest glanced at the thin Stephen Curry, with a look of disdain on his face, and he looked down on the opponent he was about to target.

"I'd better treat it like air, anyway, even if I provoked him, he wouldn't dare to have any response." Artest is very relaxed.

Next, he specially sought a one-on-one opportunity with Stephen Curry, and Sun Zhuo also secretly helped.

Artest faced Curry outside the three-point line, Curry thought that Artest would use his body to force 100%, but he didn't expect Artest to shoot directly with three points!

"What?" Curry was slightly surprised, turned his head to look at the basket, Artest also had a three-point shot, and without interference, this ball hit steadily.

After hitting the ball, Artest turned around and performed the classic high leg raise from Curry in his previous life.

This is a funny and provocative action, and the on-site reaction is laughing and displeased, and Curry is very upset when he sees it: "This guy ...... Throwing a three-pointer, as for doing such an exaggerated move? It's ugly to lift your legs so high! ”

"Well done, cool action!" Sun Zhuo stepped forward to high-five Artest.

"Of course." Artest also stretched out his hand to high-five Sun Zhuo, this moment is not as naïve as imagined, maybe he is a tough and domineering person, and any action will show this.

In the audience on the sidelines, Curry's father Dale Curry and his glamorous wife Sonya were also quite unhappy when they saw it.

Sonya was very unhappy and said: "That Ron Artest is so disrespectful to do this, Stephen must feel devastated now." ”

Dell Curry didn't speak, because he knew that Artest was a player, and Artest would do such a thing.

However, this is just the beginning for the rookie library.

In the next quarter, the pace of the game is getting faster and faster, both sides are playing at a high speed, if one side misses, the opponent will immediately launch a fast attack, even if the opponent scores, the other side will quickly serve and start attacking, to get back the lost points.

It was at such a moment that Sun Zhuo shot at the three-point line at the top of the arc again!

"Grab the rebound!" Warriors coach Don Nelson felt that Sun Zhuo was in a hurry and should not have scored.

Under the basket, the Warriors players gathered, and the Magic players were only Artest, and even so, he alone could overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum.

Swish!

Basketball goes into the net crisply.

"Counterattack counterattack, attack quickly!" Don Nelson didn't say much when he saw the ball go in, and immediately urged the player to serve and counterattack quickly.

The Warriors have long developed a very good habit of seeing the opponent shoot a goal, not to be surprised or amazed by the goal in any situation, not to delay a second, all emotions are suspended at this moment, that is, to quickly serve and get back.

Immediately after the ball was scored, the Warriors sent a throw-in and the ball passed to Curry.

At this point, no Warriors would have thought that Artest would make a celebration for Sun Zhuo's goal, with Artest with his back to the basket

, squatted suddenly, pouted the PG, as if putting a P.

It just so happened that at this time, Stephen Curry had just received the serve from his teammates and was about to quickly take the ball across the half court, but he just turned around and didn't see what Artest was doing at all.

"Hahahaha." Sun Zhuo couldn't help but laugh when he saw it, he originally just wanted Artest to make this action provocative, why did he lure Curry to it?

"Damn, what the hell are you doing!" After Stephen Curry fell, he was furious.

Artest also wondered, why did this provocative action still have such an effect? It's like sucking Curry with the ball.

Off the court, Curry's mother Sonya was already angry: "Did Ron Artest deliberately target Stephen?" What does it mean when he suddenly squats on Stephen's way to go? ”

Dell Curry was a little more sensible: "This time, Stephen only cared about catching the ball quickly and attacking, and he didn't notice Ron Artest, Artest may not have deliberately targeted our children, Stephen is just a first-year rookie, and Ron Artest has no reason to do this." ”

Artest and Curry have completely different styles, and generally such players are not likely to look unpleasant at the first time, however, what happened next surprised Dell Curry.

Artest was once again misplaced in the face of Curry's defense, and while holding the ball, he began to shake his head!

"This guy is so arrogant! I started to shake my head! ”

"Celebrating before the offense is played? He's too confident, right? ”

Artest's actions caused dissatisfaction at the scene, and Stephen Curry felt that he was seriously provoked.

"He clearly looks down on me!"

Curry couldn't be angry, he didn't like to see Artest do this shaking his head, and quickly stepped forward to reach out and steal, this ball, he was going to foul, he knew that he couldn't prevent Artest, but even if he fouled, he had to stop the other party from continuing to insult himself.

But who knows, as soon as Curry's hand reached over, Artest suddenly threw the ball to the basket.

Sun Zhuo has already flown up, received a high-altitude pass, and caught the flying buckle with one hand!

Don Nelson was also stunned, "Is this a flow M combination or a trick combination?" One is responsible for playing treasure to attract attention, and the other is sneaking up on the air, and the two of them really have a set. ”

Artest's shaking of his head attracted everyone's attention, and everyone focused on him, thinking that Artest would beat Curry one-on-one, and no one expected Artest to do this, just to create an opportunity for Sun Zhuo.

"And you said that guy wasn't targeting Stephen! This is already the third time! What kind of enmity does he have against Stephen! Sonya was furious.

Dell Curry was also angry: "Ron Artest, as the league's best defensive player, has been in the NBA for so many years, and it is really disappointing to make such a move to a rookie who has just entered the league!" ”

"It's just hateful! In contrast, Sun Youyou is much more! Sonya said angrily.

To repay the other way, Sun Zhuo has always liked to do this, using Artest, using Curry's provocative actions on Curry, looking at Curry's aggrieved expression at the moment, Sun Zhuo has a sense of pleasure that the conspiracy succeeded.

"I don't know if Curry will use these three actions after being used by Artest, or whether Curry will use them in the future." Sun Zhuo guessed that today's game may affect Curry's celebration in the future, and for these three actions that originally belonged to Curry, Curry should have been disgusted now.

It wouldn't be a bad thing if the celebratory actions of the Kuritian period changed in this life, anyway, these three actions were not good in the first place, and they were criticized, and superstars should not use such actions.

At this point, Curry was already fully stimulated.

"I've been involved in basketball since I was a kid, I grew up with my father on an NBA team, I'm not a bully underdog, I'm an NBA player now, and I deserve my identity!"

Thinking of his father's teaching since childhood, thinking of the sweat and time he has spent in basketball over the past few years, Curry is not convinced and unwilling, Artest in front of him may play longer than Curry, but the time spent on shooting may not be as much as Curry!

Next, Curry even took the initiative to find Artest to go head-on!

Curry played Artest one-on-one, and he didn't mean to pass the ball at all, looking at Curry's dribbling posture, Sun Zhuo saw him ten years later.

"Curry was stimulated, good, let me see how far you can go in '07." Sun Zhuo was looking forward to it.

Curry to Artest, quickly a change of direction to the left.

"Naïve guy." Artest is also very serious about defense, he knows that this rookie is angry, but don't forget, he is the best defensive player in the league, how can he be easily eliminated by Curry?

However, Curry's offense is not so simple, after a change of direction to the left, he suddenly turned to the right to break through, and when Artest turned to defend, Curry took a step back and shot three points!

"Let him see your strength!" Dell Curry was thrilled off the court, and only he knew how much his son had done for basketball.

Generally speaking, sons will be taller and stronger than fathers, but this is not the case in Curry's family, Stephen Curry's figure is even worse than Dell Curry, which makes him a father who loves his son even more, however, he also knows that the NBA is not a church, no one will pity you, this is only suitable for showing strength!

Swish!

Basketball hollow into the net!

Stephen Curry's defense against Artest, shooting a three-pointer!

“YES！” After Curry scored, he clenched his fists excitedly, and the scene also cheered, Curry's response ball was very relieved.

This time the goal gave Curry confidence, and then, Curry was like opening up the second vein of Rendu, breaking through the ball, pulling the rod to make a layup, holding the ball to chase three points, receiving the ball for three points, one after another, not at all like the performance of a rookie!

"Hell, we seem to have forced that guy out of the best performance in the NBA." Artest walked up to Sun Zhuo with some depression.

Sun Zhuo didn't care, he wasn't afraid of Curry's good performance, he was only worried that Curry's performance was not good enough to be Sun Zhuo's opponent.

Curry's performance finally made Sun Zhuo feel a little motivated and began to continue shooting three-point shots.

Sun Zhuo's dedication to the three-point shot today also surprised Curry: "This is the seventh three-pointer Sun has scored, right?" Why is he so keen on three-point shooting? His other abilities are obviously very strong. ”

"In the future, the league will enter the era of three-point shooting." Sun Zhuo saw Curry's doubts about his style of play, played the whole game, and in the last quarter of the game, Sun Zhuo couldn't help but take the initiative to say something to Curry.

Curry was stunned for a moment, perhaps because he didn't expect Sun Zhuo to suddenly tell him this.

In fact, in today's first showdown with Curry, Sun Zhuo wanted to bully Curry like he bullied James before, but now Curry can't stimulate Sun Zhuo at all, and he can't become Sun Zhuo's evenly matched opponent at all, so it's no fun to bully.

"Do you want to be my opponent?" Sun Zhuo asked Curry.

"Of course." Curry looked stubborn.

Sun Zhuo smiled and said: "After the game, go and watch the video of this game, when will you be able to hit a three-pointer like today, when will you be qualified to be my opponent, when you are qualified to be my opponent, you are already a top three player in the league." ”

When Curry heard this, his mood was agitated, the top three in the league? What a seductive word, can Curry really reach such heights? He didn't dare to think about it himself.

After speaking, Sun Zhuo threw in the eighth three-pointer in a single game, which was actually the way that Stephen Curry was good at using.

The Warriors are also a three-point team, and this game completely turned into a three-point battle, and in the end, it was the Magic who won this game.

After the game, Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry shook hands on the court and said goodbye, and Kevin Durant, who was in the same class as Curry, also deepened his impression of Curry after this game.

This game was extraordinary for Stephen Curry, not only was it Curry's best performance since entering the NBA, but it was also the one he was provoked and stimulated the most, he experienced being targeted for the first time, and he was a tough character like Artest that even superstars fear.

This will not defeat Curry, it will only make Curry stronger, and with Sun Zhuo's encouragement, he already knows where his future path is.

……

After the victory over the Golden State Warriors, Sun Zhuo and Artest cooperated more closely, and everywhere they went, all opponents were terrified, and with their toughness, the Magic won game after game and started a winning streak.

It was soon the end of December, and the Magic, who were also in the East, once again met the Boston Celtics, who are currently the strongest team in the East.

Last time, the Magic hosted the Celtics and suffered a heavy defeat.

That was without Artest, though.

"Guys, we're finally going to Boston to challenge those guys! Any idea why I'm here? Yes, I'm here to help you defeat them! I can't wait to play, trust me, we're going to beat them up! ”

Before leaving for Boston, Ron Artest kept telling his teammates that he would help the team win against the Celtics and that the Celtics didn't need to be intimidated.

In the same way, the Celtics have long been looking forward to the arrival of the magic "flow M combination".
