"What should I do, I can't lie all the way to win the championship, I'm an All-Star MVP!"

In three consecutive games in the playoffs, Sun Zhuo either won or lost, which did not play any role in the outcome of the game, which made him feel a little sorry for his performance as an All-Star MVP.

Since Sun Zhuo can't play a key role in the Lakers, this series should be the same as in his previous life, 4:1 ended early, which makes Sun Zhuo even more anxious, if he can't play the Rockets well, it will be even more impossible to play the Spurs, and he can only lie down when the time comes.

Therefore, in the fourth game between the two sides, Sun Zhuo was determined to score a double, which was the minimum goal.

After the Lakers were pulled back by the Rockets, they didn't want the Rockets to equalize the total score, this game was also extremely ferocious, O'Neal once again showed his great power on the inside, the Rockets had to bet on the other Lakers players, forcing O'Neal to pass the ball, Sun Zhuo also got some shooting opportunities, he followed Phil Jackson's explanation, after receiving the ball without hesitation or superfluous action, he shot directly, but I didn't expect the effect to be really good, in the first half alone, Sun Zhuo threw in two three-pointers, a bottom corner three-pointer, A three-point shot at a 45-degree angle on the right side, plus a free throw shot, scored seven points at halftime, and it seems that Sun Zhuo can finally complete the simple task of breaking 10 points in a single game.

Artest said that Sun Zhuo couldn't score 10 points per game in the playoffs, Sun Zhuo was holding his stomach and ready to prove himself, because he was only one three-pointer away from 10 points, in the second half, Sun Zhuo was a little impatient, and he didn't wait for his teammates to pass the ball, and he got the ball, so he shot out confidently.

Gary Payton said to Sun Zhuo: "Don't force your throw, wait for me to pass it to you." ”

Sun Zhuo nodded, and felt a little guilty for not throwing it in, in fact, the timing of Sun Zhuo's shot was good, the defender was two steps away from Sun Zhuo, and the Lakers were still ahead of the score.

Who knows, it's so magical, Sun Zhuo missed the shot with the ball, and immediately, Payton passed to Sun Zhuo, Sun Zhuo immediately shot after receiving the ball, and the three-point shot was scored!

In this game, the Lakers are determined to win and must get the match point, Gary Payton also smiled confidently at Sun Zhuo: "See, I said, you can't score by yourself, you have to pass it to you before you can enter." ”

Sun Zhuo was also delighted: "Okay, thank you for letting me score a double in the playoffs." ”

Sun Zhuo, who scored 48 points in the regular season, felt that it was so difficult to score 10 points in a single game for the first time.

At this time, Phil Jackson, who was off the field, also had a smile on his face, and said secretly in his heart: "He is more and more in line with the role I set for him, and he adapts so quickly." ”

If Sun Zhuo can continue to have this kind of performance, with this kind of three-point shooting rate, then the overall strength of the Lakers will become stronger, with O'Neal on the inside, Karl Malone is the threat of the mid-range, Kobe can solve the opponent in any position and in any way in a one-on-one situation, if Sun Zhuo has a three-point threat, then the Lakers' offense will really make the opponent lose the other.

The fourth game between the Lakers and the Rockets ended with the Lakers winning and getting the match point, Sun Zhuo scored 12 points, although he broke 10 points in a single game, but the average points per game in the playoffs were still in single digits.

In the fifth game between the two sides, it is still at the home court of the Rockets, because it is still a 232 format, and this setting also makes it difficult for the Lakers to solve the battle in five games.

The Rockets have fallen behind 1:3, this game is a battle of life and death for them, and today is at home again, they are bound to show their strongest state and strength.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the game, Francis and Jim Jackson kept hitting shots, Yao Ming shot very little, but the shooting rate was very high, at the same time, the Rockets defended O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, the two key points, very well, it can be said that it is the best defense in this series, and Van Gundy also knows that if he lets go of the OK combination, this series will be completely over.

Of course, the Rockets are also mentally prepared for the rest of the Lakers' players to play, and as Van Gundy predicted, Karl Malone scored well today, he got a lot of shots, and he shot a respectable percentage from the field.

However, being tightly bitten by Karl Malone, Van Gundy was not worried at all.

"Karl Malone can't shoot three-pointers, he can't control the game." Van Gundy knew in his heart that the Lakers could not defeat the Rockets with Malone's mid-range shooting alone, as long as the scores between the two sides could be maintained until the end, the Rockets would have a chance.

However, at this very point, there was a point that made Van Gundy unworthy for an entire series, and there was a performance that exceeded his expectations.

The Lakers' offense has always been O'Neal in place, the ball carrier and the triangle with it, the ball carrier hands the ball into O'Neal's hands, teammates disperse the run to make room for O'Neal, O'Neal is trapped, O'Neal splits the ball out to find a second offensive option, this routine, O'Neal is also a little annoyed, but there is no way, his strength is too strong, the opponent has to suppress him like this, so that he can not play.

O'Neal wanted to get rid of the Rockets as soon as possible, because he felt that the Rockets were not qualified to be the roadblock for their championship, but Karl Malone's mid-range shot seemed to be difficult to get rid of the Rockets, so O'Neal gradually distributed the ball directly to Sun Zhuo outside the three-point line.

From a personal point of view, O'Neal also especially hopes that Sun Zhuo can also play at an All-Star level in the playoffs, which will also help him stay.

As a result, Sun Zhuo received the ball in the bottom corner of the right side twice in a row and shot three points, both of which were the first shots and all hits!

Two three-pointers in a row made the Rockets feel the wind and immediately called a timeout.

However, during the timeout, Van Gundy said to the Rockets: "Don't be scared by Sun's three-point shot, we still do it according to the previous defense, as long as Shaq and Kobe Bryant don't score, we can win, Karl Malone's physical fitness is also problematic, his mid-range shot will not be too stable, Sun can't always hit this kind of three-point shot, this game, we must drag on!" ”

Sun Zhuo didn't think too much about it at the moment, returned to the court, continued to run as before, and honestly played the role of assisting O'Neal and Kobe, waiting for them to give the ball.

Thanks to Van Gundy, Sun Zhuo continued to get the pass as before, and he also seemed to find some kind of scoring rhythm, and immediately shot after receiving the ball, and even hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner again!

"Goo ......" Seeing Sun Zhuo hit three points again, Van Gundy swallowed his saliva with an embarrassed face, he was extremely nervous, but extremely confused, it shouldn't be, Sun Zhuo's three points can't be so accurate.

didn't wait for Van Gundy to speak, seeing Sun Zhuo hit three points again and again, the rocket player consciously pounced after he got the ball next time, and Sun Zhuo obviously won't do the same thing every time, this time, pretending to shoot, but it was to attract defenders, jump up and pass, the ball went to Kobe's hand, Kobe Bryant saw that O'Neal was in a good position on the inside, and there was only one person around him, and threw it directly to the basket, O'Neal jumped up and caught the dunk!

There is not much time left, the Lakers played such a wave of offensive climax, and the Rockets will not be able to reverse nine times out of ten when they are already 1:3 behind.

Sun Zhuo was excited at the moment: "I brought this wave of rhythm, and I finally didn't win this game!" ”

However, he didn't even understand why he was able to bring this rhythm to himself.
