Chapter 281: Let's Fight!
In two consecutive 50+ performances, Sun Zhuo's average score per game has risen to 32.5 points, and since Kobe Bryant has not yet started scoring wildly, Sun Zhuo and James are tied for the first place in the scoring list.
After Sun Zhuo's crazy performances, everyone can clearly feel that Sun Zhuo wants to prove his determination this season, this will be a season for Sun Zhuo, since this season is so important to Sun Zhuo, then Sun Zhuo must avoid anything that will cause him to miss the game, such as injury, such as ...... Suspended.
"I didn't expect to fight again, this guy is now a magic player." Coming to the Amway Arena in Orlando, Artest looked at Sun Zhuo in a magic jersey and felt very uncomfortable.
Speaking of which, Artest hasn't fought with Sun Zhuo for a long time, the last time they fought was the 03-04 season, Sun Zhuo's rookie season, in the rookie season, the two had a physical conflict, Artest had a malicious foul on Sun Zhuo, and Sun Zhuo was angry and directly pushed Artest to the ground, but after that, the two did not break out into a more fierce conflict, compared to the Auburn Hills palace incident last season, they were not considered a fight.
Last season, Sun Zhuo and Artest failed to play each other, because Artest had a fight with Ben Wallace at the beginning of last season, and finally beat the fans, and was banned for a whole season.
In fact, Artest wanted revenge last season.
Before the game, players from both sides were shooting to warm up, and the fans at the scene felt a very special atmosphere for both teams.
"Will Sun and Ron Artest fight again? These two people are not allowed to be provoked. ”
"Probably not, right? The last time they clashed, Sun was still an unknown rookie, and Ron Artest had not experienced the punishment of the Auburn Hills Palace incident, and now Sun is already a top superstar in the league, and he will no longer care about Ron Artest, Ron Artest was banned for a whole season last season, and this season should also learn to be obedient and dare not mess around again. ”
"I've only heard that the stadium has increased security personnel today, and if Ron Artest still wants to play the fans, I'm afraid he won't be able to enter the audience."
"Be careful, man, Ron Artest is going crazy, and a few people may not be able to stop him!"
On the Magic half-time side, even Dwight Howard was thinking about it.
"Will Sun fight Ron Artest today? What should I do if the two of them do fight, and it's out of control? Are you going to go up and help him? We've just become teammates, so if I don't help, it shouldn't be a problem, right? ”
Howard and Sun Zhuo have been teammates for a short time, and they have not yet established any friendship, on the contrary, the feeling of being ridden by Sun Zhuo has lasted for a long time, so if Sun Zhuo really fights with Artest, Howard is psychologically unwilling to help, but his teammates are in trouble, and if Howard sits idly by, he will definitely be sprayed, besides, Howard is the tallest and strongest one in the team, others can stand by and watch, Howard can't do this.
At this point, Howard kind of wished he was a bench player or didn't have such a tall stature.
Sun Zhuo's heart was also a little apprehensive, because he didn't know what Artest was thinking.
"I'm in the prime of my game for the scoring title and even the regular season MVP, and every game this season is crucial to me, and I can't get banned for fighting, and then the scoring title and the regular season MVP will be lost. Artest was banned for an entire season last season, so he should be honest this season, right? However, even if he really wants to find trouble, I'm not afraid of him, I'm just going to waste a match repeat challenge card. ”
Sun Zhuo is not afraid of a happy fight with Artest, because he has a repeat challenge card for the game, and after the game, he doesn't have to worry about being banned, just do it again, but if he does it again, he still has to face the possibility of conflict with Artest, which is a headache for Sun Zhuo.
Speaking of which, this should be Artest's last month with the Pacers, and next month, Artest will publicly ask for a transfer, because Artest feels that he has fewer shooting opportunities in the team, and believes that his talent has not been released to the maximum, after which Artest will be traded to the Kings.
The game started quickly, everyone played very carefully, no one dared to have particularly fierce movements, like Howard, Stephen Jackson, these people are like this, they all know that today's protagonists are Artest and Sun Zhuo, they don't want to steal the limelight, see how they define this game, they don't want to follow blindly.
In the first five minutes of the game, to everyone's surprise, the game was played extremely cleanly, neither in action nor language, there was no small action on either side, and there was not a single trash talk.
"What should I do with a headache? Do you want revenge? "It turns out that Artest is still struggling at this time.
Although he decided to fight with Sun Zhuo as early as on the plane, Artest had just been banned for a season after all, and now after Sun Zhuo's NBDL incident, he returned to the NBA, and was regarded as a treasure by the league. It's good to have a chance to play.
At this time, Artest suddenly heard the voice of a child on the sidelines.
"Is he the one who kissed the donkey's ass?"
Artest's face immediately changed.
"It's okay to suffer a little loss in the first season, but last season, he asked me to kiss the donkey's ass in public, and the donkey was still TM I worked hard to get it, and before I kissed, the broken donkey was still ...... I have so much hatred with him, if I'm kind to him this time, will I still be called Ron Artest? In the future, there will be in the alliance who is still afraid of me! ”
Artest decided not to hesitate anymore, and if he is banned again, he will be banned again, it's a big deal to pay attention to a little measure, don't shoot so hard, in addition, the fans must not be able to play anymore, as long as the ban is not for a long time, Artest is still acceptable.
At this time, Sun Zhuo also began to enter the scoring mode, facing Artest, as soon as Sun Zhuo broke through with speed, Artest couldn't keep up with Sun Zhuo, and immediately reached out and hit Sun Zhuo's arm, and even the ball was knocked out.
"It's going to start, it's going to start!"
The atmosphere immediately changed, the previous game was too calm, and now it is what everyone expected the game to look like.
The referee blew Artest for a foul, and Artest obediently raised his hand with a calm face.
"He should still have some concerns, otherwise, after knocking out this ball, according to his old habits, he will spray a few trash words with me." Sun Zhuo saw Artest's intentions tonight, so he kept harassing Sun Zhuo, making Sun Zhuo angry first, and it was best to let Sun Zhuo strike first.
Sure enough, not long after, when Sun Zhuo made a layup, Artest once again blocked the ball with his hand, which was both provocative and not too heavy.
"I'll try to get you to do it first before six fouls." Artest smirked.
However, Artest didn't know that in the NBA, Sun Zhuo could not be the first to do it, for a simple reason: he couldn't beat ......
Sun Zhuo's current strength value is not particularly strong, only the level of A, Artest is at least S+, so there is still a certain gap with Artest, if you want to defeat Artest in the fight, you can only trigger "passive".
The game is designed so that when a player is provoked by a serious malicious foul, the power value will increase to the maximum set by the game, and at that time, Sun Zhuo will be able to beat Artest.
Therefore, it is impossible for Artest to let Sun Zhuo make a big move first.
However, Artest has always been like this, which makes Sun Zhuo very uncomfortable, he can see that Artest wants to fight with him, but he has concerns in his heart, so Sun Zhuo thought of a way.
During the break in the game, Sun Zhuo took the initiative to say to Artest: "Hey, I know you're still jealous of kissing my ass, and I know you want to fight with me." ”
Artest had a disdainful smile on his face, and said in his heart that this is not nonsense, he wanted to hit you in his dreams, but he didn't reply.
"But it's not worth it to be banned for so long just to get revenge, right?"
Hearing this, Artest suddenly put away his disdainful smile, and Sun Zhuo did speak to his heart.
Sun Zhuo whispered: "I have a way for you to vent to me happily without being banned." ”
"What's the solution?" Artest's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Here comes the ball."
The game continued, and Sun Zhuo suddenly ran away.
Artest was impatient, even if the game was in progress, he still wanted to talk to Sun Zhuo, and the fans at the scene felt very strange when they saw this scene.
Ron Artest kept chasing Sun, as if he was saying something, and judging by the tone of his speech, it didn't seem like he was spewing trash talk, but more like he was begging Sun for something...... It's so strange, how the hell did Sun subdue him? ”
The rest of the team didn't know what was going on.
Sun Zhuo likes to see Artest's anxious look, and deliberately does not say when the game is in progress, and when someone fouls and wants to make a free throw, Sun Zhuo speaks again: "You are an old man in the NBA, and the punishment rules of the NBA are very clear, if we fight on the court today, we will definitely be banned for many games, you don't want to do this, right?" What if we just nudged the other person? ”
"Push?"
"That's right, maliciously foul the other party, and then the one who was fouled, retaliate by pushing, just push, neither side should have follow-up actions, and don't scold each other again, so that we will not be sent off."
After hearing this, Artest felt that this proposal was feasible, and after being fouled, he pushed his opponent in an emotional manner, which was normal behavior, and could not be regarded as a serious foul action.
The last time Sun Zhuo pushed Artest to be banned, it was because Sun Zhuo fell to the ground after being fouled by Artest, and his teammates had surrounded Sun Zhuo for the first time.
"Hmph, I'm going to overthrow you, you hateful creature!" Artest is very confident in his own strength, and he feels that Sun Zhuo's proposal is very good, which can not only allow Artest to vent his resentment, regain his face, and take revenge on Sun Zhuo, but also save himself from being banned.
"If you agree, then we can start now, but I want to remind you that after being pushed down by me, you don't want to be so angry that you want to throw a fist at me, we don't have to follow up, and even show a little generosity, so that the referee will not punish us for our actions, and we can continue to happily retaliate against each other." Sun Zhuo reminded.
Artest smiled evilly: "You are the one who should worry about this problem, after you are pushed down by me, don't be angry and shake your fist, I will not show mercy." ”
Regarding this, Sun Zhuo was really a little worried, afraid that Artest would attack too hard, but it was impossible for him to push people better than Sun Zhuo.
After the two happily reached an agreement, Artest did not waste time, and when Sun Zhuo attacked again the next time, he directly committed a malicious foul and pulled Sun Zhuo down from the air.
Tick tick.
The referee immediately blew the whistle, and the scene was also a little panicked, this time Artest's foul action was a bit big, I don't know if Sun Zhuo will be angry?
Due to Artest's malicious foul, Sun Zhuo immediately triggered the passive effect, and his strength increased!
"Goo......" Artest knew what Sun Zhuo was going to do, and suddenly became a little nervous.
Bang!
Sun Zhuo immediately made a move and pushed Artest directly onto the column at the base of the basketball hoop.
"Ah......" Artest's back hit the pillar, and he immediately felt a pain, Sun Zhuo's strength was too heavy, and he was now sure that it was not an accident that Sun Zhuo was overthrown to the ground a year ago.
"This guy is so powerful! It hurts me! Artest gritted his teeth with hatred, and really wanted to step forward and beat Sun Zhuo at this moment, but according to the agreement, Artest couldn't do it.
The referee immediately stepped forward, for fear that Artest would retaliate, but to the judge's great surprise, the villain Artest didn't make any moves.
"Are you alright?" The referee stepped forward and asked Artest.
Artest endured the pain, patted the referee's shoulder with his hand in a friendly way, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm fine, don't be so nervous, old man, this is just an inadvertent foul, Sun Ye just gently pushed me, we are fine, don't blow him for a malicious foul, let alone punish him, I won't take it to heart." ”
Since his teammates didn't know the agreement between Artest and Sun Zhuo, little O'Neill saw that Artest was pushed, and wanted to rush over to help fight, but who knew that he heard Artest say such a thing.
"Ron is crazy, isn't he? After being pushed by Sun, not only was he not angry, but he even helped him speak? Plea to the referee on his behalf? Little O'Neill was stunned.
Even the referee was a little at a loss, and secretly said in his heart: "This must be a fake Artest!" ”
