Kobe still remembers Sun Zhuo's ease after dividing most of the dunk movements, but in a blink of an eye, Sun Zhuo seemed to have backtracked again, which made Kobe Bryant not understand what Sun Zhuo was thinking, this was the first time he felt that he should usually party with his teammates, so that he could understand their thoughts more?

Carter still has two fouls in a single quarter, and he did not hesitate to foul Sun Zhuo to dunk today, which was also watched by the audience, and after that, Sun Zhuo did not try to dunk again, and the audience can understand.

"Alas, I thought that today I could see Sun show off his dunk to his heart's content, but I didn't expect it to be destroyed by Vince Carter, he has no idea of showing off his dunk now, and he is probably afraid of injury."

"The playoffs are getting closer and closer, and I don't know if I can see Sun's fancy dunk performance this season."

The game ended with the Lakers beating the Raptors, and Kobe Bryant scored a game-high 36 points, including many wonderful dunks, such as the windmill dunk, the 360-degree dunk that Sun Zhuo assigned to Kobe, Kobe Bryant basically completed.

Vince Carter, on the other hand, left the game with six fouls early and scored the lowest points of the season, and he failed to show a dunk at the Staples Center.

The Toronto Raptors also failed to make the playoffs this season, and after the regular season was over in a month, Vince Carter said goodbye to the Raptors for life.

Thinking of this, Sun Zhuo inevitably had some regrets and sentimentality after the game, and Carter's last encounter with the Raptors turned out to be like this, but fortunately, Carter is still at his peak, and if he changes teams next season, he can also play happily.

The last month of the regular season is fast for some teams and slow for others, some of them have already established a playoff spot, hoping that the playoffs will start as soon as possible and hit the championship, and some are still fighting for a playoff spot, giving their all in every game.

The Lakers were naturally the team that entered the playoffs early, but in the final stage of the regular season, they suddenly lost a few inexplicable games, and were overtaken by the Timberwolves, who became the first in the West.

This was interpreted by the media as the Lakers deliberately wanted to meet the Spurs in the second round.

The Timberwolves have the best record in the Western Conference, and Kevin Garnett, the core of the team, averages 25+14+5+2.3 per game in the regular season, and will be the regular season MVP this season.

However, the team with the best record in the NBA this season is not the Timberwolves, but the Pacers in the East.

When the Lakers finished the last regular season game of the season on April 14, Sun Zhuo's level was officially upgraded to level 30, which is enough for him to do a good job as a role player, but only as a role player.

This season, Sun Zhuo averaged 17 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists per game in the regular season, while James in the same class had 22.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 6.1 assists, and was the third player in the NBA to score 20+5+5 in his rookie season.

Therefore, the final best rookie will be won by James, but Sun Zhuo, who has already won the AMVP, doesn't care anymore.

On April 14th, the 2003-2004 regular season officially ended, and at the same time, the playoff matchup list was officially released!

On the western side, Garnett's Timberwolves faced the Nuggets of rookie melons in the first round, the Kings played the Mavericks, Sun Zhuo's Lakers played Yao Ming's Rockets, and the Spurs faced off against the Grizzlies.

In the East, the Pacers played the Celtics in the first round, Wade's Heat played Byron Davis' Hornets, the Pistons who will advance to the Finals played the Bucks, and the Nets played the Knicks.

In three days, the first round of the playoffs will be staged, which is the first playoff game of Sun Zhuo's career, and Sun Zhuo is inevitably a little nervous.

Although the current Lakers roster is luxurious, it is not safe to win the championship in the playoffs, Kobe's relationship with O'Neal is still not improving, and the same is true for O'Neal's relationship with Buss, similarly, the Lakers management has no intention of renewing the contract with Phil Jackson, when the Lakers announced the news, a reporter asked Kobe Bryant if it would affect Kobe's choice to become a free agent, Kobe replied: "I don't care." ”

Jeanie Buss, who is currently only in charge of marketing, is convinced that the Lakers deliberately put Phil in this predicament.

The choice of Kobe Bryant after becoming a free agent is like a cloud hanging over the team, and Kobe Bryant has also alienated the team, both physically and mentally.

Kobe Bryant wasn't the only problem on the team, Gary Payton also had trouble adapting to the new system, he used to hold the ball most of the time, but now had to share the ball with other players who liked to carry the ball, and he didn't get used to the new system until the end of the regular season.

There is also the injury of Karl Malone, which is also worrying.

It wasn't until he was completely in this luxury squad that Sun Zhuo felt that the Zijin Lakers were not so confident in the face of the playoffs and the championship, especially since they were just defeated last year.

The Lakers' training gym is starting to get quiet, and O'Neal, the big shark who has always laughed, rarely laughs out loud, he can be lazy in the regular season, but he has to wake up in the playoffs, because the playoffs are the stage for him, and he will be a terrible dominator.

Bryant, as always, distanced himself from others and practiced alone.

Karl Malone and Gary Payton, with unease on their faces, desperately want to win a championship and end their careers, but with the current state of the team, they are not sure where the Lakers will go.

The Spurs are strong, the Timberwolves are strong, and the Pistons and Pacers in the East.

Sun Zhuo walked up to Phil Jackson and chatted with him in the corner of the training hall.

"Coach, is the playoffs really a completely different game from the regular season? In the past few days, I have seen Shaq, Kobe, and Karl Malone's demeanor change. "Sun Zhuo currently has two repeat challenge cards, but only two, most of the time he still has no chance to come back, although he has watched countless NBA playoffs in his previous life, but after being reborn, Sun Zhuo knows that watching the game and playing by himself is completely different.

"There is a saying in Buddhism that before enlightenment, chop wood and carry water, and after enlightenment, chop wood and carry water. There are some things you don't need to rush to know the answers, because whether you know it or not, all you need to do is chop wood and carry water. ”

Sun Zhuo suddenly felt that Phil's Zen phrase was more like talking about himself, whether he left or not at the end of this season, what he wanted to do now was to win the championship in this "last season".

Staples Center, 17 April 2004.

The Lakers' first playoff game of the season is officially underway, and the Lakers' F4+ rookie duo is highly anticipated, and they will be going to prove today how far they can go in the playoffs.
