What people remember will always become more and more blurred with time, and Sun Zhuo feels that it is quite meaningful to do this.

Carey didn't stay in Orlando for a long time, Sun Zhuo was going to play away, there was no time to spend with her, and she also knew that Sun Zhuo was now in a very critical regular season finale, just stayed for a day, and then left, Kerry said that when the Magic team played the playoffs, she would come over to watch.

It's March, this month's game is particularly intense, if there is a team that wants to sprint to the playoffs, wait until April to impact, but it's too late, March is also a crucial month for the Magic team, as long as in this month, Sun Zhuo can still maintain the same performance as the previous two months, so that the Magic in the top two positions in the East, then Sun Zhuo, the regular season MVP, can basically be locked.

However, considering the problems of the playoffs, Sun Zhuo had to make some trade-offs, and he needed to give up some possession for Howard and them to work on.

Several animations made by Sun Zhuo were completed quickly, and after completion, Sun Zhuo specially screened them for Howard and several people after everyone watched the video of the competition.

Sun Zhuo took out his notebook in the locker room and beckoned to Howard: "Dwight, you're about to fall asleep watching the videotape, come over and show you something beautiful." ”

Howard yawned, he really didn't have much interest in watching the game tape, especially the game he had just played, he didn't think it was anything to see, hearing Sun Zhuo's words, Howard immediately became interested, stepped forward and said, "Good thing?" Could it be Victoria Cruz's new film? You're a surprise to me, haha! ”

"Ahem...... Boss, this is the team locker room, looking at it here, it doesn't seem like it's right? Tekoglu also thought it was Victoria's movie, and reminded him, and his face was a little embarrassed, because Victoria had a one-night stand with him, and he always felt that it was not good for his woman to be watched by everyone.

Sun Zhuo said helplessly: "You guys are thinking too much, it's animation." ”

"Haha, I really have taste, I don't like to watch real people, in fact, the animation is pretty good." Nelson laughed and came over.

"......" Sun Zhuo was even more speechless, it turned out that Nelson still had an interest in watching CR animation.

When Sun Zhuo turned on the FLASH animation on the computer and saw a few stickmen standing on the basketball court, they knew that it was a real animation or a basketball animation.

Nelson scratched his head and walked back in high spirits, while Howard still found it interesting and asked, "I seem to have heard you say that RB has a basketball cartoon that is very classic, what is it called "Slam Dunk", this is the cartoon, right?" IMHO, it's shabby enough, haha. ”

"It's not a cartoon, it's a tactical move that I specially designed and produced, and there are several classic passing combinations, you can see how people pass it, and learn it well." Sun Zhuo said.

Howard laughed, "Isn't it? Let me learn the movements of an anime character? Oh, sorry, I forgot that you designed the movements, well, it's rare that you animate them, so I'll enjoy them. ”

Howard took the notebook, placed it on his lap, and began to read it while drinking water.

Afraid that Howard wouldn't understand, Sun Zhuo also deliberately explained beside him: "The one who wears the No. 1 jersey can be regarded as me, and the one who wears the No. 33 jersey can be regarded as you." ”

"Boss, the animator got my number wrong, I'm number 12, and this number 33 is too fat, how can I be so fat." Howard also thought that the prototype of this No. 33 was himself, and he was a little dissatisfied.

"Don't worry about the details, I meant to make you think it was you, I didn't say it was you." Sun Zhuo explained, replayed the animation, and said: "You see, the blue is our team, the white jersey is our opponent, and now it's our side attacking, and Nelson is holding the ball at the top of the arc. ”

"Oh? And me? When Nelson heard this, he immediately stepped forward.

"The number 1 is me, at a 45-degree angle on the right side, and I have a defender who is close to me all the time, and I'm trying to get rid of his defense, let's say this number 15 is Tekoglu or Granger, and he is standing above the free throw line to cover for me, and I use the cover to get rid of the defender at a certain second, and at this point, Nelson passes the ball to you."

Bang!

There was a crisp sound of a basketball hitting the floor from the computer, and it was an assist pass from No. 33 to No. 1.

"See? If you can pass me a ball like this at the moment when I get rid of the defender and let me hit the basket directly, this offense will be easily solved! ”

Sun Zhuo said excitedly, he expects Howard to become a big man who dares to pass the ball and can pass the ball like Dior, if this is the case, the game will become much simpler, like the situation demonstrated in the animation, this season Magic has not appeared, Sun Zhuo ran without the ball to get rid of the defenders, but the escape was successful, Howard also failed to pass the ball, the purpose of his passing was too obvious, and it was very slow, as soon as it was passed to Sun Zhuo's hands, the defenders all followed.

"Oh, boss, your animation is like a sci-fi movie, it's so cool." Howard grinned with his big white teeth, not that the pass was bad, but that it was too good, too cool, and too unrealistic.

In the animation, when No. 1 receives the ball, there is a player in a white jersey standing next to No. 1, who may cut off the pass at any time, and the No. 33 pass is a backward pass with his back to the basket, which is a difficult pass in itself.

Howard didn't say what was in his heart, but continued to watch the animation made by Sun Zhuo.

The animations produced by Sun Zhuo are all classic passing actions without exception, and Howard is naturally amazed, but they all feel that these are fictional and imagined by Sun Zhuo, but Howard, the big boy, also enjoys it.

Next, Howard watched a very classic passing move from Makgasole's previous life.

"Oh, this animation is obviously not a designer from the animation just now, you see that this 33rd is not as fat as the 33rd just now, hahaha." Howard said with a smile, since Mark Gasol is also No. 33, Howard still thinks that the two No. 33s are actually one person, or in other words, Howard thinks that Sun Zhuo has set the inside center to be No. 33, and there will be no other number.

"Oh, that's a cool move!" Howard was shocked when he saw Marc Gasol's pass.

Marc Gasol's action is that he first received a pass from his teammates in the low post, and after receiving the ball, he immediately attacked the basket, which seemed to be about to be strong in a single game, but after dribbling, he took two steps, but it was not a layup or throw, but a pass without looking at people, and a basket teammate slipped in the bottom corner of the right side.

"Haha, boss, you're so imaginative, these moves are very cool." Howard really watched it like a cartoon and was very excited to watch it, but Sun Zhuo doubted whether Howard would really learn something and practice in private.

Howard didn't give an exact reply, he just kept praising Sun Zhuo for doing a great job of these animations, which impressed him very much, if Sun Zhuo just found a few people to demonstrate it in front of him, then maybe Howard would forget it in a few days, but these animated images are very interesting, and they won't be forgotten in a few months.

At the end of the day's practice, Nelson and Howard left the arena in the same car, and in the car, Nelson asked Howard, "Will you practice as Sun says?" Will you apply these moves to the playing field? ”

Howard smiled: "Spare me, I don't dare to pass the ball like that, these animations, one or two are normal, there have been magicians or others who have done similar actions before, but some are too bold, the key problem is that these actions are fictional, these defenders and attackers are all imagined by Sun Zhuo, not a real game picture, it looks really cool, but I don't think it really adapts to our realistic game." ”

Nelson was puzzled: "But, looking at Sun's explanation, it seems that he has really experienced these games, besides, whether it is creation or animation, the author will combine some things that have happened in reality, do you say that these actions are not what he experienced before entering the NBA?" ”

"Experienced in reality?" As soon as Howard tilted his head back, he immediately leaned forward again and said: "Don't be funny, man, before he entered the NBA, he didn't even play in the CBA, and even if it is the CBA, it is impossible to have such a high-level game, the passes in these animations we watch are rare in the NBA, if this is a game that he has personally experienced, there is only one possibility." ”

"What is possible?" Nelson touched the steering wheel and looked at Howard.

"There's a league in the world that's better than the NBA, and it's a very secret league underground, and everybody doesn't know, haha, do you think it's possible?" Howard smiled and threw his head back again.

Nelson also smiled, indeed, those animations show a high level, but how can there be a league in the world that is higher than the NBA?

……

Since the victory over the Cavaliers, the Magic began to plan to give Howard and these young people the opportunity to exercise, Sun Zhuo also reduced his shots, and the Magic's record also began to fluctuate, basically losing one game and winning one game, sometimes losing in a row, but not winning in a row.

Halfway through March, the regular season is just over a month away, and by this time, the Magic's record has slipped to fourth place in the East, and there is only one win away from fifth.

Can Sun Zhuo still win the regular season MVP?

In the eyes of many, this is a bit of hope.

When Wei Shao won the regular season MVP in 2017, he led the team to sixth place in the West in the regular season, but he got a triple-double this season, and the selection criteria are still a little different from what they value now.

From 2006, moving forward, last season, when Nash won the regular season MVP trophy, the Suns were the first in the record, in the 03-04 season, Garnett won the MVP, the Timberwolves were the first in the West, the MVP Duncan in the 01-02 season and the 02-03 season, and the same is true for the Spurs, the MVP Iverson in the 00-01 season, and the Philadelphia 76ers are also the first in the East.

If the Magic are only in the fourth or fifth place in the East, then he will indeed be very uncompetitive against Steve Nash, and everyone will say that Sun Zhuo is a player with better individual ability, but not the best candidate for MVP.

"Sun has no hope of winning the MVP this season, and not only that, but they won't go far in the playoffs this season." James has always paid attention to the situation of Sun Zhuo and the Magic, knowing that the Magic's record has declined, Sun Zhuo's personal data is not so explosive, and judging from the performance of young players such as Magic Howard during this time, they are unlikely to do much in the playoffs.

James is very happy, as long as Sun Zhuo doesn't win the MVP and the championship, then they are still in the same position, and James can surpass him at any time.

At this moment, facing the current situation, Sun Zhuo is also very uncomfortable.

After the team's four-game losing streak, Coach Hill stayed with Sun Zhuo after everyone left the stadium.

When Sun Zhuo wanted to help young players like Howard grow, Coach Hill said a word to Sun Zhuo, telling him to be patient, because he knew that with Sun Zhuo's age and his personality, everything wants to see the result quickly, but this is obviously unrealistic, Sun Zhuo can be amazing in a short time after entering the league, but others can't, and some people only know how to use their talents after playing for a few years.

Hill and Sun Zhuo sat side by side in the locker room, seeing Sun Zhuo's depressed face, comforted: "I told you before, this is not an easy thing to see results, if you are too anxious, it will only affect your emotions, I have the same opinion as you, Dwight Howard is a talented center who needs to be used well in a certain system, but now he is still very immature, even if each of them is comfortable and plays in their favorite way, they still can't win the game." ”

"Brian, do you think we can challenge for the championship with our strength this year? Can you beat the Miami Heat and the Dallas Mavericks? Sun Zhuo is really in a bad mood, not because he is getting farther and farther away from the regular season MVP, but because during this period of time, he found that his extremely talented teammates are too immature now.

Howard, Ariza, Danny Granger, all of them are indeed strong, they can be called giants, but that was a few years later.

Sun Zhuo began to wonder if this magic team could still hit the championship?

Brian Hill said, "Who knows what hasn't happened yet? I'm sure you're ready to make a big playoff break, and I'm sure no one can stop you, and now you feel that the help around you may not be enough, and I'm asking you a question, if Dwight and the others are improving very quickly and fully meeting your expectations, do you think our team can win the championship? ”

Sun Zhuo didn't answer, there have been too many accidents in the history of the NBA, and there is nothing certain at all.

The frustration in Sun Zhuo's heart disappeared a lot, "You're right, no matter what our strength is, the playoffs are an adventure full of uncertainties, and all we can grasp is now!" ”
