The Lakers and the Spurs can already be called rivals, from 99 to 04, five times in the playoffs in six consecutive years, what makes Spurs fans most excited is the Purple Gold Lakers who witnessed the team wreaking havoc on luxury, so even in 2014, the Lakers have been reduced to a team that cannot enter the playoffs, and the Spurs and Lakers game tickets are still selling hot, basically sold out, and can be compared with such ticket sales, only the Thunder of Durant and James Wade Bosh at that time were on a par with such ticket sales.

Since they are old rivals, they naturally know each other well, how much storm Kobe and O'Neal can set off, and how much trouble GDP can create for the Lakers, Popovich and Phil Jackson knew before the game, but after the first game, the Lakers took advantage of the Spurs, that is, Sun Zhuo.

Not to mention that Popovich's Spurs don't know Sun Zhuo, even Phil Jackson, who is the head coach, doesn't know how much potential he has.

On the Lakers' side, Phil Jackson found Sun Zhuo and asked, "Is your three-point shooting percentage in other positions not as accurate as the bottom corner?" ”

Sun Zhuo nodded honestly, "Yes, I have a soft spot for the two positions in the bottom corner, so when I train, I pay more attention to the bottom corner, and the hit rate of other positions is average." ”

Phil Jackson said: "Your first three-point shot was all shot in the bottom corner, I guess Popovich also found out this, the next game you will not have a good chance of the bottom corner three-pointer, in other positions you can also try to shoot, it doesn't matter if you can't shoot, if you shoot, it may have unexpected effects." ”

What Popovich thought, the Zen master also thought of all, the Zen master felt that Popovich must be very interested in Sun Zhuo's three-point shooting rate in other positions, since he wanted to know, then tell him that if he happened to throw it, maybe he could scare Popovich.

Phil is absolutely confident in this series, even without Sun Zhuo, he can still win, so at this moment he already has the mentality of joking at the opponent.

On May 5, the Lakers and Spurs continued their second game of the series at the AT&T Center.

Sun Zhuo's feeling of entering this time is very different from the first entry.

When he first came, Sun Zhuo was regarded as a "lying winner", Spurs fans ridiculed Sun Zhuo's ability, and wished that Sun Zhuo could make more mistakes to assist the Spurs, but he didn't expect that he was such an unappreciated player who led the team to make the Spurs lose the first game of the playoffs.

Seeing him in the stadium again today, the fans already have jealousy in their hearts, for fear that this mysterious Chinese will expose some new tricks tonight, once the game becomes 0:2, and it is still in the case of two home games, then the series will be over.

For Spurs, it is a must win today!

"I feel like the series with the Lakers hasn't started yet, why did I lose one game inexplicably? Sun, a rookie, is really good. Duncan began to pay more attention to Sun Zhuo, a rookie, he didn't think that rookies would play a role in the playoffs, Duncan himself is a good example, Duncan averaged 21+12 per game in the regular season in his rookie season, and also entered the top five MVP, even in the playoffs, in the first game, Duncan cut 32+10, and also won.

Not to mention Magic Johnson, who won the FMVP in his rookie season, so he still can't underestimate the rookie.

But in fact, the current Sun Zhuo is really not at the level of Duncan and Magic, and the Spurs must not overestimate Sun Zhuo's ability, otherwise, it will ......

At the beginning of the game, Tekoglu stared at Sun Zhuo with a twelve-point spirit, especially to see if he had a tendency to go to the bottom line, but this time, Sun Zhuo did not obsess about three points in the bottom corner, but shot one at the top of the arc.

Catching and shooting at the top of the arc is far less than the three-point shooting rate in the bottom corner, and Turkoglu has not completely gotten rid of it, and Sun Zhuo has no confidence in this shot, but Sun Zhuo is lucky, and the ball actually hit the board.

"Oh hell, he's thrown in again! His three points are amazing! ”

As soon as they saw Sun Zhuo shoot a three-pointer, Spurs fans went crazy.

Popovich also had a gloomy face, "Sure enough, today he is going to shoot three points in other positions, we must stop him, and we must not let him score in a row again!" ”

Popovich shouted on the field, and Turkoglu also received an order, and then he will follow Sun Zhuo step by step, not even giving him a chance to shoot!

When Sun Zhuo received the ball on the outside again, Turkoglu really clung to Sun Zhuo, just like Stephen Curry was treated in 2017.

"I love the feeling of being valued." Sun Zhuo is very happy, and in the bottom corner, he has no three-point threat in the first place, and now the defenders are close to him, isn't this just to help him break through?

Even if Sun Zhuo's speed value is not high now, he can easily pass Tekoglu in just one step and go straight to the basket!

"Rare guest!" Tim Duncan, who was sitting in the basket, couldn't help but feel very fresh when he saw Sun Zhuo coming with the ball, you know, in the last game, Sun Zhuo didn't break through with the ball in the whole game, and all of them shot in the bottom corner.

Tim Duncan's long arms are already hungry and thirsty, and other Spurs players such as Tony Parker and Bruce Bowen are as excited as seeing Sun Zhuo coming to the basket as if they saw the prey that took the initiative to send them to the door, of course, they are also afraid, because Sun Zhuo's bounce power is too amazing, but they know that Sun Zhuo's ability to protect the ball is not strong, so they all want to cut Sun Zhuo's ball.

As soon as Sun Zhuo took the second step, he felt that something was wrong, how did he feel that all the defenders were rushing to his side? Sun Zhuo was still thinking about whether it was possible to play a double-turn dunk, but now it seems that it is completely out of play.

At this time, Kobe Bryant actually ran to the bottom left corner and stretched out his hand to ask for the ball, Sun Zhuo had already seen Kobe's position, but deliberately pretended not to see it, stared at the basket in front of him, and then passed the ball over.

"This guy...... What to do without looking at people passing. Sun Zhuo's pass was a little off, Kobe Bryant complained after receiving the ball, and then hit a three-point shot in the bottom corner.

Spurs fans can't sit still now, and they actually let Kobe Bryant empty? Sun Zhuo alone attracted so many defenses?

In fact, when Sun Zhuo successfully broke through, it was destined that one player in the Lakers team would get an opportunity to shoot in the open position, even if it was not Kobe, others would still be able to hit with a high probability.

The most critical issue is the defense of Sun Zhuo's three-point shot, if you stick so tightly, Sun Zhuo will definitely surprise you.

"I hate three-pointers, so why doesn't the NBA make four-pointers and five-pointers? Let's just turn into a circus! Popovich had said this in his previous life in the face of the three-point perverted Golden State Warriors, and now, Sun Zhuo asked him to say it in advance.

Popovich has always hated the setting of the three-point shot, the three-point shot is too fast, and Popovich has to defend it, but once he pays attention to the outside, he must lose something in other aspects.

"There's still a shark on the inside line that hasn't made a threat, it's really scary to think about!" By the second game of the series, Popovich didn't know what to do.

"Coach, can you give me more chances in this game?" At this time, Ginobili suddenly stepped forward and said.
