You can't tell if Bill Walton really appreciates Sun Zhuo in his praise of Sun Zhuo before the game, but you can clearly feel Bill Walton's denial of Sun Zhuo after the game, especially when his son has been completely compared to him this season.

There are four games today, in addition to the Lakers and Rockets, the Spurs in the West easily defeated the Grizzlies and also got the first victory, the Pacers in the East defeated the Celtics, and they had the momentum to win the Eastern championship, and the Knicks were defeated by the Nets.

After the Pacers beat the Celtics, Jermaine O'Neal and Artest were asked in the post-game press interview if they had considered the next round opponent or even the championship, Artest said: "We are the best team in the league this season, our goal is to win the championship, I think we will meet the Los Angeles Lakers in the Finals, they have Shaq, Kobe, Karl Malone and Gary Payton, but in the end it will be us, listen, man, we will win this season!" ”

Artest said all five of the Lakers' starters, but did not mention Sun Zhuo's name, as if he deliberately wanted the reporter to mention it, and the reporter really said: "You seem to have forgotten that the Lakers also have a super rookie Sun Zhuo, who caused you trouble in the regular season." ”

"Trouble? Haha, don't you know that after I came back from the ban, we won all the way? Sun is still a rookie, look at his performance in the first playoff game, you know, the playoffs are a completely different stage, he will not play a role on the court, I think everyone overestimates Sun's ability, he has been lying down to win since the beginning of the regular season, he can still score points in the regular season, everyone can't see this, but in the playoffs, you can see from the data alone, the Lakers win has nothing to do with him. I don't think he'll average more than 10 points per game in the playoffs. Artest was also the first to learn about the Lakers' game after the game, and he was very clear about Sun Zhuo's performance in the first game.

"What if he averages more than 10 points per game?" The reporter vaguely felt that there was big news to dig up, and continued to ask.

Artest smiled: "Then I'll follow Charles Barkley and kiss the donkey's butt." ”

The big-mouthed Charles Barkley looked down on Yao Ming's bet, which was also used by Artest, who added after speaking: "I'm talking about the entire playoffs, not just against the Rockets series, and I'm sure I won't really do such a stupid thing like Charles." ”

Artest's shouting to Sun Zhuo immediately caused an uproar, especially on the Chinese side, which caused the anger of Chinese fans.

"It was Charles Barkley before, and now it's Ron Artest, why do you love to look down on Chinese players so much?"

"What kind of charm does a donkey's butt have that attracts so many people to kiss it?"

Sun Zhuo also quickly watched the news and knew what Artest said to himself, as far as Phil's current positioning for Sun Zhuo is concerned, unless he can throw a few three-pointers in every game, he may not be able to average 10 points per game.

In the playoffs, Sun Zhuo can't have a chance to score points, and the ball is almost impossible to get, the Lakers will resolutely play O'Neal and Kobe in order to win, the third choice point is Karl Malone, followed by Sun Zhuo, although Phil knows that Sun Zhuo has the ability to dunk from others, but Sun Zhuo's speed and ball control are not good enough, even if he makes a double turn, before he gets to the basket, the ball is taken away by the opponent.

When he returned home in the evening, Sun Zhuo came to the basketball court in the yard alone and continued to practice alone.

It didn't take long for the agent Emma to drive to Sun Zhuo's house.

"I guessed you'd be practicing alone tonight." Emma heard Artest's shouting to Sun Zhuo and called Sun Zhuo, but Sun Zhuo didn't answer, so she drove directly to Sun Zhuo.

This time, she didn't forget to bring sportswear and sneakers, picked up the prepared "sparring equipment" from the trunk, Emma said: "Wait for me for a few minutes, I'll change my clothes and train with you, tonight I can stand you from beginning to end without changing your position." ”

“…… Emma ...... "Sun Zhuo is still very moved, from the identity of the agent, she doesn't need to do this kind of thing, she just needs to comfort a few words."

A few minutes later, Emma changed her clothes and shoes, walked to the basketball court, and looked at Sun Zhuo: "What do you need me to do tonight?" ”

Sun Zhuo threw the ball to Emma, "Pass the ball to me, I'm an out-and-out role player now, and I need to practice more fixed-point shooting." ”

As Sun Zhuo's agent, Emma heard that her players were left out in the cold, and she was also a little unhappy: "Why? You have such good jumping ability, wouldn't it be better to attack the basket more? ”

Sun Zhuo did similar things in the regular season, the effect was good, and there were often amazing moves, but now it is different from the past, Sun Zhuo explained: "The reason is very simple, the first point, my speed is not fast enough, the opponent in the playoffs is very fierce, I can't get rid of the opponent's defense in the first place, the second point, my ball control is not good enough, if I can't get rid of the defense by speed or strength, I have to do the action of turning or changing direction, so that it will increase the probability of mistakes, although the number of shots this season is a record low, But his shooting percentage is the best in the league, and with such a simple and efficient scoring weapon, Phil won't tolerate me taking risks. ”

Emma also sighed: "No wonder you admire the Heat's Dwyane Wade so much, I have also seen him play, his speed is indeed fast, I believe that in the playoffs, it is difficult for the opponent to defend against him, if you also have this kind of speed." ”

Emma thought that Sun Zhuo would never be able to have this level of speed, but when it came to this, Sun Zhuo smiled faintly: "I will have it." ”

"Will there be?" Emma didn't understand the meaning of Sun Zhuo's words, could it be that speed is also like shooting, and it will increase if you keep training? Impossible, right?

Besides, Sun Zhuo himself is 10 centimeters taller than Wade, and his speed is definitely not as good as Wade's.

In Sun Zhuo's view, it is indeed not easy to reach Wade's speed, first of all, the speed of SF in the game "NBA World" is not as fast as SG, that is to say, even if Sun Zhuo reaches the full level of 50, it may not be as fast as Wade's speed, but in the later stage, after using the special training card, Sun Zhuo has the opportunity to improve his speed to the highest level.

"Say no more, pass me the ball." Sun Zhuo didn't want to think too far away, and when the attributes were full, it was time for Sun Zhuo to compete with these superstars, but now he must do a good job as a role player, otherwise, he may even be abandoned as a role player.

Sun Zhuo said, the person immediately walked to the direction of the bottom right corner, when Sun Zhuoren just came to the bottom corner of the three-point line, Emma's pass was just right, Sun Zhuo received the ball, and shot instantly, only to hear a sound, the ball hollowed into the net.

"Good shot!" Emma smiled and complimented.

Sun Zhuo didn't take it seriously, and ran to the bottom corner of the other side to do the same thing, and the ball arrived, Sun Zhuo just came to the bottom corner of the left side, and as soon as he received the ball, he immediately shot and hit the shot again.

"Hey, you're shooting a three-point shot from the bottom corner." Emma really praised it this time.

Sun Zhuo paused, he was also told by the assistant coach today that his bottom corner three-point shooting rate was good, could it be ......
