Chapter 368: The Battle of Pretending!
Cavaliers away locker room.
The Washington Wizards had just finished killing the Cavaliers, and Arenas, the hero of winning the game + pretending to be the hero, happily returned to the locker room with a group of teammates, but who knew that as soon as he walked out of the 10,000-person arena and countless camera lenses, Arenas's expression suddenly changed.
When he was interviewed on the field just now, Arenas was still domineering with a blind eye to the world, and he even said wildly that he was the only one in the world who dared to celebrate the lore twice in advance and succeeded.
However, after returning to the locker room, not so many people watched, Arenas disguised as strong as a deflated balloon, the whole person wilted all at once, and after taking off his shirt, he sat down on the stool, panting heavily, and kept rejoicing: "Fortunately, this ball is in, it scares me to death." ”
In fact, Arenas was very nervous about the ball that shot the knight just now, and he was also afraid of being ridiculed for pretending to fail, and the Internet would become more and more popular in the future, and once he failed, his embarrassing experience may be circulated for a long time......
However, he had to do it again, because only once more than Sun Zhuo could he be qualified to become the spokesperson of the "Early Celebration Lore".
Thankfully, he succeeded this time. Often walking on the side of the road, how can there be shoes that don't get wet? Not everyone can pretend to be one at a time.
"Brother, you are so kind, you actually played an early celebration again, I really admire your courage." Wizards teammate Caron Butler patted Arenas on the shoulder, a smile on his face.
"It's okay, it's okay." Arenas whispered.
Seeing Arenas's relieved look, Antoine Jamison smiled: "Haha, Arenas, it seems that you are also very nervous, I thought you were really so psychologically strong, but you don't have to worry, celebrate this aspect in advance, Sun can no longer compare with you, you twice, he once, I guess he will never dare to come again." ”
Antoine Jamison thinks Arenas has outperformed Sun Zhuo in terms of pretensions, but Sun Zhuo's teammate last season, DeSean Stevenson, disagrees: "I don't see it that way, with what I know about Sun, he can't let someone else ride on his head, no matter what, he will want to win." ”
Seeing his new teammates say this, Arenas said with a serious expression: "Deshawn, I want to tell you, I'm not afraid of him to challenge, I'm hoping for him to challenge, he doesn't challenge, then in terms of celebrating in advance, he is a success like me, it's just that I have more times than him, only when he challenges again, he can become a loser who is ridiculed, hahaha." ”
"Are you so sure he's going to fail?" DeSean Stevenson continued.
Arenas smiled: "Guys, with all due respect, as a core player, especially a very popular star player in the world, when throwing a lore ball, the mood is not something you can understand, if it is just an ordinary shooter of the team to execute the last shot, no one will say anything if he misses it, but if the star player loses it, then the responsibility is his alone, there is a lot of pressure to shoot alone, not to mention that after the shot, he doesn't even look at it and turns around to celebrate, that kind of pressure, so big that you can't imagine, You would never know that when I turned around after throwing the lore just now, I felt my body freeze. I admit that Sun is very strong, but in the face of this pressure, do you still think he can shoot? ”
Arenas said this, and DeSean Stevenson also began to nod, "I agree with you. ”
……
"Arenas...... He's so kind, he even played another early celebration lore! Sun Zhuo also quickly learned about Arenas' deeds, and now that Magic has won nine consecutive victories, Arenas is the only one who can compete with Sun Zhuo.
"Arenas doesn't have a repeat challenge card, how dare he celebrate in advance again and again? Isn't he afraid of pretending to be forced to reverse Nick Yang? ”
Sun Zhuo began to become uneasy, and Arenas shouted in front of the media, saying that Sun Zhuo should be forgotten, and Sun Zhuo couldn't let the forced king of the alliance be robbed by him, so Sun Zhuo had to pay attention to it and find a way to start coping with it.
"The next game against the Grizzlies, and then the next game, is against the Wizards, and hopefully before I meet Arenas, I can have a chance to equalize." Sun Zhuo is ready to try to celebrate in advance in the next match, if he has the chance.
……
Two days later, the Magic team came to Memphis to challenge the Grizzlies, the Magic has started a nine-game winning streak, and winning this one more is a full ten consecutive wins, which is still in the absence of Howard and Nelson, if the ten consecutive wins can be completed, then Howard will return in Game 11, and the winning streak may continue.
The Grizzlies' Gasol was out due to injury, and this game was supported by Hakeem Varik and Mike Miller, and after two quarters, Sun Zhuo felt that winning this game and winning ten consecutive games was not a big problem.
However, what Sun Zhuo wants to do today is not just win.
"The next game is to play Wizards, I don't know how this guy will show off in front of me when I meet Arenas." Sun Zhuo knew that Arenas wanted to win him, and this pretending action of celebrating in advance did belong to Arenas, so Arenas was unwilling to lose to Sun Zhuo.
However, since Sun Zhuo grabbed it first, he didn't plan to hand over the spokesperson of "the most pretentious action in history" to him again.
In the second half, Sun Zhuo had a bold decision, on defense to the opposite Mike Miller more lax, so that he can shoot easier, Mike Miller will set a new three-point record in team history this season, his three-point shot is very good, Sun Zhuo gave some opportunities, Miller did not miss, relying on three-point projection, to catch up with the difference, and Sun Zhuo has been in control of the situation, not to let the Grizzlies lose, and will not let them lead.
Until the last minute, it was really the situation Sun Zhuo wanted to see, the score was flat, and it was the last attack of the Magic!
Before the Magic made their last attack, there was a timeout, and Pau Gasol, who was recovering from the injury, was watching the game on the spot, and the onlookers were clear, plus Gasol had been in contact with Sun Zhuo, and he seemed to see some clues.
Gasol said to Mike Miller: "You should know about the Wizards' Arenas provoking Sun?" The next time we defend, I'm afraid it's not just about whether we will lose or not, but also about how ugly we lose. ”
Gasol guessed Sun Zhuo's thoughts, he didn't have a deep grudge against Sun Zhuo, Sun Zhuo pretended to fail and was embarrassed, and it had nothing to do with Gasol, but, on the other hand, if Sun Zhuo pretended to succeed and was still on the home court of the Grizzlies, then Gasol would feel very faceless.
Mike Miller was taken aback: "Are you saying that he dares to respond to Arenas's provocation in the next attack?" He dared to celebrate in advance? ”
"After entering the alliance, what is there he that he doesn't dare to do?" Pau Gasol asked rhetorically.
Miller also gradually felt that he scored more points in the second half, could it not be a problem of feeling, but a problem of Sun Zhuo's defense, thinking of this, Mike Miller felt that Sun Zhuo was even more terrible, and hurriedly asked: "What should I do then?" ”
Gasol said: "It's actually a chance for us to win, no one is not worried about failure, especially a star player like Sun, who has a super high popularity, he is forced to do this, you can say a few words to him later, put a little more pressure on him, and even if he still chooses to celebrate early, I am afraid that most of them will fail." ”
Mike Miller nodded, Miller thinks that he is a shooter who likes to shoot more than Sun Zhuo, he has shot so many balls himself, and he doesn't dare to guarantee that he will hit a steady shot every time, I believe Sun Zhuo has no score in his heart.
After playing, as soon as the game began, Mike Miller posted in front of Sun Zhuo and said, "Do you want to respond to Arenas?" Then you have to think about the consequences of your failure, listen, the whole audience will laugh at you, including me. ”
There is still some time, Sun Zhuo is not in a hurry to attack, after listening to Mike Miller's "psychological tactics", I didn't expect Miller to play this trick, but this is of little use to Sun Zhuo.
"It's a big deal to use a tournament challenge card, what's there to be nervous about." Sun Zhuo did not become stressed at all by Miller's words.
Sun Zhuo controlled the time, and in the last two seconds, after a quick breakthrough, he directly pulled up the shot.
After Sun Zhuo shot this two-point shot, Pau Gasol, who was standing on the sidelines, did not look at the ball at all to see if the ball had scored, but kept staring at Sun Zhuo.
I saw that after Sun Zhuo threw the ball, he turned around!
Turn around and raise your arms!
This is an action to celebrate in advance!
"What? He really did it! Gasol looked shocked and quickly set his eyes on the basket!
Just listen to the smack! Basketball goes to the net!
"Ah~!" The magic players all rushed to Sun Zhuo, Monta Ellis jumped directly on Sun Zhuo, and was pushed away by Sun Zhuo, stay away, don't block the camera, Lao Tzu is pretending to be forced here!
"Hahaha, boss, you're so good, you really responded to Arenas, haha, look what else he has to say now!" Tekoglu also jumped excitedly.
As the defender of Sun Zhuo's last shot, Mike Miller thought that he had done his best, at this time, he stood in place blankly, looking at Pau Gasol, Gasol shrugged helplessly, and said secretly in his heart: "Mike Miller's words did not bring him a little burden and pressure, this guy's psychology is too strong!" ”
Sun Zhuo led the Magic team to ten consecutive victories! Moreover, Sun Zhuo also used early celebration actions twice to equalize with Arenas, and Arenas is no longer qualified to say that Sun Zhuo can be forgotten.
The audience at the scene also thought it was crazy.
"The next game against the Magic is the Washington Wizards, and Son and Arenas have a direct conversation, and I think it's important to pay attention to that game."
"Sun and Arenas are too messy! No one can shoot a 100 percent shot, let alone a lore shot! If they dare to continue to compare like this, sooner or later one of them will be embarrassed! ”
After learning that Sun Zhuo was celebrating the lore in advance, Arenas also became extremely panicked.
"This guy...... He really responded to me. ”
Arenas had lost sleep that night, and he sighed to himself countless times, and he was worried about only one thing, should this pretending contest of early celebration continue?
The second time he celebrated the lore early, Arenas was already panicking, and he couldn't imagine how much pressure he would have when he did it for the third time, and once there was pressure, the shooting percentage of the lore ball would be greatly reduced.
However, if he didn't continue, he would have to continue to share this honor with Sun Zhuo, and Arenas was unwilling.
"Honey, what's wrong with you? It's been like this since you came back, you're so stressed, do you want me to relax for you? Arenas' girlfriend, Laura Gfan, also woke up with her hands on Arenas' shoulders.
"No, I'll go out and breathe." Arenas walked out of the room, changed his clothes, and went out in a sports car.
Not long after leaving home, Arenas pulled over to the side of the road and made a phone call.
"Hey, I'm in a bad mood, is your husband at home?"
"He's not here."
"Then I'll go find you."
"Okay."
Arenas hung up the phone and drove to a lover's residence. Arenas is also a romantic person, Laura once broke the news that he cheated on countless times, and he had a lot of illegitimate children, and he couldn't even remember the age of the children.
Today, the woman Arenas is looking for is the wife of an NFL player who, after she became pregnant, didn't even know if the child was Arenas's or her husband's.
After a night of partying, it turns out that having a lover can help relieve stress, at least for players like Arenas.
After leaving his lover's place, Arenas was in a very good mood and became very confident.
"Isn't it just one more time? Sun, I'll compare you to the end! ”
……
Nov. 20, Orlando, home of the Magic.
Arenas and the Wizards entered the stadium, and the audience burst into boos.
A disdainful sneer appeared on the corner of Arenas's mouth: "Boos can only mean that you are afraid of me, and you should indeed be afraid of me!" ”
After the players from both sides came on the field, Arenas and Sun Zhuo, as the absolute protagonists of the day, did not communicate before the game.
"Sun, everyone is staring at you and Arenas, I'm coming back today, no one is paying attention, haha, but I don't care, I'm also very ......" Howard returned from a ban today, and there should have been a bit of a reaction at home, but today's limelight was completely stolen by the duel between Sun Zhuo and Arenas, and when he was joking and complaining, he suddenly heard an exclamation on the field.
Howard and Sun Zhuo were stunned at the same time and looked at the opposite half.
I saw the Wizards, not everyone was warming up and shooting, and in the entire half, only Arenas was shooting alone, and everyone else was watching.
And the reason why it caused the exclamation of the scene was precisely because of Arenas's three-point shot, shooting one into one!
"Oh! He's in again, he's hitting five three-pointers in a row! ”
"Hell, sixth! He feels amazing today! ”
"What? The seventh! ”
"Oh my God! Eight in a row! ”
Sun Zhuo was so angry that he wanted to flatten the basketball in his hand with one hand: "I hate that someone pretending to be forced in front of me the most!" ”
