Chapter 1: Rebirth 2003!
On June 13, 2017, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers to win the championship for the 2016-2017 season.
The unprecedented Big Four have lost a total of one in the playoffs, and their opponents, the Cavaliers, who have the Big Three of James, have only lost one game in the East.
It is foreseeable that the opponent of next year's finals is still them.
Sun Zhuo turned off the TV in the living room, not as excited as at the end of the season in previous years, everything was too suspenseful, from the moment Durant joined the Warriors, he knew that the Warriors would win the championship, and as long as the Big Four were not disbanded, other teams would have no chance.
"Today's stars, it's too easy to win the championship, and superstar huddles will be more popular in the future, but I still miss the era when one person held one city alone......"
Sun Zhuo sighed, he heard the mobile phone in the bedroom ring, so he paddled his wheelchair to the bedroom.
It's a game push.
"Got a game called NBA World? Download it and take a look, I can't do anything else anyway. ā
Sun Zhuo's face was a little sad, he used to be a professional basketball player, but he had an accident while skiing, and he wanted to commit suicide several times afterwards, and then he believed in Jesus, believing that God would arrange a better arrangement for him, and his mood gradually stabilized.
After downloading the game, Sun Zhuo spent a long time learning about the game, and then began to create characters.
Game name: Sun Zhuo.
He had never been used to any screen name, so he used his own name.
Profession: Small forward.
Although it is the era of point guards, judging from the just-concluded Finals matchup, it is still two small forwards who dominate the league.
Nationality: Chinese of course.
Age, height, weight, these things are all set automatically by the game, Sun Zhuo can only simply choose his face shape and hairstyle, fortunately, the game design is very beautiful, and it still looks very handsome from the screen alone.
Then, it's about choosing a team, and this game can be chosen not only for the current team, but also for any team from the past year.
Sun Zhuo found the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2003-2004 season, which is also a team with the "Big Four", but in the end it did not win the championship.
Jersey number, Sun Zhuo chose the number 24.
At this time, Kobe Bryant was still wearing No. 8, and No. 24 was naturally optional.
"Congratulations on being a part of the Los Angeles Lakers for the 2003-2004 season! Your NBA career is about to begin! ā
Suddenly, Sun Zhuo felt a light enter his body, and when he opened his eyes again, there was a completely different world in front of him.
ā¦ā¦
"The Lakers are too strong this year! We have Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, another 50 superstar Karl Malone, and Gary Payton, and I think this season, the Lakers will win the championship again! ā
"Today's season opener, let the opponent learn the horror of the Lakers! It's a pity that Kobe Bryant missed the game today, and I don't know how much the Eagle County incident will affect him, and the conflict between him and Shaq is getting hotter and hotter. ā
āā¦ā¦ā
In the noisy scene and dazzling lights, Sun Zhuo stepped on the middle circle of the floor with his feet, and looked around for a long time on the golden background LOGO printed with the word LACERS, still unable to believe everything in front of him.
Everything is so unreal.
"This is the Staples Center? I came to Los Angeles, USA? But I'm not playing a game, am I? ā
Sun Zhuo couldn't help but believe that he had traveled back to 2003, because he really saw the most dominant star, Shaquille O'Neal, and the suit-wearing, calm Lakers coach, "Zen Master" Phil Jackson.
Even, Sun Zhuo saw a fresh and sweet big star in the first row of VIP audience, Jessica Alba, this is his goddess.
None of this is an illusion, Sun Zhuo really came to 2003 and became a professional basketball player, Sun Zhuo suddenly had a lot of memories in his head.
For example, he was a rookie drafted by the Lakers with the 24th pick in the first round in 2003, the same class as LeBron James, Anthony, and Wade.
His appearance is the same as in the game, he is two meters and three meters tall, weighs 100 kilograms, is 21 years old, and is from China, which is also consistent with the game.
"I've become a virtual game character? Am I no longer the disabled person who can't even walk? Thank God! I have my life again! ā
Sun Zhuo jumped up excitedly on the most exquisite floor in the league, and he even had the urge to run all over the field!
"Haha, that rookie from China looks excited, last year's top pick Yao Ming is eye-catching, and I hope this Chinese kid can also make a name for himself in the NBA."
"Hey, man, he can't compare to Yao, in fact, we don't know if he can get a chance to play today."
Sun Zhuo is another Chinese player who has stepped into the NBA after Yao Ming, but Sun Zhuo is not as favored as Yao Ming, he does not have Yao Ming's unique height, nor does he have the physical fitness of James, and his basketball skills are obviously not ranked in the talent-rich NBA.
There are many predictions that Sun Zhuo may not be able to gain a foothold in the NBA.
But Sun Zhuo knew that he could definitely do it.
Because he found that although he was reborn in the real world of 2003, he has the attributes of a game character!
[Sun Zhuo's first-class attribute].

"The maximum level of this game is 50, and as long as I reach the full level, I will have the ability to be comparable to a superstar!"
Upgrading is definitely based on playing games, and winning games will definitely gain more experience points than losing games.
Sun Zhuo has time, he is not worried about his future foothold in the NBA, he is more worried about the game in front of him. Because his ability at the moment is indeed a little weak, if it were not for the great power of this game, he would not believe that a person with such ability would enter the NBA as a first-round rookie, and he is still a Chinese.
"Hey, Sun, what's wrong with you? I saw you very excited just now, and now your face is full of melancholy. You don't have to be too nervous, this is our first game in the NBA, but we don't necessarily get a chance to play, and even if we do, it won't last more than 10 minutes. Luke Wharton, also a rookie in the Class of 2003, walked over.
When Sun Zhuo saw Luke Wharton, a smile immediately appeared on his face, the guy in front of him is also a member of the 03 Golden Generation, he was selected by the Lakers in the second round, and he was ranked a little lower than Sun Zhuo.
Although Luke Walton did not achieve much during his playing days, after retiring, he became an assistant coach of the Golden State Warriors in 2014 and helped the Warriors win the championship that season.
In the second season, Warriors coach Steve Kerr was injured and absent from coaching, and Luke Wharton took the helm position, coaching a 39-4 record, and finally helped the Warriors set a new all-time record of 73-9 with Coach Kerr.
"Luke Wharton? It's really nice to see you, it's nice to be a team-mate with you and you're going to be a great manager in the future, so don't worry too much about it even if you don't play well as a player. Sun Zhuo excitedly extended his hand to Luke Wharton.
But Luke Wharton was not too happy when he heard this, but frowned and said: "Hey, I know I have the talent to be a coach, but I haven't played a game in my career, how do you know that I will fail as a player?" ā
After saying that, Luke Walton walked away, obviously, he is not thinking about becoming a coach now, at the moment he just wants to make a name for himself in the NBA as a player.
Sun Zhuo's English is good, but he still let Luke Wharton misunderstand what he meant, and just when Sun Zhuo just wanted to step forward and re-explain, he suddenly felt a huge palm behind him, slapping heavily on his right shoulder!
This heavy force makes people feel suffocated!
Sun Zhuo looked back and saw that it was the "big shark" O'Neill who made the whole league helpless!
O'Neal looked serious, looking at Sun Zhuo's eyes as if he was looking at a prey, the two were teammates, but Sun Zhuo's strange actions and words just now seemed to make the Lakers boss unhappy.
O'Neill warned Sun Zhuo: "Boy, go over there honestly to warm up, and don't do these eye-catching things again." ā
Sun Zhuo has always liked O'Neal's domineering style of play, and it was the first time he had such close contact with the most dominant player, and he didn't hear what he said at all, but just blurted out: "M...... Dā¦ā¦ P (Most Dominant Player)"
O'Neill was stunned for two seconds when he heard Sun Zhuo call him "MDP", and then his serious face immediately disappeared, and he laughed insolently: "Hahahaha, good brother, Sun, you are my person, this time is mine, you can do whatever you want, if the German on the other side has any opinion, you tell me, I will clean him up!" ā
"Also, you're going to get a chance to play tonight, you're going to get my pass, get ready for your NBA debut, FISH!"
