Chapter 260: Changing the Rocket
Dallas, Texas.
After the Rockets 2:0 Mavericks, at the post-game press conference, the interviews were with smiling Maddie and Yao Ming.
Reporter: "T-MAC, today you rewrote the score to 2:0 with a quasi-stunner, and it was still in the Mavericks' two home courts, and then you will return to Houston's home court, the series started so smoothly, and your hand is unstoppable, may I ask, how many games do you plan to solve this series?" Do you want to sweep your opponent 4-0? ”
Maddie was dressed in a formal suit, put on earrings, and smiled very charmingly, and said, "No, no, the Mavericks are very good opponents, I think it's not easy to sweep them, but after winning two games in a row on the road, I think we have a huge advantage in this series, and then we just need to keep it up, and since I came to Houston, we have only one goal, the championship." ”
Although Maddie didn't explain it verbally, it can be seen that he has completely stopped taking Mavericks seriously and has begun to imagine the next opponent, or even the championship, which is an extremely dangerous idea!
In the evening, Sun Zhuo called Yao Ming.
"Yao Ming, congratulations on your two consecutive away wins." Sun Zhuo obviously didn't call to congratulate them.
"Haha, thank you, you guys also got their first win in the series, come on, try to win two games in a row away from home like us." Yao Ming is as happy as Maddy, and both leaders are so confident that it is conceivable that the other players of the Rockets also think that the Rockets' victory is a foregone conclusion.
Sun Zhuo pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "Yao Ming, what I say next may make you feel very disappointed, but I think it is necessary to remind you and Maddie that the Mavericks are not easy opponents to deal with, they are very tenacious, even if you are 2:0 ahead, even if you have to return to your home court next, I think they still have a great chance to equalize and overtake, once they let them equalize, you know that the balance of victory will tilt to that side." ”
Yao Ming's face darkened with a smile, hearing such words at such a time was indeed a big mess, but who wouldn't do such a thing as icing on the cake? Sun Zhuo, an outsider, why would he say such annoying words? Aren't you more concerned about Yao Ming and Rocket?
Since the Athens Olympics, Yao Ming's friendship with Sun Zhuo has deepened, and he now trusts Sun Zhuo very much, so he attaches great importance to Sun Zhuo's reminders.
"Oh, it's a bit of a disappointment to hear this at this time, but I'm sure you're kind enough to remind you." Yao Ming said.
Sun Zhuo knew that Yao Ming had always been calm and mature, with the demeanor of a general, and would not fail to listen to his own advice, so he said: "Yao Ming, anything can happen in the NBA, unless you are 3:0, I think you can relax your vigilance, 2:0 Mavericks can still chase back, their overall strength is above you in my opinion, but you and Maddie The ability of the two stars is what they don't have." In the next game, you must control the number of fouls, don't give the referee too many opportunities to blow your fouls, and you must not be sent off. ”
"Do you think the next whistle will be biased in favor of the calf?" Yao Ming interjected.
"I don't know, it's possible, it's not like the league won't do this kind of thing, you entered the NBA earlier than me, you should know this." Sun Zhuo replied.
"Okay, you go on."
"Now you are 2:0 ahead, the Mavericks will definitely find a way to equalize, now you, the mentality is the most important, if you can forget the big score now, and still treat the game as a 0:0 fight, as long as you win one of the next two games, I think you will be stable, so I called you, you convey my words to Maddy, so that he will not relax in the next two games, continue to give 100% effort to fight for a victory."
"Thank you, Sun Zhuo, as an opponent in the west, you can care so much about us, tell me this, I am very moved, I will convey these words to Maddie."
At the same time that Sun Zhuo called Yao Ming, Kobe Bryant was also calling his good friend Maddie and congratulated him on leading 2:0.
After Maddie and Kobe Bryant finished the call, Yao Ming conveyed Sun Zhuo's words to Maddie, and Maddie's happy mood was instantly affected.
Maddie said to Yao Ming: "It's also a friend, Kobe Bryant gave me congratulations and blessings, but Sun asked me to fight for a victory in a 2:0 situation?" Is he trying to hurt me? I'm not going to listen to him, we're going to win this series! ”
The next day, Yao Ming told Sun Zhuo about Maddie's attitude, which was also expected by Sun Zhuo, but he planned to change the fate of the rocket, even if Maddie didn't appreciate it, he still planned to do it, maybe he had too deep feelings for the rocket team in his previous life.
On this day, the Lakers are going to play the second game with the Spurs, and before the game starts, a reporter interviewed Sun Zhuo, who used the media to talk about the series with the Spurs at the same time, and also talked about the Rockets and Mavericks by the way.
"Although the Rockets lead the Mavericks 2-0, if you ask me who will advance in the end, I will choose the Mavericks, they are stronger, and they will win the next two away games, maybe Maddie will have a different opinion with me, but you can ask him to make a bet with me to see who wins in the end."
In order to force Maddie to pay attention to the next two games, Sun Zhuo deliberately provoked Maddie and the Rockets in front of the media, maybe doing so would cause dissatisfaction among Maddie and Rocket fans, but Sun Zhuo never cared about these, if he wanted to be a good person to be worshiped and emulated, he would not choose to learn from O'Neal, would not fight with Artest on the field, and would not provoke James Anthony......
Sun Zhuo only cares about one thing: Is my rebirth meaningful?
After hearing Sun Zhuo's provocation, Rocket fans really began to besiege Sun Zhuo, thinking that Yao Ming and you are both Chinese, why not support the rocket, but support the calf, but Yao Ming quickly stood up and said that Sun Zhuo was concerned about the rocket being reversed, but Maddie did not appreciate it, of course, he did not dare to bet with Sun Zhuo, but he already had a determination in his heart to prove Sun Zhuo wrong, Sun Zhuo had succeeded.
That night, the Spurs and Lakers Game 2 series.
When he walked into the Spurs' home arena again and faced the Spurs, Sun Zhuo suddenly had a feeling of heroism, and now there is no longer a repeat challenge card for the game, and if you lose, you will lose, and the Spurs are so strong, and the Lakers have a very small chance of winning.
But isn't the NBA a where miracles happen? Just like no one expected the Rockets to lead the Mavericks 2-0 on the road, why can't the Lakers win two games in a row?
"Whether I win or not, I'm going to fight for these games, and maybe, this is the last time Kobe Bryant and I will play together in the playoffs......"
Sun Zhuo provoked Maddie in front of the media, which made Kobe very uncomfortable, coupled with Kobe's jealousy of Sun Zhuo before, Sun Zhuo felt that Kobe Bryant had become more and more estranged from him.
This season is barely getting along, and next season, when Sun Zhuo is full and his strength has become stronger, Sun Zhuo really doesn't know how to coexist with Kobe.
