Chapter 411: A Difficult Second Battle!
Popovich scratched his messy hair and said impatiently: "Chad, I forgive you for not knowing my rules when you just joined the Spurs this year, and I remind you again, outside of working hours, don't come to disturb me, especially when I want to take a break and get ready to talk to my daughter!" ”
Popovich has always been very dignified in the team, and if it weren't for someone like Chad, who was a little stunned, he might not dare to say this to the manager, Chad said: "Coach Popovich, we should get a win away from home, we can do it." ”
Chad is not satisfied with the current situation, the young Howard was blown to the sky, and the great interior Tim Duncan, who is in the best condition of his peak, was belittled and ridiculed, Chad held for Duncan, and he thought that Howard would play better and better in this situation, which was not good for the Spurs.
Popovich saw that Chad looked so serious and knew that the other party was very dutiful, so he turned his anger into laughter, patted Chad on the shoulder, asked him to sit down, and had a good chat with him: "Dwight Howard, this kid has a few taels, you and me, Tim Duncan, we all know, what's wrong with letting him be blown to the sky?" The most important thing is Sun, who is the key to the outcome of the series. Chard, our opponents are very young and very arrogant, and that's something we can take advantage of, and in this series, it may not be us who will beat them, but themselves. ”
From Popovich's mysterious smile, Chad knew that Popovich must be plotting something.
……
In 1993, the Magic played against the Nets.
At this moment, Sun Zhuo is challenging O'Neal's second pinnacle match.
"Scott, here, pass it over!"
At this time, the Magic team was on a fast break, and O'Neal, controlled by Sun Zhuo, shouted at the team's point guard Scott Skels while running fast, yes, it was the Scott Skels who served as the coach of the Bulls in 2007, at this time, his hair was still quite lush, not as bald.
Skals was a little hesitant, because "O'Neal" was still far from the basket, and if he passed it on now, with his huge body, could he safely transport it to the basket?
Because Sun Zhuo has always played as a small forward, he is used to dribbling by himself, and he also knows that O'Neal's speed is not bad now, and if he controls the ball carefully, he can completely attack quickly with the ball by himself, so he can't wait to ask his teammates for the ball.
"Give it to me!" A dashing Magic No. 1 suddenly passed in front of Skyles, and it was none other than Magic's rising star at the time, "Penny" Hardaway!
Skyles quickly passed the ball to Hardaway, Hardaway quickly broke through the defense and hit the basket, pretending to attack himself, and then passed to Sun Zhuo who followed behind, Sun Zhuo jumped domineeringly, and dunked with both hands!
The scene was full of joy.
"Anfernee Hardaway is a very strong rookie, and when he was sparring with the Dream Team, he beat the Dream Team once! The combination of him and Shaquille O'Neal must be worth looking forward to! ”
"Haha, it looks like the Orlando Magic are not far from the championship!"
On the field, rookie Hardaway also took the initiative to high-five Sun Zhuo, Sun Zhuo looked at this man who was as chic and elegant as Maddie, and secretly said in his heart: "Hardaway, do you know that I am the strongest magic No. 1 ......"
Horror triple doubles, it's not so easy to obtain, especially the block, Sun Zhuo only has 2 blocks in one section, and I really don't know how to do 15 blocks.
Sun Zhuo has always played as a small forward, and in the position of center, there are still unaccustomed places, such as "O'Neal's strong dunk", Sun Zhuo is always a little timid when facing a tall center, feeling that the opponent's height is too high, and he is worried that he will be capped when he jumps, and the results are often not ideal.
"It seems that it will take a few more fights to slowly get used to the fact that I am a two-meter-one-six giant."
The challenge failed, and Sun Zhuo could only find another time to challenge.
……
Soon, it was time for the second game of the finals.
Although the Magic now leads 1-0, it is thanks to a lucky basket from Howard, and the Spurs' strength impressed all Magic fans in the last game, and this time, the Spurs may be even more difficult to deal with.
In the audience, the VIP audience in the VIP Kobe and Wade were discussing in detail the probability of winning and losing this game, and Kerry sat next to them and listened carefully, although Kerry didn't know much about basketball, but Kerry knew what Kobe and Wade didn't know.
"I don't know if what Sun said is true, it won't be to comfort me, right?" Carrey thought to himself.
In the past two days, Kerry has been watching reports related to the NBA Finals, some ESPN columnists, and the analysis of the Finals by several celebrities, they all feel that the Magic is not optimistic in the Finals, although they lead 1:0, but they won by lucky rebounds at the last moment, the key is that Sun Zhuo's personal offense is suppressed, and the Magic cannot win the Spurs by relying only on Howard.
Kerry knew that Sun Zhuo had been worried about the Spurs for a long time, so he talked to Sun Zhuo about some things in this regard, and last night, Sun Zhuo told Kerry that the Spurs did not limit him at all, and he could completely shoot the Spurs by shooting, but at the beginning of the series, he deliberately showed weakness, and he would kill the opponent by surprise after a few games.
Kerry looked at Sun Zhuo on the field stupidly, and a warmth rose in his heart, he believed that his man would cope with all the situations.
The game officially began, and the lineups of the two sides were unchanged from the previous game, and similarly, the defense against Sun Zhuo was no change.
"You can't sit still in this game, you have to make a decisive move first, and if you feel good, you may be able to bluff the other party." Sun Zhuo knew that the opponent's defense against him was still an anti-burst shot, so he threw it.
Break through Bowen strongly, and after being blocked, take a step back and shoot a backward jumper!
"Oh, he voted! This action ...... "Wade and Sun Zhuo have such a close relationship, I have long guessed that Sun Zhuo will definitely have more shots in this game than in the previous game, but I didn't expect Sun Zhuo's backward jump shot posture to be a little similar to Kobe Bryant."
Kobe Bryant was also surprised when he saw it, and he immediately thought of what Sun Zhuo had asked him to teach him shooting posture.
Sun Zhuo's backward jumper has actually won the league for a long time, but the previous shots were all back baskets, and the body leaned against the opponent, like this kind of frontal basket, and did not have any physical contact with the opponent, everyone still rarely sees.
Swish!
Sun Zhuo hit the first shot!
"This ......" Spurs bench, assistant coach Chad looked at coach Popovich with some concern.
Popovich looked at the field calmly, waved his hand, and said one word: "Illusion." ”
Popovich didn't believe this was Sun Zhuo's routine.
Even Wade became curious, and asked Kobe Bryant beside him, "Did you teach him anything before I came?" His previous step-back jumper was not like this, this ball, it looks like it's imitating you, especially the moment of the shot, it's too similar. ”
Sun Zhuo challenged Kobe Bryant's pinnacle game before, and naturally remembered Kobe's backward jumper, so this time he involuntarily used Kobe's movements, anyway, with his own shooting posture, the shooting rate would not be much better.
Kobe Bryant smiled: "He did ask me to teach him my shooting moves, but, to be honest, he shot with my moves, and the shooting percentage was really a bit miserable." ”
"Oh?" Wade was surprised, and suddenly understood that Sun Zhuo's shot was actually betting on luck, and if he was right, he could scare the Spurs.
As Sun Zhuo's good brother, Wade whispered to Kobe: "Do you want to help Sun?" ”
"How can I help?" Bryant didn't know what Wade was talking about.
Wade said: "The next time Sun scores another shot with your shot, we will interact with him off the court and make Popovich mistakenly think that he has your real pass." ”
Kobe Bryant smiled helplessly, he had never done such a child's trick himself, but since Wade had spoken, he would accompany him.
After Kobe agreed, Wade happily glanced at Sun Zhuo on the field, Sun Zhuo didn't understand at first, and then saw Wade make gestures carefully before he understood.
"Haha, D-ADE, is this going to let me shoot one more with Kobe's moves? I understood what he was trying to do. Sun Zhuo naturally understood what Wade meant, because Wade was not such a person originally, and such actions were all influenced by Sun Zhuo, and confusing the opponent was completely "Sun Zhuo's style" behavior.
Soon, it was the turn of the Magic to attack.
"God forbid, let me get another one."
Sun Zhuo prayed, and immediately hit another iconic Kobe-style shot!
"How can it be so similar?" Even Popovich on the sidelines couldn't help but panic, Sun Zhuo's actions were like Kobe Bryant's, from dribbling to shooting, it was too similar.
At this point, among the tens of thousands of people at the scene, I am afraid that only Kobe, an outsider, knows that Sun Zhuo's imitation of Kobe's actions was very demanding, so that Kobe Bryant guided him for a long time, and Sun Zhuo was very concerned about every detail.
Bang dang.
After Sun Zhuo made a shot, the basketball bounced on the basket a few times, but it finally fell into the net!
"Haha." Sun Zhuo was overjoyed, his luck was really good today!
And Kobe Bryant was so shocked that he grinned, but he was immediately reminded by Wade on the thigh, and Kobe Bryant immediately changed his expression from surprise to relief, and got up and gave Sun Zhuo a thumbs up.
Sun Zhuo, who was on the field, also immediately returned a "fist" action to Kobe.
This interaction made the fans at the scene can't help but reverie.
"Sun's two shots are similar to Kobe, Kobe has been in Orlando for so long, has he been teaching him to shoot backwards?"
"Haha, can Sun's face frame get Kobe's true biography? In fact, if you want to rely on the back frame, Kobe Bryant has to learn from Sun! I think the two of them should learn from each other, and Kobe Bryant should have also practiced his back-frame shooting. ”
For a while, the atmosphere on the court became mysterious, and Popovich couldn't help but be a little upset, and Chad leaned over again and said: "If Sun can do Kobe's level in the middle distance, then ......."
"Are you crazy? How many days have the Lakers been eliminated? Can he learn Kobe's ability for more than ten years in such a short period of time? "Popovich is still tough, sticking to his own approach, and continuing to shoot against sudden shots!
Next, Sun Zhuo imitated Kobe Bryant again, failed, and after that, he didn't even imitate at all.
Popovich glanced coldly at the direction of Wade Kobe: "A group of little guys, they still want to confuse me, go and call Pat Riley and Phil Jackson, you have this hope." ”
After Sun Zhuo's disguise was recognized, the Spurs were even more overwhelmed, the French sports car Tony Parker drilled around the court, no one could stop him, Monta Ellis's defense was still too weak, and Parker even dared to shoot three points in front of Ellis.
Soon, after Ginobili came on the court, he aimed at Howard, who was still in good shape, although the coach did not tell that this game should be aimed at Howard, but Ginobili had his own ideas, he just wanted to teach Howard to be a man and rub his sharpness.
Soon after he came on the court, Ginobili easily made Howard a foul, and from Ginobili's sharp eyes, Sun Zhuo could see that a foul could not satisfy Ginobili's ambition at all.
So, Sun Zhuo reminded Howard: "Dwight, be careful of Manuginobili, don't be deceived by him again." ”
"I see, I almost gave away a good hat just now." Howard didn't care, he had already given away two hats in the first quarter, and if he hadn't been whistled for a foul, it would have been the third.
Ginobili still looks cool, looking no different from his usual taciturn self, but now, his mood is very different from before.
"Dwight Howard, the league's No. 1 interior player? After three years in the league, there has been no improvement in technical shooting, why should you? How did this series come to be like this, I'd rather see Sun unstoppable and have a good time with him! ”
Popovich completely limited Sun Zhuo's athletic talent, and Ginobili would have liked to see Sun Zhuo even more.
"Oops, I didn't go in again, hurry back to defense!"
The Magic offense didn't work, this time it was a quick hit, Howard didn't get to the basket at all, the Magic shot, and as a result, Ginobili got the rebound, rushed forward crazily, and happened to meet Howard in the midfield position, a guard, there are not many opportunities to face the center in the midfield position, and Ginobili instantly wanted to do something.
"Dwight!" Sun Zhuo yelled at Howard to remind.
Howard realized that Ginobili rushed towards him, Howard couldn't hide, Ginobili rushed forward, it was a Hollywood actor's performance, and the referee immediately blew the whistle and blew Howard for another foul.
"What? I didn't touch him at all! He poured it himself! Howard was aggrieved for a while, and reasoned with the referee.
"Howard, this guy...... He can't be blamed either, Ginobili is too insidious to prevent. Sun Zhuo sighed with emotion, and hurriedly stepped forward to push Howard aside.
"Stop yelling, Dwight, do you want to be fouled again?" Sun Zhuo pushed Howard away and comforted Howard: "Don't care, calm down, don't foul again, you are very important to us, you know?" ”
Sun Zhuo's sincere eyes made Howard quiet, and he felt from Sun Zhuo's eyes that he was important to Sun Zhuo and to the whole team, and that feeling was like the earth couldn't turn without him.
"Sun needs me, everyone needs me, okay." Howard accepted this ending peacefully, and also forced himself to come to his senses, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of pride in his heart.
