Chapter Seventy-Nine: Outwitting Carter
Vince Carter is under pressure in the face of Kobe Bryant and Sun Zhuo's double challenge, in fact, Sun Zhuo is the same, his dunk strength is not as strong as everyone thinks, except for the double turn dunk, other dunk actions are very mediocre, not as good as Carter at all, and he can't do the so-called revenge on Carter.
At the Staples Center, the Lakers hosted the Raptors, and Vince Carter and Sun Zhuo, who came to the arena, looked the same solemn, obviously feeling very stressed.
Carter's own strength is excellent, but he thinks today's game is more difficult, but when he really gets on the court, he is still not afraid of anyone.
Sun Zhuo is different, his dunking ability has not yet reached the highest level, and now the rating is not even A+, and the opponent he is going to challenge tonight, the strongest dunk general in history, Vince Carter's dunk rating is estimated to be SS.
"What should I do? The big words are out, today I want Carter to see how good I dunk, and I want to do what Carter did to me in the last game, but I can't compare to him except for double turn dunks, other dunks are not as good as him, too complicated movements, whether the dunk can be successful or not is not certain. ”
Sun Zhuo was very worried, he casually looked at the fans in the audience in the distance, and found that everyone was looking at him with expectant eyes, and some people even shouted at Sun Zhuo, asking Sun Zhuo to turn this into a dunk contest, the fans forced Sun Zhuo so much that he had to respond with a dunk, no wonder Sun Zhuo was reckless in front of the media.
There are pros and cons to everything, Sun Zhuo showed a ability far above his own dunk strength at a low level, and he must also bear all the consequences caused by this, including the expectations of fans.
Kobe Bryant found that the fans were particularly enthusiastic and motivated tonight, and he was in a good mental state, much better than when he was heartbroken by the case at the beginning of the season, although Phil and Shaq did not comfort or support Kobe, but Sun Zhuo did.
As Sun Zhuo becomes more and more famous and shows more and more the strength of a superstar, his comfort has become more and more weighty here in Kobe.
In addition, Sun Zhuo is a high-profile person, he has attracted media attention since the beginning of the season for provoking LeBron James, and as Sun Zhuo gradually becomes an AMVP, his high-profile behavior will protect Kobe Bryant, so Kobe does not have to face the media all the time to answer those bad questions.
Therefore, sometimes, Kobe Bryant is very grateful to Sun Zhuo.
"I guess you took out that little notebook of yours last night." Kobe walked up to Sun Zhuo with a smile, and on the last plane from Toronto to Los Angeles, Kobe Bryant saw Sun Zhuo write down Carter's "crime" in a small notebook.
Sun Zhuo didn't want to show panic and unconfidence in Vince Carter in front of others, even if this person was his teammate, so he put away his nervous expression and smiled confidently: "After tonight, I can tear that page off." ”
"Haha." Seeing that Sun Zhuo was so confident in revenge Carter, Kobe Bryant also laughed, "I know what you will do tonight, but, rookie, the Lakers are not your team yet, Shaq may allow you to dunk a whole game, but I will not give you all the limelight, against Vince, I am the main force, the last time I watched Vince Carter dunk 8 times, you are not the only one." ”
Many people are emphasizing the showdown between Carter and Sun Zhuo, but they have forgotten that the last time Kobe Bryant was on the court, and most of the time Kobe personally defended Carter, who was dunked 8 times by Carter, Kobe, who is already a superstar, shouldn't he feel more ashamed than Sun Zhuo?
The media interpreted Carter's actions at that time to be a coke for rookie Sun Zhuo, but Kobe Bryant has always regarded Carter as an opponent, and if it wasn't Kobe that day, Carter might not have such a high interest.
Therefore, Kobe Bryant told Sun Zhuo, you can take revenge on Carter, and I will help you, but don't think about being the protagonist for the whole game, I will also participate in the revenge of Carter!
When Sun Zhuo heard Kobe's tone, he was overjoyed, and he was worried that he couldn't single out Carter, but a super helper came! With Kobe's help, then as long as he occasionally uses a double-turn dunk, he can perfectly take revenge on Carter.
Sun Zhuo didn't show this joy, but frowned and said, "Kobe, I know this is your team, but you just let me let go of the dunk this time, can you give me an auxiliary pass?" ”
Bryant laughed, "What are you kidding? Let me just pass you the ball the whole game? The two of us have to do it together! ”
Sun Zhuo's face was embarrassed, and it took a few seconds before he spoke: "Okay, then let's divide the revenge action equally." ”
"Big windmill dunk, you do it." Sun Zhuo said.
"No problem." Kobe Bryant agreed.
"360-degree dunk in the air, you do it." The actions that Sun Zhuo said were all done by Carter last time.
"Okay, I like this action." Kobe Bryant was also very happy to be assigned to this action.
"Flyer dunk, you do it."
"Tomahawk split, you do it."
“……”
Sun Zhuo divided Kobe Bryant into six or seven in a row!
Kobe Bryant was stunned for a moment, originally thought that Sun Zhuo would not want to participate in himself, but he didn't expect ......
"And what do you do?" Kobe Bryant thinks that Sun Zhuo is so divided, he doesn't seem to have any action to do, right?
Sun Zhuo said indifferently: "Anyway, I just have to make a move, okay, let's get revenge on Vince Carter!" Let him know the cost of offending us! ”
"Uh......" Kobe Bryant Why does he feel that after the division of work, Sun Zhuo is happier than before? Shouldn't it be frustrating? What a hard teammate to figure out.
In the first minute after the game started, Vince Carter felt the urgency of revenge of the giant Lakers, Carter hung a ball to Chris Bosh, which was cut off by O'Neal from behind, and after O'Neal got the ball, he quickly looked at Sun Zhuo, and then threw it hard.
"Run!"
Carterton felt bad, and regretted that he was too arrogant at home in Toronto last time, after all, the opponent was the Purple and Gold Lakers, the strongest team in the league today, and now that they are on their home court, they are bound to respond.
"No, I can't let this rookie show off a dunk in front of me." Vince Carter sprinted to Sun Zhuo with all his might.
However, Sun Zhuo received O'Neal's pass, but he was not as excited as everyone imagined, the front was indeed empty, it was an excellent time to dunk and show his actions, but Sun Zhuo couldn't show his actions now, if he just did an ordinary dunk, he would definitely disappoint the fans at the scene.
Sun Zhuo glanced at Kobe's position, he was still far behind him, and this attack seemed to be of no help.
Although Kobe didn't follow as fast as he could, Carter did.
"If you fail to dunk with defensive interference, it's forgivable, right?" Sun Zhuo was delighted with Carter's pursuit.
Both of them were very fast, Sun Zhuo came to the basket, jumped with both feet, and was just about to raise his arm to make a move, but was directly fouled by Carter behind him, causing Sun Zhuo to not even make a dunk action.
"You didn't want to block me, but stopped me with a foul?" Sun Zhuo is overjoyed, this is a good signal, Vince Carter committed a foul directly, instead of trying to block, but also recognized Sun Zhuo's bounce power, Carter has carefully looked at the bounce height after Sun Zhuo turned around and dunked, which is almost the same as Carter, in Carter's heart, the bounce power of the two is already a level, although on the surface he will not admit it.
Therefore, Carter directly fouled and did not give Sun Zhuo a chance to make a move.
But in fact, when Sun Zhuo did a dunk action other than double turning, Carter could completely cover Sun Zhuo.
After being forcibly fouled, Sun Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, but looked at Carter with an unwilling face: "You ruined my first big windmill dunk in the NBA!" ”
