Through the discovery of this three-point "bug" in the bottom corner, Sun Zhuo realized the importance of finding problems from the perspective of game designers, so he decided to communicate more with NBA game designers, or not only NBA game designers, I believe it will be of great help to him to discover new benefits.

The first round of the playoffs ended quickly, except for the Heat and the Hornets who fought seven games, and the Heat advanced with difficulty, all the other teams that advanced were to solve their opponents within five games, among them, the Spurs, Pacers, and Nets won the opponent in a sweeping way.

The teams that advanced to the second round of the Eastern and Western semifinals were: Lakers, Spurs, Kings, Timberwolves, Pacers, Heat, Pistons, and Nets.

Among them, the Pacers will meet the Heat, the Pistons and the Nets in the second round, the Timberwolves and the Kings will play, and the Lakers will meet the most powerful opponent in the West early in the semifinals, and the enemy who eliminated the Lakers last year, the Spurs!

The Spurs swept Pau Gasol and James Posey's Grizzlies in the first round, except for the third game that was a narrow victory, the remaining three games were all unsuspenseful victories, and what was even more terrifying was that none of the Grizzlies they defended in four games could score more than 20 points in a single game.

The 22-year-old French sports car Tony Parker is running fast, the 28-year-old Tim Duncan is at the peak of his career, and the guy who was able to get the FMVP in 1999 can imagine how terrible his ability and self-confidence can be when he reaches the prime age of a player.

Ginobili's performance in the first round was not impressive, perhaps because the opponent was too weak to play without Ginobili, but everyone knows what Ginobili can bring to the Spurs and the opponent.

Also, Bruce Bowen, known as the dirtiest defensive player of all time, no one would want to meet him.

Before this round of the series started, Ron Artest on the eastern side had already snickered, he guessed that the Lakers were about to run into trouble, and it was the biggest trouble in the playoffs this year, so he was more optimistic about Sun Zhuo's performance, maybe the Rockets relaxed their vigilance against Sun Zhuo at the end of the series, let him brush up some points, and made some three-pointers, but the Spurs won't, Popovich will not allow the slightest mistake even if he is leading by a large score.

"Sun is definitely planted in this series, not only him, but Kobe, Shaq, and Karl Malone, this round of the series will not be good." Artest is very gloating, he has always thought that they can advance in the East, and the opponent in the Finals is either the Spurs or the Lakers, and the two sides are too good for the Pacers after this round of attrition.

The Spurs will be the first to sit at home to face the arrival of the Lakers, Popovich also attaches great importance to this series, the series between the Lakers and the Rockets, Popovich also watched, the Rockets originally had the opportunity to drag the series to the sixth game, but due to Sun Zhuo's sudden play, the hope of the Rockets was cut off.

As the team was working out, Popovich looked at Assistant Coach Will and asked, "What do you think of the Lakers' rookie three-point shooting in Game 5?" Do you think it's luck, or has he always had that kind of long-range prowess? ”

In fact, when Popovich asked this question, he already had the answer in his heart, Will is the Spurs' chief strength and conditioning coach, and at the same time provides medical care, if there is an injury to a player on the court, he and his assistants will help deal with it.

Will felt that this was not easy to judge, because Sun Zhuo had concealed his strength before, Will thought about it and said: "Maybe it's luck, he's so young, the three-point shot shouldn't be ready yet, but in the first round of the series, his shooting is indeed better than one game, he has completed the improvement and growth in the series with the Rockets, and we can't let him continue in the series with us." ”

Popovich laughed: "Of course, I'm not Van Gundy, so I love to help improve the newcomers, and after the series with me, the confidence of the newcomers will only be hit, not improved." In the first series, Sun's ball control and turnovers were completely exposed, and he was broken five times in the first game alone, and he will only be broken more in our series. ”

Speaking of which, Popovich called Bowen, Ginobili, Tony Parker and Turkoglou and said: "The Lakers' No. 24 rookie Sun, who performed well in the first round series, will play more and more confidently in our series, but his problems still exist, so you have to be ready to cut his ball at all times, once he dribbles through, or appears in the position under the basket, you must cut the ball off as soon as possible, don't let him jump, I have a hunch that his mistakes will be a big key to our victory over the Lakers." ”

Bowen and the others all remembered it, and they had already treated Sun Zhuo as a fish on the chopping board, and they couldn't wait to eat him.

Sun Zhuo would definitely be angry if he knew that he was so weak in the eyes of his opponent.

On the day of May 2nd, the Lakers team has come to San Antonio, Texas, this time the opponent is very special, it is the fierce rival that ended the Lakers' three consecutive championships, so everyone attaches great importance to this round of the series, and even in the eyes of many people, all opponents in the playoffs, the Spurs are the most difficult to play, as long as they win the Spurs, then there is no problem with the championship.

Sun Zhuo's mentality is slightly more optimistic than them, after all, he knows that the Lakers in his previous life ended up with the Spurs 4:2, and this year the Lakers have him again, and the strength will only be stronger, so he is not a pit in Popovich's eyes that will give assists to opponents.

Although he is sure of winning, Sun Zhuo must fight for himself, O'Neal and Kobe are too strong, and it is not a good thing for Sun Zhuo, it is easy to be said by people like Artest that he lies down to win, and he averages less than 10 points per game against the Rockets, it is too embarrassing to be a starter, and he definitely has to average more than 10 points per game in this round of the series.

Therefore, in the past two days, Sun Zhuo has been conducting regular training with his teammates, and in the morning and evening, Sun Zhuo will also practice shooting two points near the three-point shot, which is actually not easy to throw into the basketball in this position, because in terms of position alone, it can be called the category of long-range shooting, but it is only a two-point shot.

However, after two days of training, Sun Zhuo's two-point shooting rate near the left and right corners has been greatly improved, and Sun Zhuo still feels very satisfied.

In the evening, the first game of the semifinals between the Lakers and the Spurs started on time at the AT&T arena.

As soon as you enter the stadium, you can feel the frenzy of the Spurs fans on the spot, because the Spurs defeated the Lakers last year, and they have the confidence to continue to destroy the Lakers team with a gorgeous lineup.

“BEAT LA！ This year, they could have avoided us in the second round, but they seemed to be deliberately trying to fight us. They obviously lost to us last year, I don't know where they have the confidence to challenge us! Just because he recruited two veterans who couldn't run? ”

"That's right, I get angry when I see the Lakers, especially the old man Phil Jackson, who has put on a posture from a very early time that the Spurs won last year because of injuries, and even the contradictions between Kobe Bryant and Shaq can't be handled well, the two cores of the team are like this, and there is a rookie pit of Sun in the starter, and they will definitely lose this round of the series!"

The Spurs and the Lakers have a deep grudge, and this round of the series must be more intense, Sun Zhuo gradually felt the disdain in everyone's eyes when they looked at him, and some fans even shouted that Sun Zhuo was a lying winner, and let Sun Zhuo make a few more mistakes to let the Spurs score.

This made Sun Zhuo very uncomfortable to listen to.

I have matched a good teammate with my ability, why do I say that I lie down to win?

Why do you blame me for making a mistake when someone breaks the ball from my hand based on my ability?

Excessively!
