On the night of the 3-3 draw in the finals, all the Spurs players breathed a sigh of relief and had an early good night's sleep, while Spurs assistant coaches Chadforshire and Popovich had already begun to think about Game 7 late at night.

Chad has admired Popovich so much that he doesn't dare to question it anymore, and the current situation is that not only will the Magic end the season, but it will also cause a series of internal changes, and even affect the entire Eastern Conference pattern, which is all caused by Popovich, who directed it all.

"In the seventh game, the Magic can only make a desperate bet, it's all up to Sun, we have been worried that he has hidden abilities that we don't know, and when it comes to the most critical battle of the finals, no matter what ability he has, he should use it in the next game. I'm more worried about his three-point shot, think about the seventh game between the Magic and the Heat last year, the Heat lost to the Magic's three-point shot, once Sun shoots crazy, Monta Ellis guys follow up again, and the situation may get out of control. Chad voiced his concerns.

Popovich listened carefully, nodded and said: "I've thought of this for a long time, non-stop outside shooting, especially three-point shooting, is basically his only hope of winning the championship, this guy always likes to try his luck, his luck has always been very good, this season he and Gilbert Arenas celebrated in advance of the stunner, you can see that he has always been very lucky, so in the next game I will block his outside shots, whether his three-point shooting is really accurate or blind, he can't score." ”

Chad smiled: "Without Dwight Howard on the Magic inside, even if Sun bursts into the restricted area, we can put all the defense on him, no matter who the backup center sent by the Magic is, it will not be too threatening." By the way, will Paul Millsap be a threat to us? Although he is still a rookie and a second-round pick, Sun's vision has always been good, and I have also noticed this guy, he can play high and low, and he can pass the ball......"

Popovich stretched out his hand and didn't let Chad continue: "I've watched this guy, he's going to be a good player in the future, and the Magic have picked up a treasure, but if you think Tim Duncan will lose to a first-year rookie and have an advantage in all aspects, then you look down on Duncan too much." ”

Chad smiled ashamedly: "That's true, I'm too worried, no one can hold down Tim Duncan, the next game will be Duncan's exhibition match!" ”

Hearing this, Popovich leaned back and pretended to be melancholy: "Oh? Is it? Tony Parker is going to be unhappy, as of now, he is the best player in the Finals, Tim Duncan snatched his trophy, will the two fight? ”

"Hahaha......" Chad knew that Popovich was ridiculing the Magic, in the Spurs, Popovich had the final say, and Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, no matter who won the FMVP, there would be no problems like the Magic.

……

The next day, the Magic training gym.

After Howard was injured, he didn't stay with his teammates, and he didn't come today, the current situation makes every player of the Magic very uneasy, in the past few games, they are too dependent on Howard, the kind of dependence is not inferior to Sun Zhuo, and there is a dominant big man on the inside, which will always make people feel more at ease.

Dacomilisic, who is two meters tall and three meters tall, is ready to start as a center, but it is not a good thing to start in the most critical game that the world is concerned about, if he plays well, he can naturally become famous all of a sudden, but Dakomilisic is very aware of his ability, he has a different style from Howard, and it is impossible to completely fill Howard.

And Paul Millsap is also ready to be called by Sun Zhuo, he has been praised by Sun Zhuo for his ability in this area before, although he is not tall enough, he has strength and speed, and his rebounding and blocking abilities are very good.

Coach Hill is already planning to choose between the two of them as the starting center in the final match.

Before he was completely decided, Sun Zhuo came to the training hall.

"Boss."

"You're here, how are you resting?"

The players and coaches looked at Sun Zhuo, in their eyes, Sun Zhuo was the savior, and if they wanted to win the seventh game and win the championship, they could only rely on Sun Zhuo.

Sun Zhuo stepped forward, said hello to everyone briefly, saw that everyone's morale was low, stood in front of them, and asked, "Do you remember what the name of the NBA promotional video for this season is?" ”

“here amazing happens。” Montaellis replied first, his gaze more determined than the others, "I had been looping your 'everyday' piano single for a long time last night. ”

"I listened too." Paul Millsap also suddenly stepped forward and looked at Sun Zhuo expectantly.

At this time, Coach Hill glanced at Paul Millsap and said to Sun Zhuo: "Dwight Howard is unfortunately injured and cannot play in the seventh game, this is an unavoidable fact, fortunately there are still you, the starting center in the next game, I want to ......"

"Me." Sun Zhuo suddenly spoke.

Everyone was silent, all stunned, all with puzzled looks, as if they didn't understand what Sun Zhuo meant, Coach Hill hurriedly said: "Oh, okay, it's up to you to choose, who will replace Howard between Paul Millsap and Daco Milicic." ”

Sun Zhuo looked at Coach Hill again and said again: "I said I, and I will replace Dwight Howard as the center for the next game." ”

This time, everyone was stunned, Sun Zhuo was going to play center? It's not a joke, is it?

Montaellis stared at Sun Zhuo with his mouth wide open, thinking inwardly: "There are some comments on the Internet that he is not as good as Dwight, and he is also completely blown out by Dwight in rebounding and blocking, could it be that he did this in order to compete with Dwight and prove that he can also play center?" ”

At present, the contradiction between Sun Zhuo and Howard is already a public matter, and after Howard was injured and absent, Sun Zhuo wanted to replace a small forward of two meters and three, everyone could not help but think, is Sun Zhuo competing with Howard?

Coach Hill was even more shocked, it has been two years since he coached Sun Zhuo, but he had never heard Sun Zhuo say that he wanted to play center, Coach Hill hurriedly asked: "Sun, have you ever played center before?" ”

"That's right." Sun Zhuo nodded.

"When?" Coach Hill asked.

Sun Zhuo thought for a while and said, "Elementary school, junior high school? ”

"......" Coach Hill and all the Magic players were speechless, and Coach Hill was praying in his heart that Sun Zhuo was joking, but Sun Zhuo's expression was so serious that even he, the coach, didn't dare to laugh.

Sun Zhuo saw that everyone was very uneasy, and said seriously: "I'm not joking with everyone, I'm serious, in the next game, I will be the center position, Monta Ellis, Jamil Nelson team double point guard, coach, what do you think?" ”

Coach Hill didn't deal with Sun Zhuo and Howard well, and the identity of the coach has already existed in name only, so how dare he say no, but he is still worried, and reminded Sun Zhuo: "Yes, but are you completely ready to play center?" The responsibilities of an interior player and an outside player on the court are completely different, and you have to fight physically from start to end with the tallest and most weighted interior player on the opposite side, and Tim Duncan is a lot taller than you after all, whether it is offensive or defensive, whether it is grabbing rebounds or other things, it can be quite difficult. ”

Coach Hill is afraid that Sun Zhuo is just impulsive, worried that he has been playing the small forward position for a long time, and he doesn't know what it is like to play center at all.

But how did they know that Sun Zhuo would play the center as long as he had time during this period of time, and he knew exactly how to play the center.

Sun Zhuo said: "Coach, don't worry, I won't become a loophole in their attack, since I choose to play center, I am naturally confident that I can play well, of course, everything is not absolute, if I don't play well, then change someone else." ”

Coach Hill nodded: "Don't be pressured, the seventh battle does need to come up with some novel tricks, and there may be unexpected gains." Daco Milicic, you're about the same height as Tim Duncan, so let's practice alone with Sun for a while. ”

"Okay." Dacomilisic nodded hurriedly, picked up the ball, and came to the half court alone with Sun Zhuo.

At this time, everyone also looked at the two of them, wanting to see if Sun Zhuo could make achievements in the inner line.

"Hey, what do you think? Why do I think Sun is a little impulsive this time? Jamil Nelson and Montaelis stood together, and Nelson touched Montaelis with his arm and whispered.

Monta Ellis coolly replied, "Isn't it good? Otherwise, how can you have a starter? ”

"You ...... guy," Nelson felt the urge to beat Montaellis.

On the court, Danny Granger fed a ball to Sun Zhuo, who faced Dacomilisic's defense in the low post.

"If you just look at the offense, Sun not only has no disadvantage when facing a big inside player, but has an advantage in speed, and he should use his speed to score this goal." Coach Hill thought to himself.

Everyone's thoughts were the same, but Sun Zhuo leaned towards Dacomilisic with his body and dribbled the ball one by one.

"It's the way the center plays!" Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they all speculated whether Sun Zhuo wanted to rely on shooting?

“oh！ What a strong force! Dacomilisic felt that Sun Zhuo's strength was getting stronger and stronger, it was originally just a practice match, and he was forced to use all his strength to resist, but he was still defeated!

"Dacomilisic was forced out of the way! Hook! Entered! ”

Sun Zhuo scored this goal in Howard's way.

However, there was no cheering at the scene, which surprised Sun Zhuo, damn, brother has just upgraded his strength, you are the first person to see the power of SS, why didn't you even applaud?

"Everyone has started training too, don't be idle." Coach Hill gave everyone a shout and walked away.

Everyone is the same, they all think that Dakomilisic is performing, Sun Zhuo is the boss of the team, and he wants to grab the position of center forward to play, if you Dakomilisic covers him a few times in the practice match and makes him useless, wouldn't Sun Zhuo be very faceless?

Even if Sun Zhuo's strength is indeed stronger than Dacomilisic, with his height, he will not be able to prevent it from becoming like this.

Sun Zhuo thought about it and didn't mind anymore, when it came to the real game, they would see their strength, but, even if the strength had reached the full level, Sun Zhuo knew that he couldn't do whatever he wanted on the inside, after all, the height gap was there, however, everything has two sides, although Sun Zhuo is shorter than Duncan, he is more flexible than Duncan, faster than Duncan, Sun Zhuo can even pull out and shoot three points, which Duncan can't do.

Although Howard was not on the scene, he was soon informed of the news.

"What? Sun is going to play center forward in the next game? Haha, hahahaha...... He's still so conceited, I'll go to the scene tomorrow, I want to see how Sun takes my place! How to deal with Tim Duncan! ”

……

The next day, Game 7 of the Finals, the Magic home.

"Overall Champion! Overall Winner! ”

"Magic wins!"

Even without Howard, the magic fans on the scene are still fanatical, after all, no one can give up at this time, besides, Sun Zhuo has always been the one who surprises them, as long as Sun Zhuo is there, everything is possible.

Although Kobe and Wade were in Orlando for the past two days, they didn't bother Sun Zhuo at all, they didn't meet or call, but they just conveyed their encouragement to Sun Zhuo through Kerry.

And on this day, LeBron James also arrived in Orlando, and now, he also appeared on the scene.

"Hello, Carey Mulligan, you're so pretty, I'm your fan." James took the initiative to woo Carry, and he will also stay in Orlando for summer training.

"Thank you, I'm also your fan, Sun and I appreciate you." Carey knows that the relationship between Sun Zhuo and James has always been weirdly unclear, and James is also a very influential superstar, and she doesn't dare to make enemies.

The Cavaliers have long been eliminated by Sun Zhuo, and James has long agreed to come to Orlando for special training, but it is also very intriguing to appear when the Magic will be eliminated today.

Wade also saw through it, and said to James: "Dude, the next time you come to us, can you say it in advance, do you know how expensive the position you are sitting in now is?" ”

"I'll give it back to you, brother, what do you think of this last one?" James looked at Wade and Kobe, it was not only Sun Zhuo who attracted James to Orlando, but also Kobe, James was in middle school, and Kobe Bryant's poster was posted at home.

Kobe Bryant smiled and didn't want to express his opinion, Wade also felt that James was a little knowingly asking, everyone knew that the Magic couldn't fight against the Spurs without Howard.

The game started quickly, and everyone was shocked when they saw the Magic's starting list, and then, when they saw that the person who went to the halfcourt to jump opposite Duncan was Sun Zhuo, everyone was even more confused.

"Sun ...... Playing center today? James looked at Kobe and Wade in surprise.
