Chapter 278 Chris Paul!
The 05-06 season is a season of heroes fighting, and there is no "League No. 1" that convinces everyone.

O'Neal has obviously lost his dominance. Kobe's personal ability is beyond doubt, but the team he leads is not good enough in the regular season or the playoffs.

In the previous life, Wade was considered by more people as the "League No.1" candidate, because Wade won the championship and the FMVP in 06.

Sun Zhuo's current personal ability has been proven several times. He played against the league's top star Tracy McGrady twice and scored 60 points both times. Some people even say that Sun Zhuo's personal strength has now surpassed Tracy McGrady.

In terms of personal ability alone, Sun Zhuo has been on par with first-line stars such as Kobe, Tracy McGrady, Iverson, Nowitzki, Wade, James, etc. Currently, he is only short of the "League No. 1" position. Only when the team wins, let people see his leadership ability, and get honors in the playoffs, Sun Zhuo is eligible to be called "League No.1".

After the game with the Rockets, the Magic will play back-to-back away games. They will come to Oklahoma City non-stop, where they will challenge the New Orleans Hornets. It was not interesting to play this team last year, but from this season At the beginning, every time we meet the Hornets, it will become very competitive because they have Chris Paul this season.

Playing the Hornets in Oklahoma City is still very interesting, but there is no way around it. New Orleans was hit by a Category 8 hurricane on August 29, causing serious damage in New Orleans. The size of the country is comparable, and it can be regarded as one of the costliest natural disasters in the history of the United States.

Speaking of the hurricane attack, the Chinese may be proud. On the second day after the hurricane attack, large-scale armed robbery and arson occurred in New Orleans. When tourists asked the police for help, the police’s answer was actually "Go to hell, everyone is doing their own thing now!"

On the third day, the police received an order to give up searching for survivors. After that, some people even shot at the rescue helicopter and convoy...

A hurricane that was tracked a week in advance and warned 48 hours in advance hit a large city that had entered a state of emergency two days ago, killing more than 1000 people.

If it were China, this would never happen.

At the game site, there were not many spectators. After all, the place was in Oklahoma City. This is not the home court of the Hornets, nor the home court of the Magic. Sun Zhuo soon saw JR Smith and Chris Paul on the court.

"Paul, among the top point guards in 17, one finally appeared."

Sun Zhuo became very happy when he saw Chris Paul, because for Sun Zhuo, he was more familiar with the players in the 2016-2017 season. After playing for two seasons, when Paul appeared, he had a wonderful feeling , He also hopes that Stephen Curry, Westbrook, Kyrie Irving, and Lillard will enter the league soon.

It's been less than four years since the enemy (Curry) arrived on the field...

Curry will definitely be Sun Zhuo's longest opponent. In order to compete with Curry on three-pointers, Sun Zhuo has practiced three-pointers every day for the past two seasons, and the training of ultra-long three-pointers is almost impossible. It didn't stop for a day, but obviously, in the past two years, Curry has not reached his peak state. Fortunately, he still has four years, so don't worry too much.

After the start of the game against the Hornets, Sun Zhuo did not show a trace of fatigue. Facing Paul and JR Smith, Sun Zhuo was very excited. As soon as he came up, he gave them a good experience of his speed and scored quickly.

In just 3 minutes, Sun Zhuo scored 15 points.

JR Smith, who was defending Sun Zhuo, had a bit of a breakdown. Sun Zhuo was too fast. Once he broke through, David West on the inside would have nothing to do with Sun Zhuo. Chris Paul was also a little surprised. This is since he entered the NBA. For the first time, he played against the top scorer in the league.

"Sun is the first top player I met in the NBA. He is really good." The 20-year-old Chris Paul looked at Sun Zhuo with a trace of admiration for Sun Zhuo. He is an All-Star player in the NBA, but Paul is only playing in the NBA now, and his status is somewhat different from that of Sun Zhuo.

"Chris, you have to be careful this time." JR Smith stepped forward and reminded rookie Chris Paul. Paul knew what JR Smith meant.

Last season, Sun Zhuo faced rookie Jiao Zuoren several times and was called "a rookie's nightmare". Many people said that Sun Zhuo likes to abuse rookies. Standard rookie", Sun Zhuo is afraid to abuse Paul, just like Sun Zhuo did to JR Smith last year.

However, Sun Zhuo did not intend to educate Paul. On the one hand, Paul has a low-key personality and is a good person. On the other hand, Paul is good at things different from Sun Zhuo. Sun Zhuo can’t teach him how to behave in Paul’s way. , Paul will grow into the league's No. [-] point guard in the future, and the top stars should be less offended, but if it is Curry today, Sun Zhuo will not think so.

"Huh, I won't let him succeed." Chris Paul snorted coldly. He had already regarded Sun Zhuo as an enemy, on the one hand because of his teammate JR Smith, and on the other hand because of LeBron James of the Cavaliers.

Chris Paul and James met in the summer of 2001. They were not in the same team at the time, and each was the leader of the team. After the fight, the two talented teenagers were attracted by each other's demeanor. We often chat together and think about the future...

"LeBron, we are only half a year apart, do you think we will enter the NBA together?"

"I don't know, I also want to enter the NBA with you, but it doesn't matter if I advance or you advance, I will wait for you, and you will wait for me in the NBA. If someone bullies you in the NBA, I will After entering the NBA, I will definitely teach him a lesson for you."

"Similarly, if LeBron enters the NBA and someone bullies you, I will help you deal with him when I enter the NBA."

"hey-hey."

……

Paul couldn't help thinking of a conversation four years ago...

"Sun, in the past two seasons, you have targeted my good brother LeBron James several times. Starting from this season, you will have another opponent!" Paul is a very emotional and loyal guy. Small, but not afraid of anyone.

Paul didn't worry about whether Sun Zhuo would target him this time, because he was already ready to challenge Sun Zhuo!

When Sun Zhuo scored quickly and seemed to be heading for 60 points again, Chris Paul, a rookie of the Hornets, took on the heavy responsibility of confronting Sun Zhuo.

Paul first dribbled the ball outside the three-point line, and suddenly made an accelerated breakthrough, passing the Magic's point guard Nelson in an instant. Suddenly accelerated the breakthrough again, after that, the 183CM body went directly to the basket, and hit the ball on the board before Howard shot to block the shot.

Subsequently, Paul steals the pass from the Magic, fast breaks against the three-person double-team defense, and still firmly controls the ball in his hands. Finally, he dribbles behind the back and gives David West a dunk.

In just a few minutes, Paul led the Hornets to a wave of counterattack climax, and his own score exceeded 10 points.

"I didn't expect this rookie to be so good." As a teammate, JR Smith was stunned, and looked at this small teammate with special regard.

Many people in the Magic team were also very surprised and began to remember this little man named Chris Paul wearing the No. 3 jersey. However, Sun Zhuo did not feel any surprise.

This is what Chris Paul should be like, Sun Zhuo already knew it.

In fact, in the scouting report on April 4 this year, others had a very correct and accurate judgment on Chris Paul: Dynamic, Explosive, Electric, Dominant.

Dynamic, explosive, lightning fast, dominant.

Except for the short height, there are no other shortcomings at all.

In fact, in addition to these, Paul has another advantage that is rarely mentioned, and that is strength.

Sun Zhuo remembered that he did not pay attention to Paul very early in his previous life. The first time he watched his game was when Paul participated in the Olympic Games against the Chinese team for the first time. As famous as Kobe James, he might be thinking of bullying Paul. With Paul holding the ball steadily and concentrating, he rushed forward to grab it. Facing such a brutal steal, Paul was not afraid. Hold the ball steadily and use your body to resist the opponent's steal.

The result was very surprising. Under the confrontation with Paul, the Chinese player staggered back two steps and tried to stand still several times, but finally fell to the ground.

At that time, Sun Zhuo didn't see that the little Paul had such a strong confrontation, which was indeed surprising.

Paul's ball control, steals, and passing are all at the top of the league. Sun Zhuo is very happy to see Paul appearing in the NBA. Another guy who makes him feel full of competitiveness has appeared in the league.

Sun Zhuo smiled and said the first words to Paul: "I'm very happy, you finally came to the NBA."

Paul was a little surprised: "You know me?"

Sun Zhuo nodded with a smile.

Paul said: "Since you know me, you should know that LeBron James and I are good friends."

"Of course, I know you have a good relationship. As far as I know, your performance in the previous few games was mediocre, but today's performance is so good, is it to help your brother challenge me?" Sun Zhuo realized Paul at this time The cause of the outbreak.

Paul replied coldly: "Anyway, if I don't challenge you, you won't let me go."

Sun Zhuo smiled. He didn't mean to be this year's rookie Jiao Zuoren. There are not many rookies this year that he particularly wants to educate. But since Paul started the war first, then Sun Zhuo will stay with him to the end.

In the next attack, Sun Zhuo also held the ball outside the three-point line, and suddenly launched a breakthrough with lightning speed. After breaking through the defense, he immediately encountered another defender. After breaking through and reaching the basket, a one-handed dunk ended the attack!
"This is the way I scored just now!" Paul immediately saw that Sun Zhuo was imitating his attack just now.

Although the offensive method is the same, but Paul's ball is a layup in the end, while Sun Zhuo is a domineering dunk.

"He wants to tell me that he can do the moves I can do, and he can do it better than me? Damn, it's bullying that I'm not tall enough, and I also want to dunk the other person!" Paul thought It's a bit sour. He dreams of growing a few centimeters taller, so that he can score more freely like his good brother James.

After two quarters of the competition, Sun Zhuo scored 27 points in the half, Paul scored 18 points and 4 assists in the half, his scoring in the half is already the highest in his NBA career, but the Hornets are behind .

During the half-time break, Paul also realized that he could no longer continue to divide with Sun Zhuobiao.

"I can't compare to him in terms of scoring. It's better to pass the ball more." Paul, who took up so many shots for the first time and entered the NBA for the first time, was also a little embarrassed, although his teammates didn't say anything.

In the second half, Paul began to show more of his passing talent.

A good passer must have a good passing vision. It’s not that he is not tall enough, so he doesn’t have a good passing vision. Paul passes the ball so well, but it’s not just watching on the spot. You can pass it after you see it. Opportunities are no longer opportunities. Paul often sees or predicts where the opportunities are before passing the ball.

The Hornets attacked once, and the Magic suddenly double-teamed Paul from outside the three-point line. Paul was forced to have no breakthrough space at all. He was not tall enough, and he could never see the position of his teammates next to him, but Paul did not panic. He knew What is the team's tactics? Know who is in what position. After being double-teamed, Paul quickly jumped up and passed the ball. The ball was not passed to the nearest teammate at close range, but was thrown directly to the basket.

As a result, David West ran to the basket for an alley-oop dunk.

The coaches of the Magic team and the Magic players were shocked that this little guy was so difficult to deal with!

"Paul is indeed good at passing the ball, but it is not impossible to stop his passing. Now it is his rookie period, and it is the first time we have played against each other. We should take this opportunity to block him a few more times." Sun Zhuo secretly said.

Not long after, Paul stole a ball from Nelson from behind. Paul took the ball from behind and hit the ball in front. Instead of chasing the ball, he turned around and ran to the front court. He knew the ball It will be taken by his teammates. Sure enough, after the teammates got the ball, they immediately passed it to Paul, and Sun Zhuo rushed forward immediately.

"Damn it, Sun is following up." The reason why Paul ran forward quickly after stealing the ball was to play an unguarded fast break. He didn't expect Sun Zhuo to react so fast and run so fast.

If Sun Zhuo doesn't keep up, Paul is going to play a two-handed dunk, at least let Sun Zhuo know that he can dunk.

Paul looked at his teammates behind him and found that JR Smith was also following him, so he pretended to attack and kept his eyes on the front.

"It must be a pass." Sun Zhuo knew Paul too well, and he also believed that Paul did not have the confidence to lay up under his nose.

Sun Zhuo also pretended to block Paul, and after Paul made a move, he immediately turned to defend JR Smith.

"What?" At the moment he let go, Paul found that Sun Zhuo didn't take off to block the shot, but ran towards JR Smith!

The moment JR Smith received the ball in the air, Sun Zhuo slapped him hard and blocked the ball!
