Chapter 326 Advance to the semi-finals!
At 11 o'clock in the evening, James, who lost the battle of Tianwangshan, was depressed, and before he fell asleep, he reviewed the past five games against the Nets.

"After these five games, Jason Kidd turned out to be the Nets' rebounding leader... The Nets have strengths, but we are not without a chance to win." James looked at the data of the five games, and he was very concerned about the current situation. is dissatisfaction.

Just then, James' cell phone rang.

"Who's calling so late? Sun? They're not asking me for travel expenses this summer, are they? Didn't they get the match point? They're here to mock me?" James saw that it was Sun Zhuo who called, and his mood changed. Even more depressed.

After a moment of hesitation, James still answered Sun Zhuo's call.

"LeBron, I know you just lost a crucial game today, so I came here to talk to you, you must be very upset, right?" Sun Zhuo was very concerned about James.

James quickly yawned pretendingly: "No, you think too much, I'm about to go to bed."

Sun Zhuo felt that James might feel that he was here to watch a joke, so he continued to talk about the game: "LeBron, I have been talking with D-Wade, this year is the year of the rise of our 03 generation, you, me, D-Wade and Carmelo Anthony have led the team into the playoffs. The protagonists of this league have gradually become us. Carmelo Anthony is already out. I don’t want to see you leave so early. I will be in the next game Just deal with the Bulls and meet D-Wade in the next round, no matter who wins between me and him, we all hope that the person we meet in the Eastern Conference Finals is you."

Sun Zhuo's words made James instantly moved. Sun Zhuo didn't come to show that they got the match point and ridicule James for losing. He came to encourage James, and what he said was very touching. Wade is regarded as the target and opponent. The three are in the Eastern Conference. Both of them have led the team to advance to the second round. Isn't it embarrassing to only have James in the first round?

"You and Dwyane watch it. I will definitely be able to reverse the Nets and advance to the next round! I also hope that you can solve the Bulls as soon as possible. I am waiting to see the big drama between you and D-Wade!" James said full of fighting spirit .

James is the only one who wants to see Sun Zhuo face off against Wade and O'Neal?Fans all over the world are waiting for their duel.

On May 5th, the Bulls' home court, the sixth game of the series between the Magic and the Bulls has begun!
The Bulls had a back-to-back fight today, and if they couldn’t win, they would be eliminated. All the players worked hard, but the Magic suppressed the rhythm throughout the game and didn’t give the Bulls a chance to tie again. In the end, Sun Zhuo scored 40 points, and the team With a near-miss victory over the Bulls, the Magic also officially advanced to the second round of the Eastern Conference semifinals with a total score of 4:2!

"Haha, we won! We've advanced!" Howard happily clapped his hands with his teammates like a child.

At this time, Sun Zhuo's face was not very happy, but rather melancholy.

"The victory over the Bulls is expected, but in the next round, we are facing the NBA championship team from the previous life!"

The Orlando Magic is about to meet the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference semifinals. All Magic players know that the Heat are the defending champions and a strong team, but they don't know that the Heat are also the championship this season.

In last year's Finals, Wade was already unstoppable. This year, he has become more mature and more threatening. Although O'Neal is older, he still has dominance at the basket.

Sun Zhuo is about to face the biggest challenge of the season!Although it is only the Eastern Conference semifinals, it may be more difficult than the Eastern Conference Finals or Finals!
After the results of the Magic Bulls, other teams also quickly ended the series. In the end, the teams that advanced to the Eastern Conference were: Pistons, Magic, Heat, and Cavaliers. After James lost the Tianwangshan battle, due to Sun Zhuo’s stimulation, Dragging the series to the tiebreaker, in Game [-], James was lucky to hold the victory in his own hands.

The Pistons will play against the Cavaliers, and the Heat will challenge the Magic.

Among the teams advancing to the Western Conference, Sun Zhuo was surprised by the Los Angeles Lakers led by Kobe Bryant. They even defeated the Phoenix Suns and advanced to the Western Conference Semifinals!

The Lakers and the Suns fought hard for seven games, and the last game went to overtime to decide the winner at the last second. The excitement was the best in the first round!Kobe made a game-winning shot in the last second of the last game, which allowed the Lakers to advance. At that moment, I believe all Lakers fans went crazy.

After the Suns were eliminated in the first round, this season's regular season MVP favorite Steve Nash was also unanimously ridiculed and ridiculed by netizens, saying that Nash should not be the MVP. How can there be an MVP who was eliminated in the first round?

The results of the regular season MVP have not yet come out, Sun Zhuo is also waiting, it is not only a great honor, but also a special training card that can improve ability!

The Lakers will face the Clippers in the same city in the semifinals. This is also a scene that has never appeared in NBA history. After the results appeared, many netizens posted and asked: "The Lakers and the Clippers are both in Los Angeles. How should we play in the playoffs?" ?”

Kobe's fans replied: "I have seven home games. Kobe has been called the MVP for seven consecutive home and away games. I ask who of you has done it?"

Sun Zhuo also laughed when he saw the post on the Internet, and replied "666", but was asked by netizens what he meant, Sun Zhuo didn't reply, and boldly imagined the duel between the Lakers and the Clippers. In the same arena, home and away games are nothing more than a different floor, but even when the Clippers are at home, in terms of popularity, the Clippers will be crushed by the Lakers fans. The Lakers have won so many championships and played so many times. With so many historical stars, the Clippers simply cannot compete with the Lakers in terms of influence.

"That netizen is right. The Lakers' seven games are all home games, but for the Clippers, these seven games are all away games. The Clippers are really bad. It's the first time I've seen a team with no home court advantage in the playoffs. Team. Alas, poor Mike Dunleavy, who made some money from me last summer, and this season was humiliated by me scoring 81 points again, and is going to suffer this embarrassment in the playoffs again. Give him a call , ask him if he still needs to manage money.”

Sun Zhuo was very sympathetic to what happened to the Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy. Such a thing has never happened in decades. It never happened in the previous life, but it happened to Dunleavy in this life.

"Coach Dunleavy, I'm Eric. I heard that you will play the Lakers in the next round. Alas, why is it so unlucky? You should think of this when you compete for the regular season rankings. Don't be too sad. If you are defeated, Xia Tian I can help you with some investment." Sun Zhuo kindly said.

Coach Dunleavy on the phone said angrily: "I don't want to make that quick money anymore! Since I made some money from you last summer, I haven't had a smooth season this season! You scored 81 points in a single game. Forget it, I met the Lakers in the playoffs, my God, what the hell did I do, now we have no home court advantage!"

Sun Zhuo heard Dunleavy hoarse for a long time before hanging up the phone. He was thinking again, if the Lakers can kill the Clippers, they will advance to the Western Conference Finals and play against the Mavericks.

"What are the Lakers' odds against the Mavericks?"

If the Lakers can overthrow the Mavericks, wouldn't it mean that the Lakers will enter the finals this season!

Sun Zhuo didn't continue to think about it. Now is not the time to think about who can enter the finals in the West, because the Magic is very likely to be eliminated in the next round!

……

Orlando, Magic training ground.

The Eastern Conference semifinals are coming soon, and the Magic has a better record, so the players don't have to travel too much, and the players can train at the training ground with peace of mind, waiting for the challenge from the Heat.

After advancing to the semifinals, the atmosphere of the team began to change slightly. After all, the opponent was the defending champion, and it was the first time for everyone to play in the playoffs. Facing such a strong opponent is still very important.

On the training ground, Dwight Howard is practicing one-on-one singles at the basket with the team. This time, Howard's opponent is the league's greatest center, Shaquille O'Neal. Although O'Neal is not at his peak, Howard is young after all. Strength can't shake the opponent, and he still values ​​this duel very much.

In the other half, outside players like Sun Zhuo, Monta Ellis, Ariza, Turkoglu, Nelson, Granger, and Stevenson were all practicing three-pointers.

This training content is also requested by Sun Zhuo. Against the Heat, the Magic must use more three-pointers. Few of the Heat can shoot three-pointers. Wade can’t shoot three-pointers, O’Neal can’t, Haslem can’t, Anthony Walker has to make a few shots in a game, but his shooting percentage is terrible, only 35%. Next season will be even worse, and it will drop to more than 20.00%. It didn't reach 40.00%. If you compare it with the Warriors and Rockets in 2017, the Heat are simply a team with no three-pointers at all.

Although the Heat are strong, they are only strong in the interior offense, while the Magic have many players with good three-pointers.

On the field, Turkoglu, Nelson and others were making continuous three-point shooting. Sun Zhuo watched from the sidelines, also wanting to be more sure of their three-point strength.

Turkoglu's three-pointer is very accurate, but the shot is a little slow, but with his height of [-] meters, it is difficult for the opponent to guard against.

"Turkoglu's three-point shooting percentage this season is 41%, which is already quite good. In the series against the Heat, he will be the outside shooter I trust the most."

After that, Nelson also made more than a dozen shots in a row. The shooting percentage was not as good as Turkoglu, but it was not bad.

"Nelson's three-point shooting percentage this season is 42.4%, which is higher than Koglu, but he takes fewer shots, and as a point guard, his first choice to receive the ball is to organize the offense instead of himself. Shooting, unless there's a really good chance, I'll give it to him."

Even though Nelson's shooting percentage is higher than Turkoglu this season, Turkoglu is still the first choice when Sun Zhuo points the ball.

Except for these two, there is no one in the starting lineup who can shoot three-pointers. Howard can't shoot. Like O'Neal, he struggles to make shots from the free throw line. Stevenson doesn't shoot three-pointers at all. If you really want to threaten and impact the Heat on the three-point shot, it is best to have four three-point shooters on the field. Like the Warriors in 17 years, five people on the field can shoot three-pointers, and everyone on the field is a soldier. , is what Sun Zhuo wants.

If Stevenson is replaced when necessary, who will replace it?Put Monta Ellis on the field, double point guard with Nelson, or let young Ariza or Granger play?

……

While the Magic are actively preparing for the game, the Miami Heat are also planning ways to deal with the Magic.

Heat coach Pat Riley gathered all the players together and briefly told everyone about the next round of the game.

Pat Riley said: "The Magic is a very young team, but everyone is very talented, so we have to be careful next. To deal with the Magic, we only need to do a good job of defense. And Turkoglu, Sun will definitely defend with great strength. Now I don't know how much trouble he will bring us in this series. Focus on defending his low post and corners. Don't let him play here. Two positions to catch the ball, if he wants to force a low single, double-team immediately. Throwing away these two people, the Magic is still very scarce in scoring."

"Hahaha." Hearing Riley's last sentence, O'Neill and Haslem couldn't help laughing. It can be seen that although Riley still has high standards for players, he still has high standards for the Magic. For the team, Shen Suanzi is still quite dismissive. He doesn't look down on Sun Zhuo who can score 81 points in a single game, but he looks down on several other players who have just entered the league and played in the playoffs for the first time.

After the coach finished speaking, Anthony Walker walked towards O'Neal and Wade, and asked with a smile: "Sun is your brother, how many games do you plan to solve in this round of the series?"

O'Neal said with a smile: "I'm afraid that if he sweeps four games, he will settle accounts with me during the offseason. Let's play five games."

Wade replied: "I want to play a few more games with him. Playing one game with him is more effective than ten days of training."

Both O'Neal and Wade are confident of winning this round of the series.

TN.T, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith are also discussing this topic. Who is more dominant, the Heat or the Magic?

Kenny Smith said: "There is no doubt that it is the Miami Heat. They are the defending champions and have already won a championship. The Magic, except for Sun, have only entered the playoffs for the first time. The Magic will be severely punished. Yes, Shaquille O’Neal is still at his peak, and Dwyane Wade proved himself in last year’s finals. No one in the Magic can guard them. Of course, no one in the Heat can guard Sun, but Sun is still Not grown enough to compete with such a mature team, Sun's performance will determine the outcome of this round of the series, Charles, what do you think?"

Charles Barkley's mouth seemed to be stuck, and it was difficult to speak. Kenny Smith smiled and said, "Is it because it has something to do with Sun, so you dare not say it? You can talk about other parts."

Barkley thought for a while, and then said something to express his opinion: "I am extremely optimistic about Dwight Howard!"

"So you think the Magic will make it to the Eastern Conference Finals?"

"No, I'm also on the Heat's side."
