Chapter 335 It Must Be Me, Not You!
James, who made it to the playoffs for the first time, even scored the Pistons 3:1 in the series, getting the match point one step earlier than the Pistons!
Even without Larry Brown, the Pistons are still in the championship lineup the year before last!Facing the Pistons who were able to compete with the Lakers' "Big Five" back then, it is really surprising that the 22-year-old James can do this!
Sun Zhuo couldn't help thinking of the words he just sent to Popovich. Life is really unpredictable. Not long ago, the Cavaliers were still worried about whether they could pass the first round.

"I heard that Ben Wallace has terminated the new contract negotiations with the Pistons, and hinted to the team that he will leave the team. He is the best defensive player in the league. There should be some internal problems in the Detroit Pistons team. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be beaten like this by LeBron James’ Cavaliers.” Dwight Howard watched the game with Sun Zhuo, and seeing Sun Zhuo’s surprised appearance, he also expressed his opinion.

Sun Zhuo also retracted his surprise, and slowly said: "The Detroit Pistons do have problems internally. At the end of the regular season, I already felt that they did not have the sharp spirit they had at the beginning of the season, but this cannot be denied. Being able to get a 40+ triple-double against the Pistons is not something any star can do. This guy really wants to make it to the Eastern Conference Finals, but I don’t know who he wants to play against. Me, or D-WADE?"

Sun Zhuo has long felt that there are some signs of disorder in the Pistons. As a reborn person, he also knows that Ben Wallace will not renew his contract with the Pistons, but switched to the Chicago Bulls, because according to the league's salary cap system, the Pistons The team can provide Wallace with a four-year $4 million contract at most. As the best defensive player in the league, Wallace is naturally unwilling to only take these.

In the previous life, the bull provided 4 million US dollars for 6000 years, a full 1000 million US dollars more, which is a huge temptation for everyone.

"Ben Wallace's family is poor, his mother has more than a dozen children, and he didn't get a high salary before. He chose to leave the Pistons. There is nothing to say." Sun Zhuo said to himself.

"You also think that Ben Wallace will leave? That's right, otherwise he wouldn't be playing like this at such a critical time in the playoffs. I just don't know where he will go. It's best to go to the West." Howard said lightly.

"Are you afraid of meeting him in the playoffs?" Sun Zhuoxiao asked.

Howard smirked: "Why would I be afraid of him? I'm the one who won even against Shaq! So far, haha."

Sun Zhuo smiled and said: "No matter which team he goes to, I guess he won't get DPOY again. In the future, you will take over as the best defensive player in the league. Start working hard next season."

Sun Zhuo remembers that although Daben got a high salary and went to the Bulls, he has never had the glory of the past since then. He has never won the best defensive player, nor has he been selected as an All-Star. The Pistons have survived for two years and were forced to rebuild. That was a lose-lose decision.

"DPOY?" Howard didn't expect Sun Zhuo to set such a goal for him. Howard smiled modestly: "I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry. It's the same after two years."

Sun Zhuo told him very seriously: "I advise you to start working hard in the next two years, because in a few years, not only others will rob you, but I may also rob you."

"You?" Howard was stunned for a moment. Sun Zhuo, who focuses on offense, is also interested in defense?
Sun Zhuo is not joking. In everyone's eyes, he is now a player who focuses on attacking and scoring. His defense is average, but occasionally he can make people's eyes shine. There is still a distance from the top defensive players.

This is because Sun Zhuo's current defensive ability is still very weak. After two years, he has more special training cards, which must be used for defense. After his defensive ability is enhanced, Sun Zhuo will definitely compete for the best defensive player. awards.

"Ding ding..."

At this time, Sun Zhuo's Nokia phone rang a text message. Sun Zhuo thought that Popovich had only seen the reply to the text message today. He picked up the phone and saw that it was LeBron James who had just won the third game!
"Could it be you?" James asked in a text message.

"Hehe." Sun Zhuo looked at the text message and chuckled.

"Whose text message?" Seeing Sun Zhuo's expression, Howard couldn't help asking curiously.

"A person full of confidence." Sun Zhuo replied with a smile, still staring at the phone screen, and began to type a reply.

James said "Will it be you", obviously asking, next time the Cavaliers kill the Pistons, will they meet Sun Zhuo or Wade in the Eastern Conference Finals?
Sun Zhuo replied quickly: "It must be me, but it may not be you."

James is also too confident. If he gets the match point, he feels that he can enter the finals. If he has this attitude, then the Pistons will teach him to be a man in the next two games.

……

On May 5, the Magic and the Heat returned to the Magic's home court again for the fifth game of Tianwangshan.

In a series, the battle of Tianwangshan can be said to be the most important game in the entire series, and it is also the key battle that determines the outcome of the series. In terms of probability, the team that wins Tianwangshan is also the team that advances to the final stage. The probability is high, so in this game, the Heat and the Magic will do their best to fight for it.

"Shaq, how do you understand what the coach said?" During practice before the game, Wade walked up to O'Neal with the ball.

"Which sentence?" O'Neal asked casually.

"When defending against Sun, try not to let him have time to think about what to do next." Wade repeated what Pat Riley said to O'Neill.

O'Neill thought for a while and said: "Facing two defenses, Sun will not easily choose to pass the ball. Once he decides to pass the ball, he must have an idea in his mind who to pass it to. Pat Riley just wants us to make Sun Sun Uncomfortable, let him be trapped physically and mentally when passing the ball. Today we are going to play the strongest defense against Sun, I hope he is not Kobe."

O'Neal has also been very serious these days. During the regular season, he may have been lazy and frolicking without seriousness, but now in the playoffs in the Tianwangshan battle, O'Neal knows that he has a great responsibility, and his desire to win the game at this time is also great. No less than Jordan Kobe.

"I seldom hear you praise Kobe." Wade smiled unconsciously. Today, the Heat will conduct a siege defense against Sun Zhuo, often two-on-one, three-on-one, or even four-on-one. If Sun Zhuo still wants to win on his own For the ball, Sun Zhuo's one-to-many ability will be tested. In one-to-many, Kobe is the strongest in the league. Even if Sun Zhuo scored 81 points, in O'Neill's mind, Sun Zhuo is not as good as Kobe.

O'Neal smiled lightly: "Although Kobe is annoying, he is indeed better at playing a team alone. I guess Sun will not be as independent as Kobe. The key to today's game is in the hands of other Magic."

"You have to be careful of Dwight Howard." Wade reminded, besides Sun Zhuo, Howard is the most worrying point for Wade.

"I'll crush him." O'Neill showed a fierce look.

The game started soon. James, who had no game today, was watching the game from Detroit. He knew who won the game and who might be his next opponent.

At the beginning of the game, Sun Zhuo and Howard made a pick-and-roll cooperation at the three-point line. He wanted Howard to help block one, but suddenly, both of the Heat rushed towards Sun Zhuo.

Sun Zhuo was taken aback and quickly backed away. He wanted to quickly split the ball and let his teammates play more and less. Unexpectedly, the opponent reacted quickly. Sun Zhuo didn't pass the ball, but wanted to use his own speed to take advantage of the heat to defend the formation Chaos, rush in and score a goal.

Sun Zhuo dribbled the ball to the left, quickly got rid of Anthony Walker with Howard's pick-and-roll, and then went inside. The Heat instantly had two people double-team Sun Zhuo, but at this time, Anthony Walker, who had already got rid of, was Also still haunts Sun Joo.

I saw Walker slapping Sun Zhuo on the right arm behind Sun Zhuo. Since Sun Zhuo was in the crowd, the referee's attention was also on Sun Zhuo and the defender in front of him. The action did not call for a foul.

And Anthony Walker is a very powerful guy. After being hit like this, Sun Zhuo's movements and mentality were completely affected. He completely forgot whether he planned to continue attacking or split the ball. In the middle, the Heat got the rebound and quickly counterattacked. Sun Zhuo returned to the defense and pointed at the referee with his left hand and complained to the right arm: "Someone fouled, you should have seen it!"

At the beginning of the game, Sun Zhuo was unwilling to argue about these things. Coach Hill watched coldly from the sidelines and didn't say anything. If it was the future coach Steve Kerr, he would yell at the referee at this time.

It was the Heat's turn to attack, and the ball was handed over to O'Neal. O'Neal hit Howard with his back inside. O'Neal held the ball without moving, and no one stepped forward to double-team.

After waiting for a full three seconds, O'Neal suddenly turned around and passed Howard and attacked the basket. He leaned back and poured the ball into the basket with one hand, but Howard obstructed O'Neal's movement and was called a foul!

With this ball, O'Neill seemed to have rejuvenated the new year.

"O'Neal can really pretend to be old at ordinary times." Sun Zhuo secretly thought, the speed and fighting power just now, you will never see it in the regular season, and you will not see the strongest O'Neal until the most critical time.

Next, it was O'Neal's turn to make a free throw. O'Neal walked to the free throw line, which reassured Magic fans. There were boos at the scene, and O'Neal was not regarded as a "former Magic player" at all.

O'Neill's stepfather Philip Harrison also came to the scene. When O'Neill made a free throw, the camera returned to Philip. Philip looked serious and seemed more nervous than O'Neill.

Even if it was just the first free throw at the beginning of the game, O'Neal was extremely cautious and made gestures for a long time before throwing the ball. Fortunately, he scored this time.

After the goal, it was the turn of the Magic to attack again. Sun Zhuo took the initiative to dribble the ball across the half. The start of the fifth game is very important, so he wants to firmly control the rhythm of the game.

However, just two seconds after halftime, the Heat saw Sun Zhuo continue to dribble by himself. Even though Sun Zhuo hadn't started to attack, two defensive players rushed towards Sun Zhuo on the right.

Sun Zhuo's speed was very fast. He wanted to see if there was a possibility of breaking through these two people at once, but he didn't expect these two people to attack faster, and they rushed directly to Sun Zhuo's ball to steal it.

Sun Zhuo was instantly besieged by the two and quickly stopped the ball, while Walker was very fierce today and still did not stop snatching the basketball.

Sun Zhuo was besieged by the two and became a little flustered, so he had to pass the ball hastily, but was intercepted by Wade and dunked one by one!

The Heat targeted Sun Zhuo in this way from the beginning, which made the fans on the scene break into a cold sweat.

"Today, the Heat's defense against Sun is so fierce, it is simply a siege-style defense!"

"When it comes to such a critical game, they have to do the same, but fortunately, apart from Sun, other players are also worth relying on."

Coach Hill also said with emotion: "The Heat's double-team defense today is indeed very powerful. It is not only to block Sun's offense, but also to interfere with his emotions and affect his state when he distributes the ball. If Sun does not plan to fight with them alone If a team does it, the only one who can save Sun now is Dwight Howard."

Since Dwight Howard is expected to become a great center like O'Neal, in this series, he must show his power at the basket. Age is not an excuse. If the age of the two is reversed, it is 21 The 34-year-old O'Neal faced the [-]-year-old Howard. I believe everyone will agree that Howard will be blown away by the young O'Neal.

"If Dwight Howard can take O'Neal alone and attract double-teams, Sun can be a shooter alone, shoot by himself, contain someone, or run off the ball to the basket to score and cooperate with Dwight. , the game will become very easy." Coach Hill quickly changed the team's tactics and turned to Howard.

Howard suddenly became so important, and the whole person became more nervous. He tried to single-handedly hit O'Neal, and forcibly used his body to hit O'Neal, but he couldn't stand it at all, and was rewarded by O'Neal in the end.

After that, he stopped fighting so hard and played a hook carefully, but he still failed to score.

After several attacks to no avail, Howard already showed a timid look on his face.

"You want to rely on other people to beat me? You guys are overestimating the strength of your lineup. Except for Sun, they are all a group of kids who have never played in the playoffs. Learn two more years and then challenge me!" Pat Riley no longer Without the patience to continue playing with magic, he can't wait to solve magic.

When the Magic's offense was completely restricted, the Heat kept invading the Magic's basket. Wade could still go back and forth unimpeded under the Magic's basket. Although Howard was strong defensively, he was very passive because he had to throw himself out to block the shot. Wade, no one will look at O'Neal. Once Howard is restrained by O'Neal, the rest of the Heat can easily score a few throws.

The Magic have no way to score at close range from the basket and can only rely on long-range shots, while the Heat continue to use high shooting percentages inside to widen the gap.

"It seems that my opponent in the final is Dwyane Wade. Sun, the content of your text message should be reversed!" LeBron James saw that the Heat had the upper hand, and he had already decided that the Heat could win Tianwangshan.
