Chapter 348 Kobe who vowed to win the championship!
"He's here too..." Kobe saw that O'Neal was also present, and his mood became even more different.

The reason why this finals is attractive is precisely because Kobe and Sun Zhuo were teammates before, and they were separated because they could not be partners. However, the conflict or hostility between Kobe and Sun Zhuo is actually not that serious. , The conflict between Kobe and O'Neal is actually deeper.

Kobe and Sun Zhuo have been together for two years, while Kobe and O'Neal have been together for eight years. The longer the time, the stronger the love and hatred. Kobe wants to prove to the world that he can win the championship without O'Neal, and O'Neal appeared in the Here, I probably want to see that you, Kobe, leave me, but you can't win the championship.

CCTV, Zhang Weiping has also witnessed the establishment and disintegration of the Lakers dynasty in recent years. Seeing O'Neal sitting in the auditorium with dignity, he couldn't help saying: "I think O'Neal should be very happy in his heart. Although he is a Heat player, He is eliminated now, but seeing Kobe and Sun Zhuo fighting for the championship on the court, he is very happy. Look, this Kobe and Sun Zhuo, I think they played under my hands back then, and they all have to listen to me. Now these younger brothers from back then can each lead a team to the finals."

Yu Jia said with a smile: "That's true. Since O'Neal entered the league, he has been partnering with the most talented stars. At first it was Penny Hardaway, then Kobe Bryant, then Sun Zhuo also came, and now it's Flash Dwyane Wade, we don't deny his greatness, but we have to say that these partners also gave him a lot of help."

Zhang Weiping continued: "If you want to say that you have the most talented players in the league as teammates, in fact it is not just O'Neal, the Lakers now have one, the No. 01 pick in [-], Kwame Brown, he is the first high school student in NBA history No. [-] pick, he partnered with Michael Jordan after entering the Wizards, and now he is partnered with Kobe, these are the two top guards in NBA history."

Kwame Brown is a famous "parallel import champion", and Yu Jia knew that Zhang Weiping's words were not a compliment.

The game started soon.

Lakers starting: Francis, Kobe, Grant Hill, Odom, Kwame Brown.

Magic starters: Nelson, Ariza, Sun Zhuo, Turkoglu and Howard.

The lineups of both teams are relatively young, and Francis and Kobe are the oldest among them, but both of them are in their peak competitive state. Sun Zhuo, who has seen Kobe's entire career, even feels that Kobe has not yet reached his peak.

Moreover, except for Kobe and Sun Zhuo, no one else has played in the finals.

Such a young finals team is still rare, and both sides were a little nervous at the beginning.

Francis gave Kobe an alley-oop, the ball was a bit high, Kobe barely got the ball in the air, there was no way to send it directly to the basket, and then when Kobe fell, two Magic players surrounded him in an instant, Kobe Unable to shoot at the rim, forced to pass behind the back to Kwame Brown, who was completely emptied, was a must for anyone.

However, Kwame Brown jumped up and attacked the basket after catching the ball with both hands. Everyone thought it was a dunk, just like what O'Neal and Howard usually like to do, but Brown layup with both hands, thinking about putting the ball into the basket. It's nothing, the layup saves more energy. However, as a two-meter-one big center, he was blocked by the basket with both hands, and the goal was missed!

"Hahaha." Someone at the scene couldn't help laughing.

Sure enough, he is the No. [-] pick in parallel imports. He is incomparable with O'Neal and Howard, who are also No. [-] picks. Seeing this, Sun Zhuo is also relieved. Although Howard is younger than Kwame Brown, as Howard said, he can completely blow up the Lakers. inside line.

However, when it was the Magic's turn to attack, the Magic didn't play well, and Ariza's pass was directly cut off.

At the beginning, both teams made some low-level mistakes, and the scene was not as good as everyone imagined.

Because Kobe and Sun Zhuo attracted the attention of many people around the world in this game, many Mavericks and Heat fans also posted on the Internet to vent their anger.

"This TM is the Finals team? The Lakers and Magic are here to make a joke, right?"

"Then if you can win the championship like this, I just want to say that my grandma can also play in the finals!"

On the sidelines, the experienced head coaches of both teams, Phil Jackson and Hill, were very calm. They didn't care whether the team played the strength of the finals team. What they pursued was to defeat the opponent, as long as they could win the opponent.

But as the most influential basketball players in the world, Kobe and Sun Zhuo could not accept the game being played like this. Sun Zhuo took the initiative to say to Kobe: "Come on, Kobe, it's time to let the game enter the way everyone imagined."

Kobe smiled, and Sun Zhuo didn't need to say, he would do the same, especially O'Neill was still watching with cold eyes, how could he not play today?
Kobe's next attack, he rushed to the basket and faced Dwight Howard!

"Hit him, Dwight!" When Sun Zhuo looked at Kobe and Howard, he sometimes still had the illusion that they were also teammates.

boom!
I saw Kobe's backhand layup, which was pressed on the board by Howard!
Howard's height, bounce and long arms can indeed limit Kobe's ordinary layups very well. In his previous life, Kobe and Howard also played in the finals. It was in 2009, and Kobe at that time could perform supernaturally. For the layup, Kobe is in better physical condition this year. If he makes a super-level layup, I am afraid Howard will not be able to prevent it.

But in any case, Howard has posed a huge threat to Kobe's inside offense including the entire Lakers.

After blocking Kobe's layup, the ball was quickly passed to Sun Zhuo, and the shouts of excitement at the scene also stimulated Sun Zhuo even more. Sun Zhuo ran forward with all his strength, raising his arms to dunk!

boom!
Odom stretched out his left hand to block the shot, and even blocked Sun Zhuo's dunk!
"Oh!" There was an exclamation from the scene.

Kobe's layup was blocked by Howard, and Sun Zhuo's dunk was actually blocked by Odom. Both Howard and Odom are excellent defenders with good height, length, arms and jumping. You should see them both Excellent defensive ability, but there are still some black fans on the Internet who use this to black Kobe and Sun Zhuo.

"How about playing in the finals with this strength? Now I say that Kobe and Sun Zhuo are recommended by the league. Do you have any objections?"

"Why didn't the referee blow the whistle? Let's see who is the godson and who is the real son, hehe."

However, O'Neal said to Wade: "They are all very strong, no wonder they made it to the finals."

Wade also nodded. Howard and Odom are definitely two people who are seriously ignored by everyone. The average fans only know Kobe and Sun Zhuo, and they don't realize the importance of Howard and Odom at all.

"In this series, Dwight Howard and Lamar will also become stars." Phil Jackson secretly said.

Throughout the first half, the game was uneventful. In the second half, Kobe and Sun Zhuo, who wanted to win the first game, couldn't hold back anymore.

Kobe scored six points in a row, helping the Lakers establish a lead. In the regular season, Sun Zhuo was the one who scored more points than Kobe. I thought it would be the same in the playoffs. Unexpectedly, in the finals, Sun Zhuo was completely You can't score as crazy as you did in the regular season.

Phil Jackson knows Sun Zhuo too well. As early as when Sun Zhuo played against the Heat, Sun Zhuo's "relying on bugs" became useless. Now, it is even more so. Zen Master knows how to do it earlier than Pat Riley Sun Zhuo had no solution to rely on shooting.

On this basis, Phil Jackson restricted Sun Zhuo's bottom corner even more severely. When Sun Zhuo had no ball, the bottom corner became Sun Zhuo's forbidden area, and he was not even allowed to stand, forcing him to go to other places. Position to catch the ball.

In addition, as Sun Zhuo's three-pointers in other positions have also improved a lot recently, Phil Jackson is particularly afraid of Sun Zhuo's three-pointers. Chance.

The Magic's defense against Kobe is just the opposite, allowing Kobe to break through or three-pointers, but not to give Kobe a mid-range shot.

"My mid-range shot value is not high now. They are forcing me to use my worst scoring method." Sun Zhuo was a little depressed. Knowing his mid-range shot ability, he didn't dare to keep shooting, so he used defense to attract points. , At this time, he realized how much Phil Jackson and Kobe knew him.

Sun Zhuo scored twice, but Kobe blocked them all!And it was directly counterattacked by Kobe!

All of a sudden, the difference was widened.

Yu Jia said with emotion: "Howard played well today, but Sun Zhuo was restricted, and the Lakers know Sun Zhuo too well. Not only do they know how he scores, but they can even guess whoever he passes to."

"After all, Kobe has been teammates with Sun Zhuo for two years. It can be regarded as watching Sun Zhuo grow up. Looking at it this way, there is still a gap between Sun Zhuo and Kobe. The finals are different from the regular season. In the finals A high score can better demonstrate a person's value." Zhang Weiping commented objectively.

Originally, the Magic still had a chance, but once the Lakers established their lead, Kobe didn't feel complacent and relaxed. Instead, he played like a different player.

30 points, 32 points, 35 points, 37 points!
Kobe staged another wave of scoring performances in the final stage, which directly ended the suspense of the game, which made both Sun Zhuo and the Magic unexpected.

O'Neal, who was sitting off the court, shook his head: "Kobe is too ruthless, and Sun is still too tender. He thought the Lakers would seek stability, but he didn't expect another wave of explosions when they were leading. Kobe is like this. If he wants to If you are determined, you will not be given a chance."

In this game, Howard scored 30+16, which is the highest score for the Magic. Sun Zhuo only scored 16 points and 12 assists. For the Lakers, Kobe Bryant scored 37 points, Lamar Odom scored 26 points and 14 rebounds, and Francis also scored 20 points.

The Lakers temporarily lead 1:0.

After winning the game, Kobe was very proud. He took the initiative to walk to the audience and said to O'Neill: "After the next game, you are also welcome to go back to Staples to continue watching the game."

Kobe wanted O'Neal to personally witness his first championship away from O'Neal on the spot. O'Neal was obviously very uncomfortable and didn't reply. He came to Sun Zhuo's house with Wade at night and complained to Sun Zhuo like a crazy Magic fan : "How did you do it today? Why did you let Kobe win? If Kobe won the championship, guess what he would say? Without Shaq, I can still win the championship. When the team chose me and didn't choose Sun, it was right. Would you like to hear that?"

O'Neill once satirized Kobe Bryant in words. People who do wrong things tend to be more guilty. He knew that once Kobe won the championship, he would definitely not be spared, so he would rather see Sun Zhuo win the championship.

Sun Zhuo and Kobe did not have such a big enmity, but admired each other more, and Kobe won a game, and he didn't think it was a big deal, so he said lightly: "I want to win too, man, you are also at the scene, you should have seen it, Before I passed the ball, Kobe guessed who I would pass it to, and Phil Jackson, when I was in the Lakers, he rarely asked me about my personal affairs, but why does it feel like he knows me so well?"

Wade said with a smile: "Maybe he doesn't ask you because he knows you well enough, Sun, you seem to be quite relaxed, and you don't seem to be under any pressure. You are not afraid of being beaten 0:2 by Kobe in the next game." Is it a start?"

"0:2? There is no such possibility." Sun Zhuo smiled confidently.

"Anything is possible, Sun, you have to be careful. You have seen how ruthless Kobe is, and he will explode again if he takes the lead. Do you think he will be satisfied with a victory in the away game? That is someone else, Not Kobe! How greedy Kobe is, don’t you know how greedy you have been with him for two years? I won four championships with him, and he’s still not satisfied.” O’Neal kept talking.

Now Sun Zhuo couldn't help but speak for Kobe: "It's not greedy. After assisting you so many championships, it's his turn to be the boss. Anyone would have such selfishness."

"You have such a good mentality, it's not like you. Although you have won the championship, just like Kobe, you won it under my leadership. You should also want to win the championship. Sun, your end is Don’t you know how to win them?” O’Neill saw that Sun Zhuo’s mentality was still so good after losing, and he felt that Sun Zhuo should have a way to win.

Sun Zhuo held two game repeat challenge cards in his hand, and of course he didn't care about losing one game, "Yes, three-pointers. In the next game, if we make three-pointers more accurately, the Lakers won't win. The Lakers are just like you. No [-]-point shooters."

"Three-pointers? You still want to use three-pointers to win the game?" O'Neal sneered.

Sun Zhuo said: "Three-pointers can definitely dominate the game. Our victory in the seventh game is not luck, but strength, and it is also a trend. Howard and I will encounter a lot of double-teams, and there are many open shots from the outside. Why? Don't shoot threes?"

"I guess you must really want to be teammates with Ray Allen." Wade laughed. This season, Ray Allen made 269 three-pointers, breaking the NBA historical record.

Hearing this, O'Neill immediately became serious, patted Wade on the shoulder, and said: "Call Pat Riley immediately and ask him to contact Ray Allen for a meeting. We must not let the Magic get this person." !"
