Chapter 410 The Difficult Second Battle!

Popovich scratched his messy hair and said impatiently: "Chad, I forgive you for not understanding my rules when you just joined the Spurs this year. Let me remind you again, don't bother me outside of working hours. Especially when I have to rest and get ready to talk to my daughter!"

Popovich has always been very dignified in the team. If it weren't for Chad, who is a little stunned, he might not dare to say this to the head coach. Chad said: "Coach Popovich, we should To win an away game, we can do it."

Chad is dissatisfied with the current situation. The young Howard has been blown to the sky, and the great insider Tim Duncan, who is in his peak and best form, has been belittled and ridiculed. Down, it will play better and better, which is not good for the Spurs.

Popovich saw Chad's serious appearance and knew that the other party was very conscientious, so he turned his anger into a smile, patted Chad on the shoulder, asked him to sit down, and had a good chat with him: "Dwight Howard is a kid A few weights, you and I, Tim Duncan, we all know, so what if he is blown to the sky? The most important thing is Sun, he is the key to the outcome of the series. Chad, our The opponents are very young and arrogant, and this is where we can take advantage of it. In this series, it may not be us who beat them in the end, but they themselves."

From Popovich's mysterious smile, Chad knew that Popovich must be planning something.

……

In 1993, the Magic played against the Nets.

At this moment, Sun Zhuo is challenging O'Neal for the second peak game.

"Scott, here, pass it on!"

At this time, the Magic were on a fast break, and O'Neal, controlled by Sun Zhuo, was running fast while yelling at the team's point guard, Scott Skiles, that's right, it was the same Scott Skiles who served as the Bulls' coach in 2007. Tuskels, at this time, his hair is still lush, not as bad as the bald one.

Skiles was a little hesitant, because "O'Neal" was still far away from the basket. If it is passed to him now, with his huge body, can he be safely transported to the basket?

Because Sun Zhuo has been playing as a small forward, he is used to dribbling by himself, and he also knows that O'Neal's speed is not bad. If he handles the ball carefully, he can dribble the ball and break fast by himself, so he can't wait to ask his teammates for the ball.

"Give it to me!" A dashing Magic No. [-] suddenly passed in front of Skiles. It was Magic's rising star "Penny" Hardaway!

Skiles quickly passed the ball to Hardaway, Hardaway quickly broke through the defense and went to the basket, pretended to attack, and then passed the ball to Sun Zhuo who was following behind, Sun Zhuo jumped aggressively and dunked with both hands!
There was cheers at the scene.

"Anfernee Hardaway is a very strong rookie. When he was training with the Dream Team, he even defeated that Dream Team once! The combination of him and Shaquille O'Neal must be worth looking forward to!"

"Haha, it seems that the Orlando Magic are not far from the championship!"

On the court, the rookie Hardaway also took the initiative to high-five Sun Zhuo. Sun Zhuo looked at this handsome and elegant man like McGrady, and said to himself: "Hardaway, do you know that I am the strongest magic number one... "

A terrifying triple-double is not so easy to get, especially blocks. Sun Zhuo only blocked 2 shots in one quarter. I really don't know how he managed to block 15 shots.

Sun Zhuo has always played as a small forward. There are still some things that he is not used to in the center position, such as "O'Neal's strong dunk". This kind of height is too high, and I worry about being capped when I jump up, and the result is often not ideal.

"It seems that I have to fight a few more times before I can gradually adapt to the fact that I am a [-] meter giant."

The challenge failed, Sun Zhuo could only find another time to challenge.

……

Soon, it was time for the second game of the finals.

Although the Magic are now leading 1:0, it is due to a lucky tip-up by Howard. The strength of the Spurs impressed all Magic fans in the last game. This game, the Spurs may be even more difficult to deal with.

In the auditorium, the VIP audience Kobe and Wade in the VIP are discussing in detail the probability of winning and losing for both sides. Kerry is sitting next to them, listening carefully. Although Kerry doesn't know much about basketball, However, Kyrie knew something that neither Kobe nor Wade knew.

"I don't know if what Sun said is true, isn't it just to comfort me?" Kerry thought to himself.

In the past two days, Carey has been watching the relevant reports of the NBA finals. Some ESPN columnists, or the analysis of the finals by TN.T. Leading 1:0, but they won with a lucky rebound at the last moment. The key point is that Sun Zhuo's personal offense was suppressed. With Howard alone, the Magic can't win against the Spurs.

Kerry knew that Sun Zhuo was worried about the Spurs early in the morning, so he talked with Sun Zhuo about this matter. Last night, Sun Zhuo told Kerry that the Spurs did not restrict him at all, and he could kill the Spurs by shooting. It's just that at the beginning of the series, he deliberately showed weakness. After a few games, he would catch his opponent by surprise.

Kerry stared at Sun Zhuo on the field, feeling warm again in his heart. He believed that his man would handle all situations.

The game has officially started, and the lineups of both sides have not changed from the previous game. Similarly, the defense against Sun Zhuo has not changed.

"We can't sit still in this game. We have to make a decisive shot first. If the hand feels good, we may be able to bluff the opponent." Sun Zhuo knew that the opponent's defense against him was still a sudden shot, so he shot.

Break through Bowen strongly, and after being blocked, take a step back and make a jumper!

"Oh, he made the shot! This action..." Wade and Sun Zhuo are so close, he had already guessed that Sun Zhuo would definitely take more shots in this game than in the previous game, but he didn't expect Sun Zhuo to make a fadeaway jumper His posture is actually somewhat similar to Kobe Bryant.

Kobe was also surprised when he saw it, and then he thought about Sun Zhuo asking him to teach him his shooting posture.

Sun Zhuo's fade-away jumper has long been the best in the league, but the previous shots were all back to the basket, and his body leaned against the opponent, like this kind of back-up jumper with no physical contact with the opponent. Still rarely seen.

Swish!
Sun Zhuo hit the first shot!

"This..." The Spurs' assistant coach Chad looked at coach Popovich with some concern in the Spurs bench.

Popovich looked at the field calmly, waved his hand, and said a word: "Illusion."

Popovich does not believe that this is Sun Zhuo's routine operation.

Even Wade became curious, and asked Kobe next to him: "Before I came, did you teach him anything? He didn't do this kind of backward jump shot before. This ball seems to be imitating you, especially It was the moment of the shot, so similar."

Before Sun Zhuo challenged Kobe to the top game, he naturally kept Kobe's fadeaway jump shot in his mind, so this time he couldn't help but use Kobe's movement. Anyway, if he uses his own shooting posture, the shooting rate will not be good. Where to go.

Kobe smiled: "He did ask me to teach him my shooting movements, but, to be honest, he used my movements to shoot, and his shooting percentage was really a bit horrible."

"Oh?" Wade was surprised, and suddenly realized that Sun Zhuo's shot was actually a bet on luck. If he made the right bet, he could scare the Spurs.

As Sun Zhuo's good brother, Wade whispered to Kobe: "Do you want to help Sun?"

"How to help?" Kobe didn't know what Wade was talking about.

Wade said: "Next time if Sun uses your shooting action to score a goal, we will interact with him off the court to make Popovich mistakenly think that he has your true pass."

Kobe smiled helplessly. He himself had never done this kind of tricks played by children, but since Wade opened his mouth, let him accompany him.

After Kobe agreed, Wade happily made a look at Sun Zhuo on the court. Sun Zhuo didn't understand at first, but then he understood after seeing Wade gesture cautiously.

"Haha, is D-WADE asking me to make another shot with Kobe's moves? I understand what he wants to do." Sun Zhuo naturally understood what Wade meant, because Wade was not such a person in the first place. His actions are all influenced by Sun Zhuo, and it is completely "Sun Zhuo style" to confuse the opponent.

Soon, it was the Magic's turn to attack again.

"God help me, let me get another one in."

Sun Zhuo prayed, and immediately hit another iconic Kobe shot!
"How could it be so similar?" Even Popovich on the sidelines couldn't help feeling flustered. Sun Zhuo's movements were completely different from Kobe's. From dribbling to shooting, they were so similar.

This point, among the tens of thousands of people present, probably only Kobe, an outsider, knew that Sun Zhuo was very strict in imitating Kobe's movements, and Kobe guided him for a long time. Sun Zhuo cared about every detail.

bang.

After Sun Zhuo shot, the basketball bounced a few times on the rim, but finally fell into the net!
"Haha." Sun Zhuo was overjoyed, his luck was really good today!

And Kobe grinned in surprise, but was immediately reminded by Wade's slap on the thigh, Kobe immediately changed his expression from surprise to relief, and got up and gave Sun Zhuo a thumbs up.

Sun Zhuo on the field also immediately responded with a "fist" gesture to Kobe.

This interaction made the fans at the scene couldn't help but reverie.

"Sun's two shots are similar to Kobe. Kobe has been in Orlando for so long, has he been teaching him the fadeaway jumper?"

"Haha, did Sun get Kobe's true pass in the face-up shot? In fact, Kobe has to learn from Sun in terms of back-up shooting! I think the two of them should learn from each other, and Kobe should also practice back-up shooting. .”

For a while, the atmosphere on the court became mysterious, and Popovich couldn't help feeling a little upset. Chad leaned over again and said, "If Sun can reach Kobe's level in the middle distance, then..."

"Are you crazy? It's only been a few days since the Lakers were eliminated? Can he learn Kobe's ability in such a short period of time?" Popovich was still tough, insisting on his own approach, and continued to prevent sudden shots!

Next, Sun Zhuo imitated Kobe again and failed. After that, he didn't even imitate at all.

Popovich gave Wade Kobe a cold look: "A group of little guys still want to confuse me, go call Pat Riley and Phil Jackson, you have this hope."

After Sun Zhuo's disguise was seen through, the Spurs became even more powerful. Tony Parker, a small French sports car, drilled around the field, unstoppable. Monta Ellis' defense was still too weak, and Parker even dared to stand in front of Ellis. Shoot a three-pointer face to face.

Soon, after Ginobili came on the court, he aimed at Howard, who was still in good form. Although the coach did not order that this game should be against Howard, Ginobili had his own ideas. He just wanted to teach Howard to be a man. His sharpness.

Not long after he played, Ginobili easily fouled Howard. From Ginobili's sharp eyes, Sun Zhuo could see that one foul could not satisfy Ginobili's ambition.

So, Sun Zhuo reminded Howard: "Dwight, be careful of Manu Ginobili, don't be tricked into fouling by him again."

"I know, I almost sent a good cap just now." Howard said indifferently, he had already sent two caps in the first quarter, if he didn't call him a foul just now, it would be the third.

Ginobili still looks cool, and looks no different from the usual taciturn man, but now, his mood is very different from before.

"Dwight Howard, the number one inside player in the league? He has been in the league for three years, and his technical shooting has not improved. What are you doing? How did this series become like this? I would rather see Sun being unstoppable and having a good time. Have a fight with him!"

Popovich completely restricted Sun Zhuo's athletic talent, but Ginobili wanted to see Sun Zhuo more.

"Oops, I didn't go in again, go back to defense!"

The Magic's offense failed. This time it was a fast play. Howard didn't reach the basket at all, and the Magic made a shot. As a result, Ginobili got the rebound and rushed forward crazily. He happened to meet Howard in the midfield position. As a defender, there are not many opportunities to face the center in the midfield position. Ginobili wanted to do something in an instant.

"Dwight!" Sun Zhuo yelled at Howard to remind him.

Only then did Howard realize that Ginobili was rushing towards him, and Howard had no time to hide. Ginobili rushed forward, just like a Hollywood actor's performance, the referee immediately blew his whistle and called Howard another foul.

"What? I didn't touch him at all! He poured it himself!" Howard felt aggrieved and argued with the referee.

"Howard...you can't blame him, Ginobili is too insidious and hard to guard against." Sun Zhuo sighed, and hurried forward to push Howard aside.

"Stop shouting, Dwight, do you want to be fouled again?" Sun Zhuo pushed Howard away, and comforted Howard: "Don't worry about it, calm down, don't foul again, you are very important to us, you know ?"

Sun Zhuo's sincere eyes made Howard calm down. From Sun Zhuo's eyes, he felt the importance of himself to Sun Zhuo and the entire team. It felt like the earth couldn't turn without him .

"Sun needs me, everyone needs me, okay." Howard accepted the ending calmly, and forced himself to be rational, with a surge of pride in his heart.
