Chapter 85
Houston, Toyota Center.

Sun Zhuo's consecutive three-pointers broke the stalemate and put the Rockets in a difficult situation. In addition, they were already behind by a big score of 1:3 at this moment. The entire Rockets team and the Rockets fans at the scene were almost in despair.

"No, it's not true. Is this the end of the season for the Rockets? This game we obviously maintained the score from beginning to end. We defended Shaq and Kobe very well. Even Karl Malone couldn't completely beat us. , but why did Sun suddenly rise? Could it be that he has always been the one with the best three-pointers in the Lakers?" A fan felt that the elimination was approaching, and emotionally hugged his head, unwilling to believe this fact. He didn't understand why Sun Zhuo's three-pointer was so powerful, no one realized it in the first few games.

"Yao..." Francis was also out of breath. He had fought the whole game and was exhausted. He never thought that he would be defeated by Sun Zhuo's three-pointer in the end.

Throughout the whole game, both sides were fighting for defense, and the score was very close. The difference of five points was enough to make them feel strenuous. Sun Zhuo's consecutive three-pointers directly widened the difference to double digits , this blow is huge.

Yao Ming knew what Francis wanted to ask, but he shook his head helplessly and replied, "I don't know either, I guess it's a coincidence."

Francis wanted to ask Yao Ming if Sun Zhuo's three-pointers had always been so strong. According to Yao Ming's understanding of Sun Zhuo, of course not.

Even Yao Ming didn't know about Sun Zhuo's talent for dunking, but the three-point shot was not based on talent, but accumulated practice over time. In Yao Ming's impression, Sun Zhuo had never been obsessed with training three-pointers.

Phil Jackson was also overjoyed. This wave of rhythm was brought out by Sun Zhuo, but it was Phil who made Sun Zhuo have the opportunity to lead the rhythm. Phil thought to himself: "I really hope that in the next series, Sun can still have the rhythm In this state, if he can become a qualified outside shooter, then no one will be afraid of winning the championship this season."

After Sun Zhuo brought out a wave of advantages, the Rockets had no choice but to quickly catch up with the point difference, but the Rockets did not have a super star who could shoot three-pointers like McGrady at this time, and Francis' three-point shooting percentage this season was less than Thirty percent, Mobley and Jackson's three-point shooting rate is not bad, but they are not stars, which means they can't do the miracle of McGrady chasing 35 points in 13 seconds.

In the end, the Lakers had no suspense, defeated the Rockets with a total score of 4:1, and advanced to the second round of the playoffs!

"Yeah, I won!" The Lakers dugout burst into jubilation, and Sun Zhuo was also very happy. He can laugh to his heart's content today, because today he didn't lie down and win, he made a contribution.

As soon as the game was over, O'Neal walked towards Sun Zhuo first and praised: "Good job, today's victory is due to you a lot, and now you can slap Ron Artest in the face hard."

Sun Zhuo reached out and shook hands, calculated the statistics of these five playoff games, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid I have to wait a little longer. Now my average score is 9.6 points, which is less than 10 points, but I will play one more game." , that’s it.”

"I believe you can do it, brother." O'Neal patted Sun Zhuo on the head.

Afterwards, Sun Zhuo also went to bid farewell to Yao Ming who was opposite him immediately.

This is the first time Yao Ming participated in the playoffs, but it ended in such a rout. Anyone feels uncomfortable, but Yao Ming is still very generous to congratulate Sun Zhuo: "Congratulations, you played very well today, I am getting more and more used to my role in the team, and I hope you can shoot as precise a three-pointer as you are today in the Olympics.”

Sun Zhuo didn't know whether today's hit rate could be replicated in the Olympic arena, and said with a smile, "I will try my best, and I wish you enjoy the next vacation, and I will fight with you in the Athens arena!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you! I wish you the championship!" When mentioning the Olympic Games, Yao Ming regained his fighting spirit.

After the series between the Lakers and the Rockets, Pacers star Artest, who had already swept the opponent [-]-[-], still showed disdain for Sun Zhuo's excellent performance in the last game. He said that Sun Zhuo could make so many three-pointers in a row. It must be a fluke to split the ball, and it is said that the Lakers' opponent in the next round, the Spurs, has already swept the opponent [-]-[-]. Even if Sun Zhuo did not perform, the Lakers will win in the end. Sun Zhuo's role in the entire series is equivalent to zero .

In fact, in the previous life, when the Lakers did not have Sun Zhuo, they did beat the Rockets 4:1, so Artest's words were also recognized by many people, because the combination of O'Neal and Kobe, even if they swept the Rockets Of course.

After the game, the Lakers returned to the locker room. O'Neal put his arm on Sun Zhuo's shoulder and kept bragging about his ace brother. Shoot three-pointers from the outside, we won’t have any trouble winning the championship this year, haha.”

"I think Sun is already the most accurate three-point shooter on our team, so I hope that Gary Payton, Derek Fisher and Kobe Bryant can minimize the number of three-point shots and make them more effective. The opportunity is given to Sun Zhuo, he is more sure than you, isn't he?" O'Neill had no chance to brag about Sun Zhuo in the previous few games, but this time he talked tirelessly.

Gary Payton and Fisher naturally dare not have any opinions, but Kobe doesn't like to hear such words. Although the Lakers won the series, the internal conflicts are still unresolved, and it is impossible to resolve them. Even if they win the championship this season, Kobe And O'Neill will definitely be separated.

"What did you say? Sun is the best three-pointer on the team? Are you so excited that you just won the first round of the series?" Kobe sneered.

O'Neill explained: "Oh, I'm not talking nonsense, the data can explain everything, Kobe, your three-point shooting percentage this season has dropped a lot compared to last season, only 31% or 32%, but you know Sun's three-point shooting today What is the shooting percentage? About [-]% or [-]%?"

Sun Zhuo almost never misses his three-pointers today, which is extremely efficient. Kobe's three-point shooting percentage has indeed dropped a lot this season. It was 38.5% last season and only 32% this season so far.

Kobe's mentality has been greatly affected this season. Under the irritated mood, his rebounds and layups are more ferocious than last season, but his long-range shooting percentage has dropped. However, Kobe is not a person who is easy to admit defeat after all. , So, he challenged Sun Zhuo on the spot: "Sun, why don't we try a three-point shot? Right now."

"Three points?" Sun Zhuo felt that he was lying on the ground for no reason.

Kobe knew that Sun Zhuo didn't dare to compete with him easily, so he said: "This season is coming to an end soon, we haven't had a serious contest yet, this time we are only shooting three-pointers, and there is no defense, completely How about an open shot?"

Without waiting for Sun Zhuo to agree, O'Neill first accepted the match for Sun Zhuo: "Okay, Sun, you can compare with him for three points."

In O'Neill's view, Sun Zhuo's three-pointer felt hot today, and Kobe hit all three-pointers twice. Sun Zhuo should have a better chance of winning.

As a result, Sun Zhuo was also driven to the basketball court with Kobe, and Phil Jackson also followed. He also wanted to see the scene of Sun Zhuo defeating Kobe.
