Super Legendary Superstar
Chapter 123 Popovich visits the Pistons
Scored a high score of 40 points in the finals. Few people in the entire NBA history have been able to achieve it. Even Kobe has not achieved it now, but Sun Zhuo accomplished this achievement earlier than Kobe.
After this game, Sun Zhuo gained two more potential points, and Sun Zhuo still put all his potential points into dunks.
Being able to change history and defeat the Pistons makes Sun Zhuo feel very accomplished. Larry Brown is not only his opponent in the finals, but also his opponent in the Athens Olympics two months later. When he arrives in Athens, Sun Zhuo will not be so strong. As an opponent, Sun Zhuo must cherish this opportunity.
After the game, the Lakers locker room was filled with jubilation.
Winning this game today was so exciting! You didn't see Larry Brown's terrible expression at the end of the game. Haha, they thought their defense was the best in the league, but today we were on their territory and won More than 100 points left! Sun, you deserve a lot of credit! O'Neal said excitedly, reaching out and patting Sun Zhuo, the hero today.
Sun Zhuo scored 40 points, which can be said to have completely stolen the light that originally belonged to O'Neal and Kobe. However, O'Neal didn't mind. At least it was not Kobe who stepped forward to save the team, and O'Neal did not regard Sun Zhuo as a competitor for FMVP. Come and see.
Kobe's jealousy was a little stronger. After the game, everyone was praising Sun Zhuo. In addition, Sun Zhuo and Mike Shinoda's song was so popular. This game can be said to be remembered by the whole world. Sun Zhuo's name, Kobe's edge was completely covered up.
However, Kobe didn’t think that Sun Zhuo had the intention to win the FMVP. After all, Sun Zhuo’s statistics in the first two games were average. If Sun Zhuo really had this ambition, he would have exposed all his abilities in the first game of the finals. How could he reach 20 in the first two games? +.
Moreover, Kobe believed that Sun Zhuo's outburst had a lot of luck in it. He grabbed too many rebounds and too many steals, so he got a lot of offensive opportunities.
In the next few games, the core of the Lakers will still be Kobe and O'Neal. Both Kobe and O'Neal believe that Sun Zhuo's average data per game cannot threaten them both.
Therefore, in the next two days, Sun Zhuo got along well with Kobe and O'Neal.
…
After losing the third game, the Pistons' situation was not very good. Larry Brown kept a straight face during the team's training on the second day. He turned the Pistons into the strongest defensive team in the league, but this One battle, but suffered a complete defeat.
Larry Brown has a golden saying called PLAY THE RIGHT WAY, do the most right thing, just like Jordan insisted on doing the right thing in the right way, they have a great and constant concept.
However, in this situation, what is the right thing to do?
Just when Larry Brown was extremely melancholy, a guest came to the arena. His appearance made all the Pistons players stop what they were doing. When they saw this person, they respected him as much as they saw their coach. ,even more.
Long time no see. Popovich suddenly appeared at the Pistons' training facility and walked towards Larry Brown with a smile. He was very respectful and humble, without showing any signs of being the Spurs' champion coach.
Oh, why are you here? Larry Brown was also surprised to see Popovich and shook hands with Popovich.
I'm here to learn from you. Popovich said modestly.
Larry Brown smiled and said, Don't say that, you are already a very successful coach.
The two chatted for a while, and then Larry Brown and Popovich walked to the office to chat alone.
Larry Brown sighed: As you predicted before, Sun, a rookie, is indeed a trouble. If it weren't for his crazy performance in the third game, it would definitely be us who are leading 2:1 now. I originally thought Don’t let the game go back to Staples.”
Popovich also looked serious and said: Is there any countermeasure now?
Larry Brown said: His three-point shooting rate from the corner is terrible, but his three-point shooting rate from other positions is average, and he even dares not to shoot. I will still let Hamilton or Prince guard him alone. No Let him speed up and prevent him from threatening the basket. In fact, few of his 40 points in the last game were forced goals. Many of them were particularly good opportunities. He will not do it again in the next game. So lucky.”
Popovich nodded and said: I believe you will do a good job defensively, but on offense, Sun seems to have seen through your routine.
Larry Brown frowned: This guy dared to give up his matchup to steal and block shots, and he guessed it right every time. Our players didn't notice it every time. This is really nerve-wracking.
Popovich smiled and said: Since he likes to take the initiative so much, steal and block shots, then you should welcome him. Don't forget, he is just a rookie. His predictions are not accurate. Can win.
You mean...causing him to foul? Larry Brown understood what Popovich meant. Rather than letting Sun Zhuo frighten them on the court, it would be better to find a way to get Sun Zhuo off the court.
After all, Sun Zhuo is in his first year playing in the NBA. Although his scoring ability is already very good, he is still at a rookie level in terms of controlling mistakes and fouls.
Furthermore, if the Pistons want to deliberately cause Sun Zhuo to foul, even if Sun Zhuo is a veteran for many years, he will not be able to bear it.
Larry Brown said: Hamilton can cause 3-4 fouls every game. Let him strengthen his offense and lure him a little. It will not be difficult to get him to commit six fouls. Moreover, since he likes to predict so much, I can give him He creates some offensive traps, doesn’t he like to steal? Then wait for him to come!”
I really want to see your tactics now. Popovich smiled.
You seem to be looking forward to us defeating Sun, a rookie. As for you paying so much attention to it? To be honest, his strength is far inferior to Allen Iverson as a rookie. Larry Brown doesn't quite understand why Popovich is so concerned about Sun Zhuo is so concerned.
Popovich said: In the series against the Spurs, he didn't show his speed, which to me is a shame.
Larry Brown nodded, finally understanding that the proud Popovich was originally hit by Sun Zhuo's hidden ability.
…
June 13, 2004, G4, Palace of Auburn Hills.
This game will likely determine the direction of the series. Once the Lakers win another game, they will get the match point. The Lakers who get the match point, plus the home court advantage in the last two games, can basically seal the victory. So this game is crucial for the Lakers.
In the same way, the Pistons must prevent the Lakers from getting match points at the Pistons' home court. They must strive for a tie and then return to Los Angeles with a 3:2 lead. Even so, they may not be able to guarantee victory. Because the last two games are the Lakers' home games.
Before the game, Larry Brown told all the players that they must cherish the few remaining home courts. They will miss it all when the game is moved to Los Angeles.
After the players from both sides entered the court, everyone still looked serious. Only Sun Zhuo looked relaxed, as if the outcome of this game did not matter to him.
Should we continue to use the game repeat challenge card in this game? If we continue to use it, it won't matter whether we win or lose in the next game. Sun Zhuo's calm and calm attitude was completely different from that of participating in the finals for the first time.
This guy Sun doesn't seem nervous at all. Does he think they can beat us this time? That's too delusional! Rasheed Wallace glanced at Sun Zhuo opposite him. He still remembered that Sun Zhuo asked him six times in the last game. To commit the crime of being on the scene.
Rashid Wallace still seems to hate me. Well, go over and have a chat with him. Sun Zhuo also saw Rasheed Wallace, so he walked in his direction.
