Super Legendary Superstar

Chapter 363 The opening match!

Before the new season even started, it was defined as a different and extraordinary season by these promotional videos. This is the place where miracles happen. People are very curious, how many more miracles will happen this season?

Can Sun Zhuo and his Magic team successfully defend their title?

You know, Sun Zhuo received a lot of criticism when he won the championship last season. He was considered lucky to win against the Heat. In the finals, he met the Lakers instead of the more difficult Mavericks and Spurs. It also made everyone feel that if the opponent changed, If the situation changes, Sun Zhuo and the Magic will have no chance of winning the championship.

It is impossible for a team to have such luck twice in a row. This season, it will be a greater challenge and proof for the Magic.

The performances of Kobe, McGrady, James, Wade, Anthony and others are also highly anticipated.

Sun Zhuo has already become the MVP of the regular season and the MVP of the finals, and is already known as the best player in the league. Will these stars who can compete with Sun Zhuo in terms of personal strength be stimulated and explode?

Also, what kind of changes will happen to each team in the league before the trade deadline?

The preseason games are about to start at the Orlando Magic Training Center. The whole team is gathered together. Sun Zhuo, as the leader, is calling everyone to talk to them.

Sun Zhuo stood opposite them, looking at the old and new teammates in front of him. In fact, this year's Magic is not much different from last year. The main lineup has not changed. Howard, Nelson, and Turkoglu are all there. Last season, the Magic played shooting guard. Stevenson is gone, and this season they drafted Paul Millsap.

Sun Zhuo looked at the whole team and said: Brothers, the new season is about to begin. I think we should still remember that we were the championship last season. This season, we have only one goal, to successfully defend the title! Last time To win the championship this season, many people said that we were lucky and we could only win the championship because our opponents were weak.”

That's the result of our prayers together. Howard snickered and whispered to Millsap next to him, who looked dumbfounded.

Yeah! Be serious. Sun Zhuo reminded Howard with his eyes, and then said, I don't care what others think of us, we are the championship team, and this year, we will show them again, so, from now on At the beginning of the season, we have to show the strength of the championship. Of course, before that, we have to play every preseason game well. There are some new players in the team. I hope you can integrate into this team as soon as possible, whether you are the first Whether you enter the league in one year or play for several years, you have to grow up quickly, because this season, we want to reach the finals!

Championship! The other Magic players were also excited. For a group of young people, how can a championship be achieved?

Very good, now we have a practice match. Dwight Howard, Paul Millsap, Jameer Nelson, Turkoglu, Danny Granger, you five are in a team. Sun Zhuo wants to try what everyone has There is no improvement, especially the strength of newly added Paul Millsap.

Seeing that Sun Zhuo gave Howard all the powerful ones, Howard smiled and said: You can't beat the five of us, Sun.

Sun Zhuo smiled and said, You'll know after a dozen.

Sun Zhuo is paired with Monta Ellis, Ariza and two newly added players of average strength.

Sun Zhuo's team is mainly attacked by Sun Zhuo. He wants to try the strength of the defensive combination of Howard + Millsap first. Sun Zhuo can be said to be the top scorer in the league at present. If Howard and Millsap's The combination can restrict Sun Zhuo, and it should also have a good effect on other star players.

First, Sun Zhuo's team attacks. Sun Zhuo is holding the ball on one side and Danny Granger is guarding him. Sun Zhuo is thinking: Should I dunk Howard first?

Sun Zhuo's dunking ability has been directly upgraded from S to SS. He could dunk Howard from behind when he was at S level before. Now it should be easier to dunk from behind. He also wants to test his dunking ability and let his teammates know in advance. , your boss has become stronger again!

Whoosh!

Sun Zhuo changed direction, passed Granger and went directly to the basket!

Just when Sun Zhuo wanted to jump and go straight to Howard, Paul Millsap suddenly jumped in front of Sun Zhuo, causing Sun Zhuo to fail to fully take off and make a hasty shot.

This kid reacts so quickly! Sun Zhuo, who was as strong as the MVP, was shocked because he didn't expect Paul Millsap's reaction speed.

The ball hit the basket and bounced back, and the rebound bounced towards Sun Zhuo. Sun Zhuo could fight for the rebound, but unexpectedly, at this time, Paul Millsap had completely blocked Sun Zhuo with his body, his eyes focused on Looking up at the position of the basketball, Sun Zhuo wanted to take a step forward, but he couldn't!

This guy... Sun Zhuo was shocked again. He suddenly rushed over to help defend, and then blocked shots to interfere. After Sun Zhuo took action, he quickly turned around and used his body to block Sun Zhuo's path, and got into position to grab the rebound. , this series of defensive actions is very sophisticated and perfect.

Not only does he have good consciousness, but the most important thing is that he really has this ability. He is not tall, but he is strong, has good speed and jumping.

Interesting. Sun Zhuo knew that Millsap would be an All-Star player, and he didn't treat him as an unknown rookie. Now that Millsap has shown his strength, Sun Zhuo's fighting spirit has been further stimulated.

Millsap wants to perform well in front of the team's boss. He knows that the team's Danny Granger, Trevor Ariza, and Monta Ellis can be reused just because Sun Zhuo values ​​​​the Magic. Sun Zhuo's team and coaches don't have as much say as him. Millsap really wants to let Sun Zhuo know that he is very strong and is more than just a second-round pick!

The rebound is mine! Millsap jumped up to get the rebound and complete a successful defense, but...

Snapped.

Even though Sun Zhuo was not in the most advantageous position, he still took advantage of the spotting bug and got the ball first from behind Millsap.

What? Can you encounter this? Millsap was obviously too naive.

After a penalty kick, Sun Zhuo and Millsap took off again and grabbed the ball again. In fact, at this time, Sun Zhuo was able to move the ball to his side and then occupied the most advantageous position to get the rebound.

However, Sun Zhuo did not do this.

Sun Zhuo's shot still went straight up and down, allowing Millsap to always have a chance to compete for rebounds.

In this way, Sun Zhuo and Millsap took off four times in a row. Finally, Sun Zhuo got it, and Millsap was already breathing heavily.

This guy can really fight. Sun Zhuo looked at Millsap and smiled.

Even Millsap's teammate Howard was secretly laughing: Sun is obviously playing with him.

At this time, Sun Zhuo challenged Millsap one-on-one. Instead of using his speed to get past him, he wanted to test his strength and beat him. Millsap was very tenacious and did not regard this as a practice match. , used his strongest defensive strength to defend, but in the end he was still shot by Sun Zhuo.

Good defense. After Sun Zhuo made the shot, he praised Millsap. With this series of defense, Sun Zhuo could score goals, but it took a lot of energy and stamina. Millsap could make Sun Zhuo feel strenuous and make other players feel tired. Stars feel the same way.

Thank you, boss. Millsap thanked him with a serious look on his face. Unlike Howard, who loves to laugh, he has always been very serious, especially now that he is only a second-round pick, unlike Howard who has already After becoming famous, he didn't have the capital to talk and laugh.

Next, it was Howard's team's turn to attack. Without Sun Zhuo, Howard was naturally the strongest core in the team. When the ball was given to him, he quickly turned his back and passed the defender, ran directly to the basket, and dunked with both hands!

Snapped!

Sun Zhuo and Ariza teamed up to stop him, but Sun Zhuo still hit him on the arm, causing Howard's ball to fly out.

Howard's dunk was very powerful this time and the ball bounced very far.

Sun, you're a thug. Howard complained to Sun Zhuo.

Sun Zhuo shrugged. He did not deny that Howard was too strong and Sun Zhuo could not stop him without fouling.

Howard will become even more terrifying this season. He is the guarantee that we can defend the title. When he dunked the ball just now, I really felt the dominance under the basket that only O'Neal can bring. Sun Zhuo sighed with emotion. Wow, after the training and growth last season, Howard has really become stronger!

Just when Sun Zhuo was looking forward to Howard's performance this season, he didn't even notice that the ball Howard dunked was caught by Paul Millsap. Because it was a casual hit, the foul was not counted and the game continued. In progress, at this time, the ball actually reached Paul Millsap's hands!

I saw Millsap getting the ball and rushing directly to the basket for a one-handed dunk!

Ariza wanted to step forward to block the shot, but... he was dunked!

Wow!

There was a burst of exclamation at the scene, and Paul Millsap shocked everyone.

Is it so fierce? Sun Zhuo was very surprised. Although Paul Millsap said in the information that he was the same height as Sun Zhuo, both 2.03 meters, in fact, Sun Zhuo was still taller than Paul Millsap. One or two centimeters, Millsap's figure is strong rather than light. It's quite shocking to be able to dunk others so easily.

This guy can do it. Sun is really good at reading people. On the sidelines, coach Hill, who continues to coach this season, smiled and nodded.

Paul Millsap played very seriously, making everyone become serious. The inside combination of Howard and Millsap was very threatening. Even Sun Zhuo would not be easy to score under their defense.

After a practice game, everyone was very tired. Sun Zhuo felt very happy, and the joy in his heart was greater than the physical fatigue. Howard grew up. While Monta Ellis helped Curry grow, he himself also improved. After a lot of changes, the team added Paul Millsap.

This season, I will see who can stop us from defending the title!

On November 1, 2006, the Magic played the first regular season game of the new season at home against the Chicago Bulls.

Today's opening game also has a different meaning for last season's championship Magic team. Today David Stern came to the scene in person to award championship rings to Magic players.

This is Sun Zhuo's second championship ring.

The glory belonged to last season. Now that the new season has begun, the Magic will start to focus all their energy on this season.

Guys, today we are going to show our momentum as defending champions and let our opponents have a taste of our strength. Do you hear that? Sun Zhuo ordered to his teammates before the game. He did not plan to appear in the first game of the regular season. His SS dunk ability, but the team must surprise everyone.

Today's opponent, the Chicago Bulls, has Ben Wallace this season and has become a strong team in the league. Although Hinrich has no outstanding news, he can give the team the best pass. Ben Gordon and Luol Deng is the two guns of the Bulls, and Nocioni also performs well from time to time. It looks like he will perform well this season.

Not long after the game started, Sun Zhuo's old rival Ben Wallace, who had just joined the Bulls, came over and said to Sun Zhuo: Sun, the Bulls have become different this season. I joined here, don't you still treat me like this? This team thinks it’s easy to deal with.”

Sun Zhuo smiled disdainfully and said, You say that, it makes me seem like I was afraid of you before.

Soon, Sun Zhuo immediately started to score!

This season, even if there are still a few All-Star players around him, Sun Zhuo will win the scoring title again.

It had been too long since he had performed in the NBA. Sun Zhuo was very excited and couldn't stop him when he scored. The Bulls had long known that they had no one who could guard Sun Zhuo.

Stop him quickly! Ben Wallace shouted loudly from behind when he saw Sun Zhuo completing another steal.

Sun Zhuo was very fast and dunked directly on the fast break. However, when dunking, Sun Zhuo hesitated for a moment. Should he do a windmill or other fancy moves?

Sun Zhuo has done similar actions before, but a dunk made with an S-level ability is completely different from a dunk made with an SS-level ability, even if the action is the same.

boom!

In the end, it was an ordinary dunk without any performance.

We'll meet the Cavaliers soon, let's wait a little longer. Sun Zhuo was not in a hurry to show off his dunking ability.

Not only Sun Zhuo has improved, but Howard has also improved. Ben Wallace, as a defensive hero, was a little helpless against Howard today, allowing him to dunk several times in the paint.

In the main lineup, the Bulls were completely stunned by the Magic. The Bulls fell behind by 15 points in a single quarter.

In the second quarter, I didn’t expect the Magic’s bench to perform as well!

Paul Millsap, a rookie who only joined the NBA this year, actually played like a star player, making few mistakes and causing Bulls players to suffer in the paint. Nocioni was forced to foul him twice in a row.

Is this guy really a second-round pick? Nocioni looked at Millsap, a little flustered.

In addition, Monta Ellis' three-pointers were unstoppable today. He made consecutive three-pointers to expand the score. Coupled with Ariza's use of his height and long arms to steal from time to time, the Magic led the Bulls by 26 points in the first half!

Is this the strength of a championship? The Magic's first game shocked all the audience!
