Super Legendary Superstar

You can't tell from Bill Walton's praise of Sun Zhuo before the game whether he really appreciates Sun Zhuo, but you can clearly feel Bill Walton's denial of Sun Zhuo after the game, especially his My son was completely outclassed this season.

There are four games today. In addition to the Lakers and Rockets, the Spurs in the West easily defeated the Grizzlies and won their first victory. The Pacers in the East defeated the Celtics and are very likely to win the Eastern Conference championship. The Knicks were defeated by the Nets.

After the Pacers defeated the Celtics, Jermaine O'Neal and Artest were interviewed by reporters after the game. They were asked if they had considered the next round of opponents or even the championship. Artest Te Hao said: "We are the best team in the league this season, and our goal is the championship. I think we will meet the Los Angeles Lakers in the finals. They have Shaq, Kobe, Karl Malone and Gary. Payton, but we’re going to win in the end, and listen, man, we’re going to win this season!”

Artest mentioned all five of the Lakers' starting players, but did not mention Sun Zhuo's name. It seemed that he deliberately wanted reporters to mention it. The reporter actually said: "You seem to have forgotten that the Lakers also have a super rookie. Sun Zhuo, he caused you trouble in the regular season."

"Trouble? Haha, don't you know that after I came back from suspension, we won consecutively? Sun is still a rookie. Just look at his performance in the first playoff game and you will know that the playoffs are a completely different stage. He is here It won't have any effect. I think everyone overestimates Sun's ability. He has been winning since the beginning of the regular season. He can also score points in the regular season. Everyone can't see this, but in the playoffs you It can be seen from the data alone that the Lakers' victory has nothing to do with him. I don't think he will average more than 10 points per game in the playoffs." Artest also learned about the Lakers immediately after the game. The situation of the game is very clear about Sun Zhuo's performance in the first game.

"What if he averages more than 10 points per game?" The reporter vaguely felt that there was big news to dig up and continued to ask.

Artest laughed and said, "Then I'll learn from Charles Barkley and kiss the donkey's ass."

The big-mouthed Charles Barkley's bet when he underestimated Yao Ming was also used by Artest. After Artest finished speaking, he added: "I'm talking about the entire playoffs, not just the series against the Rockets. Sai, and I’m sure I wouldn’t really do something so stupid like Charles.”

Artest's words to Sun Zhuo from a distance immediately caused an uproar, especially in China, which aroused the anger of Chinese fans.

"Before it was Charles Barkley, and now it's Ron Artest. Why do you like to look down on Chinese players so much?"

"What kind of charm does a donkey's butt have that attracts so many people to kiss it?"

Sun Zhuo also quickly read the news and knew what Artest said to him. In terms of Phil's current positioning for Sun Zhuo, unless he can throw in a few three-pointers every game, otherwise, averaging 10 points per game is still It may not be possible.

In the playoffs, it is impossible for Sun Zhuo to have a chance to score points, and it is almost impossible to get the ball. In order to win, the Lakers will resolutely beat O'Neal and Kobe. The third choice is Karl Malone, and then Sun Zhuo. Although Phil knew that Sun Zhuo had the ability to dunk from behind, Sun Zhuo's speed and ball control were not good enough. Even if he made a double turn, the ball would be taken away by his opponent before it reached the basket.

After returning home in the evening, Sun Zhuo went to the basketball court in the yard alone and continued to practice alone.

Not long after, agent Emma drove a car to Sun Zhuo's house.

"I just guessed that you would be practicing alone tonight." Emma heard Artest shouting to Sun Zhuo and called Sun Zhuo. Sun Zhuo didn't answer, so she drove directly to find Sun Zhuo.

This time, she did not forget to bring her sportswear and sneakers. She picked up the prepared "sparring equipment" from the trunk. Emma said: "Wait for me for a few minutes. I will change clothes and train with you. I can bear it tonight." You don’t change your posture from beginning to end.”

"...Emma..." Sun Zhuo was still very moved. As an agent, she didn't need to do such a thing, she just needed a few words of comfort.

A few minutes later, Emma changed her clothes and shoes, walked to the basketball court, and looked at Sun Zhuo: "What do you need me to do tonight?"

Sun Zhuo threw the ball to Emma, ​​"Pass the ball to me. I am an out-and-out role player now and need to practice more fixed-point shooting."

As Sun Zhuo's agent, Emma felt a little dissatisfied when she heard that her player was left out: "Why? You have such good jumping ability, wouldn't it be better to attack the basket more?"

Sun Zhuo has done similar things in the regular season, and the results are good, and he often makes amazing moves, but today is different from the past. Sun Zhuo explained: "The reason is very simple. The first point is that my speed is not fast enough. After the season The opponent was very defensive, and I couldn't get rid of the opponent's defense immediately. Secondly, my ball control was not good enough. If I couldn't get rid of the defense with speed or strength, I had to turn around or change direction. This will increase the probability of mistakes. Although Shaq's number of shots this season is a record low, his field goal percentage is the first in the league. With such a simple and efficient scoring tool, Phil will not Allow me to take risks."

Emma also sighed: "No wonder you admire the Heat's Dwyane Wade so much. I have also watched him play. His speed is indeed very fast. I believe that in the playoffs, it will be difficult for the opponent to defend one against the other." He, it would be great if you had this kind of speed.”

Emma thought that Sun Zhuo would never have this level of speed, but when it came to this, Sun Zhuo smiled faintly: "I will have it."

"Will there be one?" Emma didn't understand what Sun Zhuo meant. Could it be that speed, like shooting, would increase with continuous training? impossible?

Besides, Sun Zhuo himself is 10 centimeters taller than Wade, and his speed is definitely not as good as Wade's.

In Sun Zhuo's view, it is indeed not easy to reach Wade's speed. First of all, the speed of SF in the "NBA World" game is not as fast as that of SG. In other words, even if Sun Zhuo reaches the full level of 50, he may not be as fast as Wade. The speed is fast, but after using the special training card in the later stage, Sun Zhuo has the opportunity to increase his speed to the highest level.

"Stop talking, just pass the ball to me." Sun Zhuo doesn't want to think about things that are too far away. After his attributes are full, it will be time for Sun Zhuo to compete with these superstars, but now he has to do it The identity of this role player must be good, otherwise, he may even be abandoned as a role player.

As Sun Zhuo spoke, he immediately walked towards the right corner. When Sun Zhuoren had just reached the three-point line in the bottom corner, Emma's pass came just in time. After Sun Zhuo received the ball, he took action instantly and just listened. With a bang, the ball hit the net.

"Good shot!" Emma praised with a smile.

Sun Zhuo didn't take it seriously. He ran to the bottom corner on the other side and did the same thing. The ball came to the man. Sun Zhuo just came to the left corner. As soon as he received the ball, he immediately took action and hit the shot again. .

"Hey, your three-point shot from the corner is very accurate." Emma truly praised this time.

Sun Zhuo paused for a moment. He was also told by the assistant coach today that his three-point shooting rate from the corner was good. Could it be...
