Super Legendary Superstar

Chapter 257 Defeat the Spurs!

"How could this happen? The Spurs wanted to take revenge on the Lakers so much. At the end of the first half of the first game, why were they not leading by a big score, but trailing by one point? Where did the problem come from?"

Artest really couldn't understand it. Although it was only halftime, the Spurs were still more likely to win in the second half, but Artest had to be cautious because he had already found the donkey.

Popovich certainly knew where the problem was. He was chased wildly by the Lakers in the second quarter because the Lakers' two superstars showed off their power. Kobe Bryant scored consecutive goals, and Sun Zhuo kept grabbing offensive rebounds to help the Lakers succeed in their second attack.

"Muhammad, did you not eat today? Why were you unable to get backcourt rebounds several times in a row and were snatched away by Sun Yat-sen?" Popovich felt it was necessary to hit Muhammad.

Muhammad was also frustrated. Sun Zhuo's bounce was too fast. Even if he had the advantage of height, he couldn't touch the ball immediately.

"I'm sorry, coach, I must control the rebound in the second half to prevent him from grabbing it again." Muhammad said.

At this time, Ginobili said: "Actually, we can't blame Muhammad. Sun's rebounding is indeed much better than last season's duel."

Duncan also nodded, he also realized this problem.

Popovich said angrily: "I don't care how much this guy has improved. In short, we can't let him steal our backcourt rebounds as he pleases. We can't let the Lakers counterattack. This victory belongs to us!"

At the beginning of the second half, the Spurs united and quickly took the lead.

The Spurs' offense was so terrifying that the Lakers couldn't resist it, so Sun Zhuo had to stop the Spurs' offense in the second half.

Sun Zhuo has long believed that Tony Parker will be the breakthrough in this game. Parker is in poor condition today. If he wants to take more shots, he must let his emotions burn.

Very strong. Parker made a passing error. Sun Zhuo immediately stepped forward and said deliberately: "Tony, actually I have always wanted to tell you that you are more suitable to be a coach than a player. Sometimes your thoughts It’s nice, but you don’t have the skills to pull it off.”

"Hahaha." Parker laughed twice without looking at Sun Zhuo, but he heard these words in his heart.

Sun Zhuo knew that Parker had a high emotional intelligence and would not talk trash to him easily, so he just said what he wanted to say that could affect him.

"I think the best point guard in the NBA should not only have good organizational skills, but also have good three-point ability and breakthrough layup ability. Your scoring is too lacking. In a few years, you will be eliminated. .”

Parker knew that Sun Zhuo was deliberately trash-talking him, but these words did affect him. After all, Sun Zhuo is now an All-Star player. It is very shameful to be looked down upon by a player of this level. Parker doesn't think so. His own three-pointers and breakthrough layups are not good.

Therefore, in the next attack, when his teammates had no chance, Parker first chose to attack by himself. Due to Parker's poor condition today, the Spurs' success rate was far lower than that in the third quarter. Although the Spurs were ahead, they were already Got bitten hard by the Lakers.

"Tony was really in bad shape today, why did he still shoot like that?" Popovich was a little worried off the court, but he has always trusted Tony Parker and believed Parker could handle it well.

In the last minute of the third quarter, after Parker missed another shot, Sun Zhuo grabbed the rebound and quickly followed Kobe. Sun Zhuo and Kobe's twin fast break threats can be said to be the most terrifying existence in the league. Both have strong finishing abilities and can fly and dunk. The opponent simply doesn't know who to focus their defense on.

Kobe dribbled the ball first, and after attracting the defense, Kobe passed the ball to Sun Zhuo who followed up. After receiving the ball, Sun Zhuo took off and dunked, completely ignoring the Spurs players in front of him. The Spurs players were also helpless. They knew that Sun Zhuo How powerful is his dunk? As long as he rushes over to block such a ball, it's 2+1.

"The Lakers' fast break is still very good." Artest sighed with emotion, and suddenly looked at the score, and the Spurs fell behind again!

"Damn it! Why are the Spurs lagging behind again! What the hell did they do? It's almost the fourth quarter!"

Sun Zhuo fought for his reputation today and did not take a break during the entire third quarter because he knew that this quarter was crucial. The Lakers were now leading by 2 points. The Lakers defended another Spurs goal. Sun Zhuo then made the last attack for the Lakers. Among them, he once again used BUG to hit a goal steadily, extending the advantage to 4 points.

After three quarters, the Lakers still lead the Spurs.

"Leading at halftime and still leading in three quarters, the Lakers can't really win..." Artest was already sweating on his face.

In the Spurs dugout, Popovich also said something to Tony Parker, asking him to reduce the number of shots he took, and told Ginobili that you can play more. The fourth quarter seemed to depend on Ginobili.

"Ginobili was in really good shape today. I had guarded him for a game just now, but when we played again, he still scored a lot of points in the third quarter, but his long-range three-point shot was really not good today. It didn’t work just now, and it still doesn’t work now, so you can let it go.”

Sun Zhuo has been specifically guarding Ginobili. Because he did not dare to commit too many fouls, he still allowed Ginobili to score a lot of points. Next, he will still not use too tough methods to stop Ginobili, but use A more laissez-faire attitude.

Ginobili caught the ball in the right corner and took a tentative step to test Sun Zhuo. Sun Zhuo pretended to be deceived and took a step back. Ginobili immediately took advantage of the gap and shot a three-pointer.

boom.

Shoot the iron.

Soon, Ginobili faced Sun Zhuo at the top of the key and wanted to break through, but Sun Zhuo gave him space to shoot a three-pointer. Ginobili hesitated for a moment and felt that it was safer to shoot a three-pointer, although he was not hit. What a distraction, but the ball didn’t go in again! And it pops directly out of bounds.

"Damn it!" Ginobili was so angry that he wanted to hit himself. Now that the Spurs were lagging behind, he wasted so many opportunities to take action.

Artest was so angry that he wanted to rush onto the court and beat Ginobili. Artest shouted from the sidelines: "You've already made 1 of 6 from the three-point line! Did you do it on purpose, you bastard? You are An actor!"

The Lakers have extended their advantage to 8 points, and Popovich suddenly doesn't know what to do, as if he has the same powerless feeling he had when facing the Lakers last year.

"Tony Parker wasted too many offensive opportunities, Ginobili took too many outside shots, and Muhammad missed several offensive rebounds. Our defense against the Lakers was relatively successful, but we made too many mistakes. If If you lose, you can’t blame others.”

Sun Zhuo also began to relax. He didn't need to score too many points or make too many efforts on the offensive end. As long as he contained the Spurs' offense, winning would be a matter of course.

The next time, Sun Zhuo misplaced his defense against Bruce Bowen. Bowen only took one shot in the whole game today. Sun Zhuo didn't believe that he could have the touch, so he completely let him go and let him shoot!

"Don't guard against me?" Bowen also took action immediately. This was a gamble, but Sun Zhuo won again.

Bowen missed the shot and the ball bounced very far. Sun Zhuo and Kobe cooperated again and scored on the fast break.

The Spurs were not defeated by the Lakers, but by themselves. The more they played, the less motivated they were, and finally lost the game!

Artest felt a little hot all over his body. He sat there with an expressionless face and secretly said in his heart: "Fortunately, Sun didn't know there was a donkey outside."
