The finals got a high score of 40 points. In the entire NBA history, few people can do it, and even Kobe has not done it now, but Sun Zhuo has completed this achievement ahead of Kobe.
After this game, Sun Zhuo gained two potential points, and Sun Zhuo still added all the potential points to the dunk.
The ability 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 powerful. Sun's opponent, Sun Zhuo wants to cherish the opportunity now.
After the game, the Lakers locker room was full of joy.
"Today's win is so enjoyable! You didn't even see the end of the game, Larry Brown's terrible complexion, haha, they thought their defense was the first in the league, but today we are at their place, taking It’s been more than a hundred minutes! Sun, you’re indispensable!
O’Neill said excitedly, reaching out to pat today’s hero Sun Zhuo.
Sun Zhuo scored 40 points, which can be said to have completely taken away the light that originally belonged to O’Neal and Kobe. However, O’Neill did not mind. At least it was not Kobe who came out to save the team, and O’Neill did not regard Sun Zhuo as an FMVP competitor. To see.
Kobe’s jealousy is a little bit heavier. After the game, everyone is praising Sun Zhuo, plus the songs of Sun Zhuo and Mike Xintian are so hot, this game can be said to be remembered by the world. Sun Zhuo's name, Kobe's edge is completely covered up.
However, Kobe did not think that Sun Zhuo had the intention to grab the FMVP. After all, Sun Zhuo's first two games had average data. If Sun Zhuo really had this ambition, he would have exposed all his abilities in the first game of the finals. How can he get 20 in the first two games? +.
Moreover, Kobe believes that Sun Zhuo's outbreak has 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 is Kobe and O'Neal. Kobe and O'Neill both believe that Sun Zhuo's average stats cannot threaten them both.
Therefore, in the next two days, Sun Zhuo got along well with Kobe and O'Neill.
……
After losing the third game, the Pistons weren’t much better. Larry Brown kept his face down during the team’s second day of training. He turned the Pistons into the league’s strongest defense team, but this One time, it suffered a complete defeat.
Larry Brown has a golden sentence called "THERIGHTWAY" to do the most correct 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, there was a guest in the arena. His appearance stopped all the Pistons players from moving their hands. When they saw this person, they were as respectful as their coaches. ,even more.
"I haven't seen you for a long time." Popovich suddenly appeared in the Pistons' training hall and smiled toward Larry Brown. He was very respectful and humble, and did not take out a little Spurs champion coach.
"Oh, why are you here?" Larry Brown was surprised to see Popovich and shook hands with Popovich.
"I'm here to learn from you." Popovich said modestly.
Larry Brown smiled, "Don't say that, you are already a very successful coach."
The two chatted a few words, and Larry Brown and Popovich went to the office and chatted separately.
Larry Brown sighed: "As you predicted before, this rookie Sun is indeed a trouble. If it wasn't for his crazy performance in the third game, now it's 2-1 to take the lead. It's definitely us, I originally thought Don't let the game return to Staples."
Popovich also said with a serious face: "Is there any countermeasures now?"
Larry Brown said: "His three-point shooting in the corner is terrible, but the three-point shooting in other positions is average, and even a little dare not to vote, I will still let Hamilton or Prince stand alone against him, no Let him speed up and not let him threaten the basket. In the last game of his 40 points, few goals were actually scored. Many of them showed a particularly good chance. He will not play again in the next game. So lucky."
Popovich nodded and said: "I believe you will do well on defense, but on offense, Sun seems to see through your routine."
Larry Brown frowned: "This guy dared to give up his position to steal the cover, and he can guess right every time. Our players don't notice it every time. This is really very nerve-racking."
Popovich smiled and said: "Since he likes to take the initiative to attack, steal, and block, then you should welcome him. Don’t forget, he is just a rookie, not accurate. Can win."
"Do you mean...making him foul?" Larry Brown understood the meaning of Popovich, instead of letting Sun Zhuo scare them on the court, it might be better to get Sun Zhuo off the court.
After all, Sun Zhuo played in the NBA for the first year. Although his scoring ability is already very good, he is still a rookie in terms of errors and foul control.
Furthermore, if the Pistons want to deliberately foul Sun Zhuo, even if Sun Zhuo is a veteran for many years, he can't bear it.
Larry Brown said: "Hamilton can make Sun 3-4 fouls per game, let him strengthen the offensive, then seduce him a bit, let him make six offenses is not difficult, and, since he likes to prejudge so much, I can give He creates some offensive traps, doesn't he like to steal? Then wait for him!"
"I really want to see your tactics now." Popovich smiled.
"You seem to be looking forward to our defeat of Sun, a rookie, as far as you attach such importance? To be honest, he is far less powerful than Allen Iverson in his rookie period." Larry Brown didn't quite understand why Popovich was right Sun Zhuo is so concerned.
Popovich said: "In the series against the Spurs ~ EbookFREE.me ~ he did not show his speed, which, to me, is a shame."
Larry Brown nodded, and finally realized that the proud Popovich had been hit by Sun Zhuo's "hidden ability".
……
On June 13, 2004, G4, Auburn Hills Palace Stadium.
This ball will likely determine the direction of the series. Once the Lakers win another game, they will get the match point, the Lakers who got the match point, plus the home advantage of the last two games, basically can win the game. So this game is very important for the Lakers.
In the same way, the Pistons must prevent the Lakers from getting the match point at the Pistons' home. They must fight for a tie and then return to Los Angeles with a 3:2 lead. Even so, they may not be able to ensure victory. Because the last two games are the Lakers' home.
Before the game, Larry Brown told all players that they must cherish the few homes left. When the game is transferred to Los Angeles, they will miss all this.
After the players from both sides entered the stadium, everyone was still very serious. Only Sun Zhuo looked relaxed. It seemed that the outcome of this game was irrelevant to him.
"Do you want to continue to use the game repeat challenge card? If you continue to use it, then it doesn't matter whether you win or lose in the next game." Sun Zhuo's calm and calm posture is not like the first time to participate in the finals.
"Son, Sun, it seems that he is not nervous at all. Does he think they can beat us this time? Too delusional!" Rashid Wallace glanced at the opposite Sun Zhuo. He remembered that the last Sun Zhuo made him six. Commit a hatred.
"Rashid Wallace still seems to hate me, well, he used to chat with him." Sun Zhuo also saw Rashid Wallace, so he walked in his direction.
