Houston, Toyota Center.
Sun Zhuo's consecutive three-pointers broke the stalemate, and the Rockets were in trouble. Together with the fact that the score was already 1:3 behind, the Rockets and the Rockets fans at the scene were almost in despair.
"No, it's not true, did the Rockets end this season? We clearly maintained the score from start to finish in this game. We defended Shaq and Kobe very well, and even Karl Malone could not completely defeat us. But why did Sun suddenly rise? Is he always the best three-pointer in the Lakers?" A fan felt the approaching elimination, and he excitedly held his head, unwilling to believe this fact, He didn't understand how Sun Zhuo's three-pointer was so powerful, no one realized it in the first few games.
"Yao..." Francis also panted, he struggled for a whole game, exhausted already, he never expected to be defeated by Sun Zhuo's three-pointer.
Throughout the game, both sides were defensive, the scores were very close, and the difference between the points reached five points, which was enough to make them feel strenuous. Sun Zhuo made several consecutive three-pointers and directly increased the difference to double digits. , This blow is huge.
Yao Ming knew what Francis wanted to ask, but he shook his head helplessly and replied: "I don't know, I guess it's a coincidence."
Francis would like to ask Yao Ming, whether Sun Zhuo's three-pointer has always been so strong, according to Yao Ming's understanding of Sun Zhuo, naturally not.
Sun Zhuo hides his dunk talent, and indeed Yao Ming does not know, but the three-pointer is not a gift, but a cumulative practice. In Yao Ming's impression, Sun Zhuo never insisted on training three points.
Phil Jackson was also overjoyed. This wave of rhythm was brought by Sun Zhuo, but it was Phil who gave Sun Zhuo the opportunity to take rhythm. Phil thought to himself: "I really hope that in the next series, Sun can still have In this state, if he can become a qualified outside pitcher, he won't be afraid of winning this season."
After Sun Zhuo brought out a wave of advantages, the Rockets had no choice but to quickly catch up with the points difference, but the Rockets did not yet have a super star like McGrady who can shoot a three-pointer, and Francis' three-pointer this season Thirty percent, Mobley and Jackson's three-point shooting rate is okay, but they are not stars, this is destined that they can not do the miracle of McGrady chasing 13 points in 35 seconds.
In the end, the Lakers had no suspense, defeated the Rockets with a total score of 4:1, and advanced to the second round of the playoffs!
"yeah, won!" The Lakers players cheered for a while, and Sun Zhuo was also very happy. He can laugh heartily today, because today he is not lying down to win, he is contributing.
As soon as the game was over, O'Neill first walked to Sun Zhuo and praised him: "Good job. Today's victory has your great credit. You can now hit Ron Artest's face hard."
Sun Zhuo put his hands together and calculated the statistics of the five playoffs a little, laughing: "I'm afraid I have to wait. Now I'm averaging 9.6 points, less than 10 points, but playing one more game. , That's all."
"I believe you can do it, brother." O'Neill patted Sun Zhuo's head.
After that, Sun Zhuo also said goodbye to Yao Ming opposite him for the first time.
This is the first time Yao Ming has participated in the playoffs, but ended up with such a defeat. Anyone is uncomfortable, but Yao Ming is still very generous to congratulate Sun Zhuo: "Congratulations, you played well today, I have become more and more adapted to the role of the team. I hope that you will be able to shoot accurate three-pointers like today during the Olympics."
Sun Zhuo didn't know if this kind of hit rate could be copied to the Olympic stadium today, and said with a smile: "I try my best, and I wish you the next vacation, and wait for me to fight with you in Athens!"
"Okay, I'm waiting for you! I wish you the championship!" As soon as he mentioned the Olympics, Yao Ming also regained his fighting spirit.
After the Lakers and Rockets series ended, the Pacers star Artest, who had already swept the opponent four to zero, still showed disdain in the face of Sun Zhuo's excellent performance. He said that Sun Zhuo could hit so many three consecutively. It was definitely a fluke to score the ball, and the Lakers' next round opponent Spurs had already swept the opponent four to zero. Even if Sun Zhuo did not play, the Lakers will eventually win. Sun Zhuo's role in the entire series is equal to zero .
In fact, in the past life, the Lakers did defeat the Rockets 4:1 without Sun Zhuo, so Artest's words have also been recognized by many people, because the combination of O’Neal and Kobe, even if the Rockets are swept For granted.
After the game, the Lakers returned to the locker room. O'Neill put his arm on Sun Zhuo's shoulder and continued to brag about his ace brother. "Listen, Sun has become an outside shooter. I have suppressed inside, and he is in Shooting three points from outside, we won't have a little trouble winning this year, haha."
"I think Sun is already the most accurate three-point shooter in our team, so I hope that Gary Peyton, Derek Fisher and Kobe Bryant can minimize the number of three-point shots. The opportunity is given to Sun, is he more confident than you, isn't he?" O'Neill didn't have a chance to brag about Sun Zhuo in the first few games. This time he spoke tirelessly.
Gary Peyton and Fisher naturally dare not have any opinions, but Kobe does not like to listen to this. Although the Lakers won the series, the internal contradictions are still not resolved, and it is impossible to solve it. Even if this season wins, Kobe And O'Neill will certainly separate ~EbookFREE.me~ What do you say? Sun is the best three-pointer on the team? Only then won the first round of the series, are you excited to be confused? Kobe sneered.
O'Neill explained: "Oh, I have no word, the data can tell everything. Kobe, your three-point shooting this season has dropped a lot from last season, only 31% or 32, but you know that Sun's three What is the percentage of hits? Probably 80% or 90%?"
Sun Zhuo's three-pointer was almost missed today, especially efficient, and Kobe's three-point shooting rate has indeed declined a lot this season, last season was 38.5%, this season has only 32%.
Kobe has been greatly affected by his mentality this season. Under the irritability, fighting for rebounds and layups is more fierce than last season, but the long-range shooting rate has dropped. However, Kobe is not an easy to admit after all. So, on the spot, Sun Zhuo wrote a battle book: "Sun, how about we compare three-pointers? Just now."
"Better than three points?" Sun Zhuo felt himself lying inexplicably.
Kobe knew that Sun Zhuo did not dare to easily compete with himself, so he said: "This season is coming to an end. We haven't even had a serious contest. This time we only shot three points, and we didn't have any defense. How about open shots?"
Without waiting for Sun Zhuo's promise, O'Neill first took the fight for Sun Zhuo: "Okay, Sun, you will compare him with him by three points."
In O'Neill's view, Sun Zhuo's three-pointer was hot today, and Kobe Bryant made all three three-pointers, so Sun Zhuo should have a bigger win.
So, Sun Zhuo was also chased by the ducks and went to the basketball court with Kobe again. Phil Jackson also followed him. He also wanted to see Sun Zhuo defeat Kobe.
