Chapter 466: finals!

"Does Charles think the same?" The host Ernie looked at Charles Barkley.
Barkley spread his hand and said: "Kenny Smith makes a lot of sense. When you lose to a person in the finals, you don't want to lose to him again, especially for a guy like Kobe, who is extremely prosperous. However, the Lakers also have their problems. Bynum missed due to injury. Their players are not as tough as the Celtics. Think about it. Under the Celtics' tough defense, Sun all scored 70 points. I Dare to guarantee that the Lakers have no way to get the Sun. Kobe is also a scorer of the same level, but the Magic have a very good defender, Ron Artest. When he played in the regular season, he let Kobe is very uncomfortable. In the finals, he will limit Kobe to a certain extent. I think whether it is personal data or the final result, it will be biased towards Sun and the Magic. Although I dare not imagine, but I think magic is really May have three consecutive championships."
In fact, Ernie is also more inclined to see Sun Zhuo three consecutive championships. He hopes that Sun Zhuo will be the first person in the league to add a little more legendary color. He can stand side by side with the greatest players earlier. He can’t wait to see that scene. , Ernie boldly assumed: "If this year's finals, really, as Charles said, the Orlando Magic won the championship, then Sun will certainly take FMVP, there will not be any other possibility. , Then I would like to ask, where should Sun’s historical position be at that time?"
Kenny Smith thought about it, he really hasn’t thought about it yet, what hasn’t happened yet, he always doesn’t want to waste time thinking about it,
Sun has entered the league for four seasons and has three championships and two finals. The most valuable player, if he wins again this year, is the four championships, three finals most valuable players, plus two regular season most valuable players, I think Sun Jin has no problem in the top ten in history."
After saying this, Kenny Smith looked at Charles Barkley with doubt, and Barkley was more determined than Kenny Smith. "Undoubtedly, old man, Sun is definitely the top ten player in history. Now, the top ten players in history, can Larry Bird be? He has three championships, three regular season MVPs and two FMVPs. Sun is already above him, Sun still has so many scoring champions, he is still The slam dunk contest champion, he is still so young, he will definitely get the MVP again, this is sure."
Ernie couldn't help feeling: "A player who has only played in the league for four seasons can be compared with those who have struggled for more than ten years. It may only be a matter of time before Sun replaces Michael Jordan, depending on whether Kobe can stop him. A moment."
...
Sun Zhuo is so young that he has reached the finals for the fourth time, and his honor has already been ranked among the predecessors who entered the league earlier than him, including Kobe Bryant, who just took the regular season MVP this season, many people He is waiting for him to reach the top and become the first person in history. I am afraid that at that time, it will be a long time before he retires...
At this time, Kobe in Los Angeles found Phil Jackson, the Zen master, and the two talked privately about Sun Zhuo.
The visit of the Zen Master to Kobe was unexpected. He received him in the courtyard and sat with him to drink tea. Kobe had heard about this life style of Phil Jackson, but he was not used to it, and did not think that Phil was deeply mysterious. .
Bryant said bluntly: "Let me have a personal showdown with Sun. I want to prove that I am the strongest in the world at the highest level."
Phil Jackson was very calm after hearing it. It seemed that he had already guessed that Kobe would have such an idea. Phil said: "The current grandson can be said to be the strongest scorer form in the history of the NBA, with a layup and fast break. Dunks, emergency stops, midrange shots, and three-pointers in various positions. He has no weaknesses. In any position, he can take shots against anyone. I know this must be stimulating to you. You want to know. Who is the strongest one."
Phil Jackson doesn’t think Kobe’s decision is naive. It’s a realm pursuit that ordinary players can’t understand. Kobe and Sun Zhuo have won several championships. The championship is not rare for them. Champion, Kobe wants to know who is stronger than him and Sun Zhuo. Just like the attitude he showed when he first saw Jordan, he wants to challenge the strong. This desire will not be much worse than the desire to win the championship.
"Is it okay?" Bryant asked.
Zen Master nodded: "Then the first game, that is our home field, Sun will definitely do his best to win a game, he will give you the best confrontation."
The Zen Master had a calm smile on his face. He didn’t feel any surprise or displeasure because of Kobe’s request, nor was he forced to do so because he was afraid that Kobe was a superstar.
Kobe had a conflict with the Zen master before. Even if he cooperated again, the previous things seemed to be still in the middle, preventing the two from becoming more intimate.
Kobe did not expect the Zen Master to agree to his request so easily, perhaps out of gratitude, perhaps because he really wanted to know more about what was hidden under the calm face, and Kobe continued to talk about other topics: "Listen to Jenny Say, you were rebellious when you were young, do you miss you back then?"
Phil Jackson smiled and leaned back, saying: "Hippies and rock bands began to appear in the United States in the 1960s, and young people at that time also began to have long hair, XD, and jiao. You know Jack Kerouac (Author of "On the Road")? In 1969, after his death, young people like me were riding motorcycles and cars on the road of Dean Moriarty (the character of "On the Road"), From a basketball court to a nightclub in a bar, the target of venting hormones has become a lady girl. Instead of running and shooting, smoking and riding motorcycles."
"You're still sleeping with your boss's daughter. At that time, you hadn't divorced your second wife. Haha, I really didn't expect people like you to be called'Zen Master' now." Kobe said what the current Lakers boss is Daughter Jenny Bass.
"Haha." Phil Jackson also smiled and said, "Actually, I really visited a real "Zen Master". I remember that at that time, he didn't speak, only gave me an empty glass, let me pour water, Then I started to do what he said, but he didn’t stop when the water overflowed."
"And then? What did he say? What did you ask?" Kobe stopped when he saw Phil Jackson saying that he was curious about what happened next.
Phil Jackson smiled and said, "I didn't ask, nor did he say that after I watched the water overflowing the glass, I ran freely on the smooth mirror-like tabletop, and then I threw the kettle away and laughed away. Go out."
"Then you became another'Zen Master', haha, congratulations, you guys are really mysterious to listen to, I definitely can't do it, it's me, I will ask clearly what the mixed ball is going to make me When will the water be poured!"
"Hahaha." Phil Jackson also laughed with Kobe.
At this time, Bryant also slowly stood up: "I should go, it is a pleasure to chat with you, Phil, I will bring you another championship."
Kobe turned around and took a step. Phil Jackson suddenly looked serious: "Kobe, whether you believe it or not, if you want to win the grandson, you have to rely on my help."
Bryant snorted and left.
...
American time, June 5.
The Staples Center Arena in Los Angeles ushered in the first game of the Finals.
Since Sun Zhuo was also a Lakers player before, the Lakers fans were not hostile to Sun Zhuo.
Today's game, the audience is also bright, not only because this is the finals, against Kobe and Sun Zhuo, the two strongest players in the league, and they are at the peak. Such a matchup is a once in a lifetime. Not any great star has the chance to play in the finals.
Off the field, you can see the big names in any field, and the tickets have soared to sky high, even O'Neal and Wade have come.
After the players from both sides entered the field, Sun Zhuo and Kobe, the old partner and old friend, smiled at each other after meeting and couldn't help walking to greet each other.
"I'm really happy that your opponent is you." Bryant said with a smile.
Sun Zhuo also held Kobe's hand without any hostility. "I know you want to fight me, not the three Celtics guys. How can I disappoint you?"
"Haha, I like the current state, 0:0, everything has not started yet, once it starts, it must be divided into a victory and defeat to end." Bryant became a little bit emotional.
Sun Zhuo didn't speak. He could see that Kobe's desire against him, Kobe definitely wanted to defeat himself, whether it was an individual or a team.
On the sidelines, O'Neill and Wade sat together. Although the two were no longer teammates, O'Neill had been traded to the Phoenix Suns. In fact, when O'Neill said he wanted to be traded, he gave the team a hint that he wanted to go to the magic Team, the Magic also really want to get O'Neill, let O'Neill and Sun Zhuo partner again.
However, Pat Riley prevented this from happening, saying that the Magic do not have what he wants.
"Look at it, D-WADE, based on my knowledge of Sun and Kobe, their matchup in the Finals this year will be the best in history, and no one in the history of the Finals has such a strong scoring ability. This will be more exciting than the previous year's duel." O'Neill said to Wade coldly.
Wade smiled: "Of course I guessed, otherwise, you will not return to your former home to see the ball."
Wade knows that the relationship between O'Neal and Kobe has not improved. Now the Lakers are Kobe's team. O'Neill, as a member of other teams, is willing to come to the scene. There must be something wonderful he doesn't want to miss.
O'Neill looked at Kobe and Sun Zhuo on the field and said to Wade: "The reason I came here is mainly because the two strongest guys in the world were once my little brothers!"
"..." Wade looked at O'Neill with emotion.
O'Neill said: "I don't want to be a center in my next life. I'm 36 years old and I'm not at the peak anymore. Players like Michael Jordan, Kobe and you. At 36, should I still be able to score at will?"
Wade smiled, knowing that O'Neill wanted to continue his peak state, and did not want to be forgotten early, so he said comfortingly: "Shaq, after all, you have been brilliant, no one can match you when you are at its peak. you."
O'Neill is still sentimental: "But now, people only remember Kobe and Sun, and don't think about it. Maybe, after many years, people will gradually forget Kobe and Sun, and only enjoy Stephen Curry or which new era player's game. ."
"Haha, why do you say Stephen Curry?" Wade understands O'Neill's meaning, the predecessors are great, and will be forgotten over time, everyone is chasing the latest star, but the future successor mentioned by O'Neill The name, but the thin Stephen Curry who didn't make a name, made Wade curious.
At this time, O'Neill also smiled: "Haha, it was Sun who said that this kid will become a superstar. I just mentioned it casually, not really referring to him. I don't think the future NBA will fall to the point where he can dominate. Degree, hahaha."
O'Neill and Wade laughed and talked, and the game started soon.
Lakers start: Kobe Bryant, Paul Gasol, Derek Fisher, Lamar Odom and Radmanovic.
Magic starters: Sun Zhuo, Monta Ellis, Ron Artest, Kevin Durant and Marc Gasol.
This final, unlike the previous Eastern Conference finals against the Celtics, was not as aggressive as before, and it was not hard to vent as soon as it came up. In this series, there will not even be a sentence between Sun Zhuo and Kobe. Respect each other's rubbish.
However, such a finals, fierce and wonderful, is no less than the Eastern Conference finals just ended.
Phil Jackson has a deep gaze, looking at Kobe and Sun Zhuo on the field, both of whom were his former disciples~EbookFREE.me~ This can't help but make him feel emotional, these two now lead their teams to the finals The guy, was once on a team.
"I can't believe that they didn't win the championship in the season they cooperated with." Phil Jackson couldn't help but sigh. Sun Zhuo and Kobe were in a team and lost to the Spurs in the playoffs.
Sun Zhuo at that time was not as powerful as it is now. If Sun Zhuo's current strength and partner with Kobe were absolutely invincible.
After the game started, Kobe Bryant's first goal, facing Ron Artest, showed a super urge to score.
"I will block you in this series." Artest told Kobe that Sun Zhuo wouldn't spam with Kobe like Pierce and Garnett, it doesn't mean Artest wouldn't do that. His fun is to block the ace players on the opposite side.
"You can try this season, I will let you know the difference between ordinary people and great."
Kobe's first goal, a quick breakthrough, and then stopped after a sudden jump shot!
"The great showdown is about to begin!" Phil Jackson secretly said.
