Chapter 488 When Hua is getting old, give it a go!

TN.T.

"Just like Hakeem Olajuwon predicted in 1990, there will be a player who combines inside and outside in the future, he can play any position, and that kind of player will be the best in history. I think Sun fits the bill very well. this condition."

ESPN.

"MJ once said that if he was asked to be another player in the league, he would choose Olajuwon, and Sun does not need to use this assumption. With his existing body, he can be an outside player and an inside player at the same time. Players, and both of them are top-notch, Sun is only worse than MJ in the number of championships, from a personal level, he is already a more comprehensive and outstanding player than MJ."

……

Because of Sun Zhuo’s words, now you can watch some TV programs, and you can hear these fresh remarks at any time, especially the “Olajuwon” who said these words, after Sun Zhuo really played inside, He is full of praise for Sun Zhuo, Sun Zhuo is the type of player he has been looking forward to, although he doesn't know why he is looking forward to it so much.

……

"Congratulations, you have successfully exchanged ten special training card fragments for one special training card!"

"Congratulations! The defensive rating has been raised from S to S+!"

After successfully challenging Olajuwon in the legendary game, Sun Zhuo also got another special training card. He continued to improve his defense. This season, he wanted to let the whole league know how good he is in defense.

In a few days, the Orlando Magic visited the Houston Rockets. In the past few years, whenever Sun Zhuo played Yao Ming, CCTV [-] would definitely broadcast it, and the ratings were very high. Because of the relationship between Sun Zhuo and Yao Ming, the Magic and the Rockets played For Chinese fans, like their own team, they can name some players even if they are not very famous, let alone players like Tracy McGrady and Durant.

In this game, Durant and Westbrook also want to perform well, because they know that China has a large group of fans who watch the NBA. Durant's performance last season won many fans in China, and Westbrook also imagined Durant Special same.

Before the game, Sun Zhuo greeted his old friend. He had just won the Olympic championship with Yao Ming. Yao Ming had more respect and admiration for Sun Zhuo. Sun Zhuo and Mai Di also knew each other since Sun Zhuo’s rookie season. Sun Zhuo Zhuo still remembers when he and Maddie first met...

At that time, he and Kobe went to get tattoos and found McGrady. McGrady was the No. 1 Magic at that time, and when he was in the best figure, Sun Zhuo only admired and admired McGrady at that time. He felt that McGrady exuded endless chic and light, but Now……

McGrady isn't even an All-Star anymore.

"T-mac, today I will defend you exclusively, I may be cruel to you." Sun Zhuo greeted McGrady in advance, it seemed like he was joking, but Sun Zhuo was serious, he now has S+ defensive ability , if he wants to get the best defensive player, then his task every game is to defend the player with the strongest scoring ability on the opposite side.

Maddie, who grew a beard, laughed and replied: "You are cruel to me every time."

The smile at this moment lasted until several years later. When he was the host of ESPN, in the past few years, every time McGrady met Sun Zhuo, it was a big scene of gods fighting. McGrady was also stimulated by Sun Zhuo Created amazing data.

"It's not the same, TRACY. Today, I'm really cruel." Sun Zhuo was still serious. In the past, he did what McGrady did because heroes cherish heroes. He knew that McGrady's peak period was too short, so he seized the only few times Hand over the phone and fight him every time.

Actually, that's not cruel at all.

After the start of the game, Sun Zhuo focused on McGrady, and McGrady avoided his edge first and did not confront Sun Zhuo head-on. The Rockets had Yao Ming, and they could rely on Yao Ming to score points at the beginning, but slowly, Marc Gasol defended very well , the Rockets fell into a scoring drought, and McGrady had to make a move.

"Toyota Center is still your territory, T-MAC, come on!" Sun Zhuo was provocative to McGrady at this time.

McGrady has a smile on his face, which is what makes him different from other stars. When facing challenges, he is chic enough, and this is what Sun Zhuo appreciates about him.

After getting the ball, McGrady suddenly raises his hand high and lifts the ball above his head. This is actually a fake shot. McGrady usually faces shooting guards who are shorter than him at the second position, so this trick sometimes It worked, but Sun Zhuo was about the same height as Maddy, or even taller, and he was familiar with Maddy, so he wasn't fooled.

After feinting, McGrady pulled the ball down and made a beautiful dribble to get rid of the turn, and the fans even exclaimed!

McGrady also felt that he did a good job.

however.

Snapped!

Sun Zhuo broke the ball at once!

"Is Sun's defense so good?" Mai Di panicked and ran forward anxiously to catch up with Sun Zhuo. He knew that once Sun Zhuo made a fast break, he would be at lightning speed, and Mai Di's speed might not be able to chase him. superior.

With McGrady's current state, it is naturally impossible to catch up with Sun Zhuo, but Sun Zhuo deliberately slowed down and let McGrady run ahead of him.

Then near the free throw line, he deliberately changed from a frontal attack to a back-to-the-basket attack. Everyone was also surprised. Sun Zhuo didn't choose a fast break at the first time, but used relying on hitting.

In fact, at Sun Zhuo's level, one-on-one, no matter what method he chooses, he can score. The reason for doing this is just to talk to McGrady more.

"T-MAC, you can't turn around me so slowly. I'm the best defender in the league. Every time you attack, you should give full play to your strength." Sun Zhuo said while hitting McGrady to force him to retreat. Said.

McGrady is not convinced: "You are never the best in the league..."

McGrady wanted to say that Sun Zhuo had never been the best defender in the league. At this time, Sun Zhuo was already in a very comfortable position. Suddenly, he reversed and made a shot. McGrady also quickly got up to block the shot. LeBron James couldn't block or interfere with Sun Zhuo's shot, let alone McGrady, who is no longer in his peak jumping state.

Sun Zhuo made an easy shot.

Yao Ming, who was far away in the other half, saw this scene and felt in his heart: "Sun is indeed a little different from before."

What Yao Ming refers to is different, not the difference in Sun Zhuo's defensive ability. Sun Zhuo's defensive ability is better than before. This is obvious to all. He is talking about Sun Zhuo's attitude towards McGrady.

Although Yao Ming and Sun Zhuo are both Chinese and have won two Olympic championships together, Yao Ming knows that Sun Zhuo has a better relationship with another person at the Toyota Center and the Houston Rockets. In particular, that person is McGrady.

McGrady will still have many one-on-one opportunities with Sun Zhuo in the following time, but every time, McGrady can't score when Sun Zhuo is strictly defending.

Then, at the end of the half, under the defense of Sun Zhuo, McGrady scored no points in the half!

This surprised the commentators of CCTV.

Yang Yi and Yu Jia commented on the game. Yu Jia asked: "Is Sun Zhuo's defensive ability so strong? McGrady is a superstar. He was once the league's leading scorer. Even now, he averages 20 points per game. There are also some points, but I didn’t expect Sun Zhuo to score 0 points in the half, and I faced Sun Zhuo several times, all of them were hit.”

Yang Yi felt emotional: "Sun Zhuo's defensive ability has really improved, and it has improved unconsciously, unlike his offensive ability, which suddenly appeared in a game and shocked the world. I think he defended one-on-one. The sense of oppression is particularly strong. You can clearly see that under the defense of Sun Zhuo, a star like McGrady has become unable to attack. It is difficult for you to get rid of him in a simple way. McGrady has recently In two seasons, the decline has been serious. He is no longer the star who can score 50 or 60 points in a single game with Sun Zhuo. However, in terms of his ability, 0 points in the half is not enough. Sun Zhuo defends No matter how great the improvement is, it has not reached that level. No one in the world can prevent McGrady from defending against him. The key is McGrady's own problem. In terms of offensive desire, he is not enough."

Rocket locker room.

McGrady shot all the shots in the half court, and he was very bored at this time, and everyone didn't dare to mention this matter, but Yao Ming said with a smile: "Sun seems to be sure of you today."

McGrady wiped his face with a towel and said, "This guy is always challenging me in various ways and embarrassing me."

Yao Ming shook his head and disagreed with McGrady: "Tracy, Sun is not targeting you, he really admires you. I feel that he has better feelings for you than for me. Maybe he wants to stimulate you in this way. This season, you're going to be an All-Star again."

"Hehe." Mai Di unconsciously picked up a bottle of water next to him, drank a couple of sips, and recalled the scenes of fighting against Sun Zhuo several times in his mind.

He didn't know whether what Yao Ming said was right or what he thought was right. He only knew that the second half would be very tiring, and he didn't want to face this kind of exhaustion.

In the second half, Sun Zhuo still wanted to block McGrady with S+ defense. On the one hand, he wanted to announce to the world that he was one of the strongest defenders in the league. On the other hand, the reason why he was so cruel to McGrady whom he admired was because He just wanted to stimulate McGrady, he didn’t want to see McGrady gradually disappearing from the fans’ sight, scoring 40, 30 points to 20 points or even a dozen points in a game, and then being traded away by the Rockets, going to various teams. , and eventually quit the NBA.

McGrady is only 28 years old now, which is the peak age of a star.

McGrady knew that it was not easy to score against Sun Zhuo in a one-on-one situation through strength, speed or skill. He had to adopt other methods, such as letting his teammates cover to cause a change of defense, for example, drawing a foul.

But even so, McGrady's scoring was still very dismal, and at the end of the third quarter, he only had a poor 7 points.

The atmosphere in the entire Toyota Center was very bad. They could see that McGrady had been completely blocked by Sun Zhuo. The headed star was so weak, which made them very disappointed. They even felt that McGrady was no longer suitable to lead the team.

Yang Yi also said during the commentary: "Actually, Sun Zhuo's intention of doing this today may be to tell everyone that McGrady is no longer suitable to be the leader of the Rockets. Yao Ming should need a new partner."

Yang Yi seldom said good things about McGrady.

Under Yang Yi's personal and subjective remarks, many Chinese fans really feel that Sun Zhuo is targeting McGrady, embarrassing McGrady, and venting his anger for compatriot Yao Ming.

In fact, as Yao Ming said, Sun Zhuo likes McGrady more than Yao Ming.

He never cared about the boss battle between McGrady and Yao Ming, whoever has the ability will be the boss, Sun Zhuo, an outsider, will never stand against anyone, and McGrady's influence on Sun Zhuo's playing style is something that Yao Ming does not have.

Seeing that McGrady was so defended by Sun Zhuo that he didn't dare to make a move, Sun Zhuo was very disappointed. He saw giving up in McGrady's eyes. Today, Sun Zhuo has already surpassed Kobe, but even so, every time he fights against Kobe , it is impossible for him to see that Kobe will be willing to surrender to him.

In the last 3 minutes of the fourth quarter, McGrady took the ball again, and Sun Zhuo came over to him immediately and said to him: "Do you want to take a leap of faith, or become an old man, filled with regret , waiting to die alone?"

Are you willing to give it a go, or wait until you grow old, full of regrets in your heart, and go to hell alone?

McGrady was shocked, he knew this sentence, it was a line from "Inception" directed by Sun Zhuo.

"Give it a go? Or wait for the old age to live the rest of your life with regret?"

McGrady never thought about this issue. He entered the NBA at the age of 18. He has been in the NBA for many years. He thought he would stay in this league for a long time, and he never thought about being eliminated.

But today, Sun Zhuo reminded McGrady.

Suddenly, there was some exclamation in the silence of the scene.

In fact, the score had already been drawn, and the game didn't seem to have much suspense. The commentator was about to call it a day, but Yu Jia suddenly exclaimed: "Oh? McGrady catches the ball with one hand?"

After catching the ball with both hands, after hearing what Sun Zhuo said, McGrady changed to catching the ball with one hand. This is an action that McGrady hasn't done for a long time.

"Yo, good posture." Yang Yi laughed and teased Maddie.

Sun Zhuo also laughed, he was full of joy, although he might continue to ruthlessly defend him, break his ball or give him a big hat.

Mai Di suddenly forced Sun Zhuo, and Sun Zhuo hurriedly retreated to keep up.

"Strike hard! McGrady can't fight!" Seeing that McGrady wanted to beat Sun Zhuo by force, Yang Yi was not optimistic about McGrady's attack, because McGrady is now inferior to Sun Zhuo in terms of speed and strength.

Sure enough, McGrady couldn't get rid of Sun Zhuo at all. McGrady pulled back and retreated to the three-point line. Might still be ironing.

But this time, McGrady didn't hesitate.

Whoosh!

"Did McGrady make a shot?" Yang Yi even felt that McGrady shouldn't have shot this basket.

Snapped!

Sun Zhuo wanted to block McGrady, but he didn't expect McGrady to take such a decisive shot this time. He hit McGrady's hands and was called for a foul, while the basketball slowly slid to the basket. McGrady was not sure about this shot. , but he believed in himself, especially since he wanted to give it a go.

Swish!

McGrady hit 3+1!

The whole person was already lying on the floor because of Sun Zhuo's block.

Before the Rockets players came to pull McGrady, Sun Zhuo stepped forward first, and pulled McGrady up with a smile. McGrady also stretched out his hand for Sun Zhuo to pull him up. After standing up, he said to Sun Zhuo: "You will be in the See me at the Phoenix All-Star Game!"
