Super Legendary Superstar

Artest is a player who will not succumb or admit defeat. He has never stood on the stage of the finals before and played for the first time in the finals. He feels that he now feels like a superstar In the future, he will be included in history like Scott Pippen or Rodman, and mentioned by future generations.

"You have nothing to do with me, Kobe." Artest said proudly and arrogantly to Kobe.

But the fact is obviously not the case.

Kobe has one defense, and when the height is similar, no matter whether the opponent is a speed type or a skill type or a power type like Artest, they can defend well because Kobe itself is a very comprehensive Players have speed, skill and strength. The most important thing is to have a strong attitude.

Under Kobe's aim, Artest couldn't even catch the ball on his next attack.

"Kobe Bryant and Ron Artest are so entangled! I didn't expect Kobe to defend Artest so seriously!"

Kobe's defense against Artest is so fierce, which further promotes Artest's desire to compete and becomes more eager to catch the ball than before, while Artest is a person who often does not have a sense of proportion. When he tried to push away Kobe, he accidentally used excessive force and was seen by the referee, who punished Artest for a foul.

"What?" Artest grieved, and he didn't think this level of confrontation was worth anything.

"The referee helped you once." Artest said to Kobe.

Soon, Kobe let Artest know that if he wanted to guard someone, he didn't need the referee to help.

When Kobe really wants to defend a person, he will not passively defend. He will take the initiative to attack. As a natural attacker, he will also want to attack when defending.

Artest dribble is average, speed is average, so Kobe just after Artest got the ball, while defending, he stretched out his hand and made a steal, forcing Artest to quickly and nervously resist, waiting for Artest Stern wanted to move again, and Kobe attacked again, causing Artest to consume time all the time.

In this case, unless Artest has a strong determination or a fast speed, he can break through Kobe's defense at once, otherwise, slowly consume this, Artest may not be able to break through Kobe's defense, but instead Time is exhausted.

Facts have proved that under Kobe's strict defense, Artest failed to hit another goal, and did not even have a shot. The narrator even called Kobe's defense a bite-type defense.

On the sidelines, some fans couldn't help but ask: "Why didn't Kobe defend Sun himself, and then use this kind of defense? Are you afraid of losing energy?"

Many people have looked at Phil Jackson. Kobe’s physical fitness is unexpected. He should not be treated as a normal player. Kobe is obviously the Lakers team who can best prevent Sun Zhuo. Kobe took the offensive and allowed Kobe to defend Sun Zhuo, even if all his physical energy was exhausted.

The Zen master felt that he was in a mood and could not share it with everyone.

"Just because of physical fitness? Obviously not." Phil Jackson knows Kobe and Sun Zhuo better than anyone else, and also knows clearly that if Kobe defends Sun Zhuo, Sun Zhuo can never score 70 points in a game.

"Physical fitness is one aspect, the number of fouls is one aspect, the most important thing is that when Kobe comes up with a crazy defense like he just treated Ron Artest, if Sun can still score goals, it will be a blow to Kobe. It’s too big, and Kobe can’t stand the loss.”

Imagine that when a person puts out all their strength to do one thing, the result is futile. How frustrating will that be? This will even affect Kobe's performance on the offensive end, so the Zen Master is unwilling to let Kobe to defend Sun Zhuo because Sun Zhuo's personal offense is too strong.

However, from this field alone, even without Kobe's main defense, Sun Zhuo's personal offense was not satisfactory, and the offensive efficiency has decreased compared to the previous two games.

The same is true for Kobe of the Lakers.

Kenny Smith said: "When Sun and Kobe attacked, the opponent's entire team formed a conditioned reflex. They increasingly knew how the two men should attack, how they would choose to shoot, and even predict the approximate position of the rebound. In addition, the two of them were focused on defense, and their scoring will become more and more difficult. Next, it will be the moment when the role player dominates the game. Which side of the role player scores more can also explain Sun and Kobe's personal threat."

Except for Sun Zhuo and Kobe, the scoring ability of the other players of the two teams, the Lakers and Magic are actually similar, but in this game, it is obvious that the role players on the Magic side score more.

First there was Artest, after that, Monta Ellis also hit a three-pointer from time to time, Turkoglu also had an outside three-pointer, and Marc Gasol also slowly scored inside.

On the contrary, the scoring stability of Odom, Fisher and others is not enough.

This is not all a problem of the role players themselves, but the different defenses they encounter. In other words, Kobe and Sun Zhuo have different degrees of threat to their opponents. The greater the pressure these two giants put on their opponents, their Teammates can score better.

Finally, in this game, the Magic won the first home game of the Finals with the team playing well, and the Finals score was 2:1.

In the case that there is still a challenge card in the game and a 2:1 lead, Sun Zhuo has already won, and the Lakers should start to feel a sense of crisis.

Although they did not know that Sun Zhuo had repeated challenge cards in the game, they did have a sense of crisis at this time, because the next game is still the home of the Magic, and once the next game is won by the Magic, they will get the game point.

Everyone knows what it means to be scored by Sun Zhuo.

If it weren't for Sun Zhuo's second season, the Lakers only had Sun Zhuo and Kobe Bryant, and Sun Zhuo might become the first undefeated monster in history.

After the game ended, when he returned to the locker room, Bryant looked downcast. Although this is only the third game in the series, the Lakers still have a chance, but Kobe knows Sun Zhuo too. Once Sun Zhuo takes the lead, it is absolutely Will not let the other party catch up.

"The next game, let me stare at the audience." Bryant said to Phil Jackson.

Phil Jackson also nodded: "I always have this idea. You must pay attention to the number of fouls on the one hand, and be mentally prepared on the other."

Phil Jackson didn't say it clearly, but Kobe and others knew what kind of psychological preparation the Zen Master had prepared for Kobe. Sun Zhuo scored too much, and it was easy to prevent confidence from collapsing. For others, it may be used to, but For Kobe, can he bear such a blow?

For example, Sun Zhuo scored 60 points on his head in a game? Seeing Sun Zhuo shooting and dunking in front of him again and again?

"I will admit in my heart that he is a superstar who can score 60 points in a game. All I have to do is stop him as much as possible, let him increase turnovers, and not give him the chance to pass." Kobe paused. The tone said softly.

When Kobe finished speaking, the entire locker room was completely quiet. Odom, Fisher and others looked at Kobe with surprise. Kobe even confronted Sun with such a low profile and such a humble attitude Zhuo?

Phil Jackson was also surprised, but then smiled and nodded. If Kobe had such an attitude, then Kobe would be invincible in the next game.

"He threw away his pride. This guy, Sun, is the only one who can change Kobe's attitude. Even Michael Jordan couldn't do it..."

The Zen master sighed that since Kobe faced Sun Zhuo in such a gesture, no matter how many points Sun Zhuo scored on his head, it would not affect Kobe’s mentality, and thus Kobe’s offensive performance.

Sun Zhuo didn't know that Kobe's top scoring ability in history had forced Kobe to admit defeat.

...

Soon, it was the fourth game of the finals.

"Take this game and get the match point. I didn't lose when I got the match point." Sun Zhuo can't wait to end the finals and then win the championship again.

Because he won another championship, he has completed three consecutive championships. Historically, it is not that there are no teams to complete three consecutive championships, like the Bulls Dynasty and the Lakers Dynasty. But when they completed the three consecutive championships, the core lineup was still there, even There are reinforcements every year, but the magic is different. The Magic's lineup this year is too shabby. If you can complete the dynasty for three consecutive championships, then Sun Zhuo's historical status will rise to the top ten.

As soon as the game started, Sun Zhuo planned to take the lead to gain the lead, but at this time, he was surprised to find that the person standing beside him was Kobe Bryant.

It's not surprising that Kobe came to defend Sun Zhuo, but when Sun Zhuo saw Kobe's defensive posture, he felt that the people in front of him were strange, as if he had changed from a superstar to an ordinary role player. Sun Zhuo didn't know why there was This feeling may be from Kobe's eyes, maybe something else.

Because he was defended by Kobe, Sun Zhuo also became cautious, not only because Kobe was a better defender, but also because Kobe was the top card star for the Lakers. Every attack would bring Kobe a psychological impact, and, Sun Zhuo can also increase the number of fouls Kobe Bryant, once Kobe early burdened with foul trouble, then everything is much simpler.

On the field, every time Sun Zhuo takes a step, Kobe will respond accordingly, and Sun Zhuo does not attack hastily, and seems to have been thinking about the way of attacking.

Magic coach Stan Van Gundy looked at the situation on the court, but was also worried: "Kobe Bryant's defense made Sun's offense more complicated, Sun thought more, no longer so purely want to score points, If Sun Neng wished to increase Kobe’s fouls, that would be a good thing, if he couldn’t...”

Stan Van Gundy has watched Kobe playing for many years, and he is also witnessing Kobe's growth every year. Kobe's experience is above Sun Zhuo, which is certain.

In several consecutive attacks, Sun Zhuo tried every means to consume Kobe and lure Kobe, but they were unsuccessful, and Sun Zhuo did not complete the scoring under such circumstances. Kobe’s defensive scale can be said to be extremely accurate .

"This is the most classic defensive mode, Kobe is really an underestimated defender." Charles Barkley praised.

"However, defending Sun is an extremely physical drain anyway. Will Kobe's offense be affected as a result?" Kenny Smith worried.

From the previous two quarters, Kobe has a lot of physical energy distribution, knowing how much effort should be spent on defense, how much effort should be spent on offense, but that is Sun Zhuo has not been crazy, once Sun Zhuo really entered the state, forcing Kobe in physical and mental At the time, could Kobe play the same value on the offensive end?

In the third quarter, Sun Zhuo was no longer polite, suddenly showed his power and started shooting Kobe two three-pointers in a row!

Every ball of Kobe is sealed to the face like Battier, completely blocking Sun Zhuo's sight, but Sun Zhuo can still hit, because of fear of fouls, Kobe's defense does not dare to have any physical contact with Sun Zhuo, which also leads to Sun Zhuo's consecutive shots and shots cannot be stopped.

"Strange, Kobe didn't tell me a **** today." Sun Zhuo had already scored 36 points, but found that Kobe, who was playing against him, was so silent throughout the game.

Even if the two are friends privately, but today there is so much confrontation and there should be so many confrontations, it should not be so silent.

"Kobe's attitude today is really not easy." Phil Jackson disliked Kobe for the first time in history. Kobe has always been stronger. When Kobe was still weak in the league, he had to be strong enough. Phil Jackson never thought about it in his life. He will have a distressed day for Kobe, not at the end of Kobe's career.

"What's wrong with you today? It's a bit different from your usual time." Sun Zhuo told Kobe, Kobe had already made Sun Zhuo 4 mistakes in this game, blocked Sun Zhuo once, stealed twice, Kobe himself 28 points into the account.

Kobe didn't reply at first. After a while, Kobe said to Sun Zhuo: "Sun, you are a superstar."

Hearing Kobe's words~www.NovelMTL.com~ Sun Zhuo didn't quite understand.

Until Sun Zhuo scored 40 points, Kobe's mentality remained unchanged. He still treated him defensively as always, and endured defensive consumption to desperately make fouls on the free throw line.

Sun Zhuocai gradually understood.

"I'm a superstar, have you admitted that I can win you, but can't win the game?" Sun Zhuo asked in his heart, how can Sun Zhuo be worse than others?

Since the first season, the two have been in a team. Kobe is more domineering than others. Sun Zhuo is the most knowledgeable. He is as strong as Sun Zhuo's genius with a BUG and a system. In a city like Los Angeles Kobe was squeezed away.

Think about the heads-up between the two before, Kobe is fighting endlessly with Sun Zhuo, and Sun Zhuo is not allowed to win at all. If Sun Zhuo wins, then continue to compare, until Kobe wins, or until both Can't get up.

Thinking of this, Sun Zhuo thinks the outcome of this game is not important.

Because, in Kobe's mind, he finally admitted that Sun Zhuo was stronger than him.
