Chapter 318 Playoff Game [-]!
James' record against Sun Zhuo in the regular season was refreshed to 7 losses and 0 wins, and he still failed to beat Sun Zhuo once. Originally, he had a good chance of winning today. If he could hit the key three-pointer instead of shooting a three-pointer If you stick to it, the result will be different. It seems that James' ability to shoot three-pointers and make key shots still needs to be strengthened.

Today is the last day of the regular season. Not long after this game, today's NBA schedule and the regular season of this season are all over.

In the end, the Orlando Magic became the champion of the Southeast Division with a record of 54 wins and 28 losses, and the second-ranked team in the East.

With an average of 38.8 points per game, Sun Zhuo has undoubtedly become the scoring leader this season. This is also the first time in his career that he has won the scoring leader.

"Congratulations on becoming the scoring leader this season, and you will be rewarded with a special training card."

While winning the scoring title, Sun Zhuo also received system rewards. However, Sun Zhuo did not rush to use this special training card. He thought about it for a while to see if he could get the regular season MVP. If he won the regular season MVP, he would definitely There are also special training card rewards, which Sun Zhuo can use together when he thinks about it.

38.8分的得分，也是超过了篮球之神迈克尔乔丹1987年的场均37.09分的记录，是近43年以来的场均最高得分，仅次于1962年张伯伦的场均50分和1963年张伯伦的场均44.8分，位列NBA场均得分历史No.3。

At the same time, with the height of a small forward of [-] meters, Sun Zhuo showed his fanatical pursuit of scoring. Generally, people of this size are rarely so obsessed with scoring. He has been the scoring champion, but after McGrady retired, he also revealed that he always wanted to show himself like Pippen. If it weren't for the injuries of Hill and others, he would not have become the scoring champion. He was forced to win the scoring champion.

Kobe is more in line with people's idea of ​​a scoring champion, and his scoring average is amazing enough. This season, he averaged 36.6 points per game, second only to Sun Zhuo. 2 points, the average increase of 36.6 points, I am afraid it is the result of Sun Zhuo's stimulation.

In addition to the scoring champion, Sun Zhuo also has a chance to win an honor, which is the regular season MVP trophy that all players dream of. The results of the regular season MVP will be announced in the second round of the playoffs. Now Sun Zhuo has no way to know result.

The regular season is over, and two days later, the playoffs will officially start, and the regular season rankings and matchup results have also been released.

West: The No. [-] Spurs play against the Kings, the Mavericks play against the Grizzlies, the Suns play against the Lakers, and the Clippers play against the Nuggets.

East: The No. [-] Pistons against the Pacers, the No. [-] Magic against the No. [-] Chicago Bulls, the Heat against the Wizards, and the Nets against the Cavaliers.

……

Orlando Magic training facility, two days before the first game of the playoffs between the Magic and the Bulls.

At this time, 14 NBA teams have been disbanded, and the players have gone back to their respective homes. Now it is a completely different time from the regular season.

There is still constant laughter in the magic training hall, which is no different from the regular season. The tallest Dwight Howard is the most cheerful one. His happiness can always be passed on to others. At this moment, for them, it is more It's the release at the end of the regular season, not the tension about the playoffs. Although Howard, Nelson and others entered the playoffs for the first time, they are more excited.

Sun Zhuo was not particularly worried about the next first round of the series. The Chicago Bulls are not considered a strong team. The two teams have their own victories and losses in the regular season. Especially without the two points of super center and super scorer, Sun Zhuo feels that the problem of promotion is not a big problem.

For the Bulls, only Tyson Chandler can compete with Dwight Howard, and the Bulls' scoring leader this season is Ben Gordon, who is one year later than Sun Zhuo. Ben Gordon averages 17 points per game, and Sun Zhuo's average Gordon's more than double that.

In addition, the Bulls' core lineup is as young as the Magic's lineup. Nocioni, Luol Deng, and Kirk Hinrich all entered the NBA in the past three years. Among the Bulls' top four scoring players this season, none One entered the NBA earlier than Sun Zhuo.

If they can't gain an advantage over Sun Zhuo in terms of experience and rely on ability, Sun Zhuo feels that they will have no chance of winning.

Therefore, Sun Zhuo's state is also very relaxed, waiting for the opponent's challenge with peace of mind.

……

On April 4, the first game of the playoffs, the Magic played against the Bulls at home. This game was also broadcast on CCTV.

Yu Jia: "Hello, audience friends in front of the TV. Today is the first day of the NBA playoffs. Teacher Su Qun and I will explain to you the familiar first game between the Magic and the Chicago Bulls. , In addition, the Rockets, which our Chinese fans are very familiar with, failed to make the playoffs due to too many injuries to Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady this season, and now the Magic can be said to be the team that our Chinese fans pay the most attention to.”

"Yes, because of Sun Zhuo." Su Qun adjusted his glasses, and then said, "Sun Zhuo's performance in the regular season this season, only in terms of scoring, can be said to be at a historical level. In the basketball emperor Chamberlain, ranked No.2 in the history of NBA scoring. "

"It can be said that one person is under one person and over ten thousand people!" Yu Jia said excitedly.

"That's right, you can see that Kobe also exploded this season, and he never beat Sun Zhuo in the end. Can you say that Kobe's skills, experience, or scoring ability are not as good as Sun Zhuo's? You can't judge like this. I think it is Sun Zhuo's stability. He is more aggressive. You can see how many shots he can make in each game, how many three-pointers from the corner, and how many fast-break counterattacks. In recent games, I have observed that Sun Zhuo has to Throw one or two chasing three-pointers, that is, in the fast-break counterattack, when the opponent has already returned to the defense, he will shoot directly at the three-point line without waiting for his teammates to get in position. If he can guarantee this in the playoffs If it is stable, there is no problem for the Magic to advance to the second round of the playoffs." Su Qun said.

Yu Jia smiled and nodded approvingly: "Yes, the Magic is a very young team. Except for Sun Zhuo, players like Howard and Nelson have never played in the playoffs, and they have only entered the NBA for two years. Fans, including the media, are generally not optimistic about the prospect of the Magic winning the championship, but if you don’t talk about the championship, if you just talk about this round, the Magic vs. the Bulls, I don’t think there is any problem. The Magic are very young and have little experience, and the Bulls are also young. Also inexperienced."

"The confrontation between the two young teams must have something unexpected in it." Su Qun laughed.

……

The Amway Arena, the Magic's home court, was uniformly dressed and the floor was marked with the playoff logo. Since Sun Zhuo joined the Magic, it was the first time he saw so many people at home.

When entering the arena, the audience gave Sun Zhuo the warmest applause. This applause represents the fans' unlimited expectations for Sun Zhuo. Sun Zhuo has done too many unexpected things for fans this season. I hope that Sun Zhuo can continue to create miracles. You know, the Magic have never won a championship.

There were many people wearing Sun Zhuo’s jerseys and holding signs to cheer for Sun Zhuo. Sun Zhuo is the absolute No. [-] star here, which is different from when he was with the Lakers. This is also the first time in his career to lead a team on his own. playoffs.

"Although I entered the playoffs every year in the first two seasons, now I always feel like I am playing in the playoffs for the first time, and I am very nervous." Sun Zhuo did not expect that he was quite nervous. He looked at Howard. The heartless guy played in the playoffs for the first time, still with a smile on his face, and he didn't look nervous at all. He didn't expect that he was not as good as a complete rookie.

Carey Mulligan also came to the scene to support Sun Zhuo. She just arrived in Orlando today. Sun Zhuo smiled and waved to her, and didn't deliberately go over to say hello to her. If he was unfamiliar, Sun Zhuo would do that, but Sun Zhuo and Kai Rui are in contact almost every day, and the relationship between the two is gradually developing into lovers, but they are more cautious in front of the public.

Before the opening game, Bulls coach Skiles gathered the players together and said to them: "We are a very young team, and so are our opponents. We have wins and losses with them in the regular season, and we are no worse than them. How much, the playoffs are completely different from the regular season, rankings are meaningless things, even if they are the first in the east, we can still crush them hard, listen, don't have any concerns on the court , put out your best performances and we will win, trust me."

Skiles didn't say these words just to cheer up the players. He really felt that the Bulls had a chance. Sun Zhuo is indeed very strong, but the playoffs cannot be decided by one person. On the contrary, the Bulls are better than the Magic. Relatively balanced, the Magic can't limit the Bulls' offense, and the Bulls' goal is too obvious to deal with the Magic.

"Nocioni, how are you?" Skiles asked Nocioni after speaking to everyone.

"I'm fine, coach." Nocioni replied slightly nervously.

Skiles knows the grievances between Nocioni and Sun Zhuo. As early as in the Olympics, Nocioni was defeated by Sun Zhuo. After entering the NBA, he was targeted by Sun Zhuo once. Skiles was worried about Nocioni Will be scared when facing Sun Joo.

Skiles patted Nocioni on the shoulder and said: "I said, the playoffs are a completely different game. It is different from all the games you have played, including the Olympic games. The outcome of a game It’s not important, individual wins or losses are even less important, what you need to focus on is the process of the entire series, we are playing away now, we have to show momentum, understand?”

"Coach, I won't let you down!" Nocioni is not a guy who admits cowardice, and the grievances in the past gave Nocioni the motivation to take revenge.

The game started quickly, the Magic started with Jameer Nelson, Deshaun Stevenson, Sun Zhuo, Turkoglu, Howard, and the Bulls started with point guard Ben Gordon, shooting guard Hinrich, small forward Nosy Oni, Malik Allen and Michael Sweetney.

"Not Chandler?" Sun Zhuo felt a little strange after seeing the lineup. If Tyson Chandler was not included, no one in the Bulls could match Howard in height.

Sun Zhuo tried to calm down his slightly nervous mood. When Sun Zhuo just got the ball in the first attack, the fans kept shouting, yelling to make Sun Zhuo rush. They didn't look like they were watching the Magic win the championship, but Wanting to see how Sun Zhuo performed and scored, some fans even started discussing with each other such a question:
Who has the highest scoring average in the NBA playoffs?

The Magic’s first attack, Sun Zhuo and Howard were on the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc. Sun Zhuo used the pick-and-roll to rush forward, attract the defense, and quickly pass the ball to Howard, who was running down. Howard also found that the opponent was not [-] The above players are very determined in their first offense in the playoffs, and they will dunk to the basket with the ball.

But the Bulls' defense is still good, plus Howard was a little nervous, the first goal was missed, but Howard followed up with a rebound by relying on his height advantage, and made a second attack, but unfortunately he missed again, this time , The rebound was taken by the Bulls.

"It's okay, I'll pass the ball to you again." Sun Zhuo stepped forward to comfort Howard, but Howard was a little depressed and didn't speak.

After that, it was the Bulls' turn to attack. The Bulls didn't have a real scorer. Ben Gordon is a combo guard, but his ability is far behind Westbrook and Curry, so Sun Zhuo didn't put him too far. Seriously.

The Bulls are indeed young. On the first attack, there was a pass error. Sun Zhuo got the ball and rushed forward. Opportunity.

However, although the Bulls were young and made mistakes, they were very active in making up for the mistakes. At the moment of the mistake, the Bulls all returned to defense. In the end, Sun Zhuo forced a fast-break layup and passed Nocioni and Hinrich. But was capped by Sweetney who was chasing after him.

Sun Zhuo's first fast break and counterattack failed.

"The Bulls return to defense really fast." Yu Jia said with emotion.

Su Qun said: "These two teams are very young, there will definitely be a lot of mistakes, and the rhythm will be fast. There will be a lot of fast breaks like this in this series."

Howard and Sun Zhuo didn't start well. Instead, the Bulls used Malik Allen to single out Howard. When Howard didn't dare to go too far, he hit the first goal of the game.

After playing for a few minutes, Sun Zhuo found that the Magic team became more and more passive, and the players became more nervous. This is the Magic's home game, and it should have been a game where the Magic had a complete advantage. Sun Zhuo didn't want to play like this, so he immediately used BUG, Let the Magic take the lead first.

After using two hit shots, the Magic were just about to take the lead, but at this time, Ben Gordon immediately stood up and shot a three-pointer, causing the game to continue to stalemate.

When Sun Zhuo was going to attack the opponent's inside line, Tyson Chandler, who was [-] meters tall, also appeared on the stage. Sun Zhuo stood with Chandler. This guy was half a head taller than Sun Zhuo. With Sun Zhuo's current dunk And layup ability, if you want to score in front of him, it may be difficult.

The first game of the playoffs didn't seem to be easy.
