Chapter 349 Run out of challenge cards!
Ray Allen made 269 three-pointers in a single season this season, breaking the NBA record, which made everyone think it was amazing, but in Sun Zhuo's view, 269 three-pointers in a single season are really not worth mentioning. But someone who has seen Curry make 402 three-pointers in a single season!

At this time, Ray Allen has already ranked second in history as the three-point shooter. He is the number one shooter in the NBA today. According to the current speed, in another four years, he will become the number one shooter in NBA history.But in the minds of O'Neal and everyone else, he is incomparable with Reggie Miller, because Ray Allen's three-pointers are all shot in the regular season. The [-]-point ratio in the playoffs.

In Game 1994 of the Eastern Conference Finals in 1998, the five three-pointers that reversed New York in the fourth quarter were the real three-pointers. Three-pointers, Ray Allen has not shot the same amount of three-pointers in the playoffs.

O'Neal's words are half joking and half serious. He still believes that the inside is king. Sun Zhuo likes to let his teammates shoot three-pointers. Is the Magic stronger with Ray Allen?Not necessarily, but for the Heat, they lost to the Magic this season, and the team really needs to strengthen their strength. It's just that Ray Allen and Wade overlap. It's not easy for the Heat to get Ray Allen.

When the finals are over, Sun Zhuo will also find an opportunity to talk to Ray Allen to see if he can prevent the Celtics from joining the Big Three.

……

After two days of short rest, on June 6th, the Magic and the Lakers ushered in the second game of the Finals.

Although the Magic are currently 0:1 behind, Sun Zhuo is not worried about being taken away by the Lakers 2:0. The Magic are at home, and he does not think the Lakers are strong enough to win two games in a row. In addition, Sun Zhuo has two challenges Cadang insurance, even if the Lakers win by chance, Sun Zhuo can easily change the result.

Before the start of the game, Phil Jackson watched Sun Zhuo's training with deep eyes. Seeing that Sun Zhuo was very relaxed, the Zen master called Kobe over: "Kobe."

"Phil." Kobe stepped forward with the ball.

Phil Jackson said: "Kobe, I suspect that the Magic haven't shown their full strength yet. Sun should have something to rely on. In this game, try to force Sun's unique move."

"Try to play 2:0? That's what I thought. I don't care about any away games or home games." Kobe and Zen Master's thoughts coincided with each other. Kobe tried to scare him, and asked Sun Zhuo to show off all his tricks, and it would be easy to play when he returned to the Lakers' home court. Kobe, who originally planned to win two consecutive away games, will still work hard in this game.

Although Kobe had such thoughts, overall, the Magic had more morale at the beginning of the game. After all, they were at home and trailed 0:1. Everyone was more focused on offense and defense. The Lakers were relatively loose. , was led by the Magic, but was not pulled away.

The Lakers still restricted Sun Zhuo very much in this game. Sun Zhuo tried his best to attract double-teams and give the ball to the outside to shoot three-pointers. Today, his teammates are in good condition. He also began to be apprehensive, and his defense against Sun Zhuo gradually relaxed. At this time, Sun Zhuo took advantage of the situation to score again, and everything seemed to be under Sun Zhuo's control. However, at the beginning of the second half, no one expected it. At this time, Kobe suddenly began to show off.

Kobe first dribbled the ball continuously under the crotch, knocked down Turkoglu one-on-one, and then went to the basket for a dunk, causing Howard to foul and hit 2+1. Then, he scored three consecutive points and directly tied the score. However, the Lakers' offensive It's still not over. Another terrible player of the Lakers, Lamar Odom, is also excited. His two passes at this time really pushed the Magic into the abyss.

Odom has height, jumping and strength. Except for Howard, no one in the Magic team has an advantage in rebounding, and the two are not facing each other. When Odom gets a rebound, he is very threatening, because Odom is not only tall, but also fast, and he is good at dribbling. You can't keep up or break.

After he got the rebound, he didn't need to find a guard, but directly launched a fast break. Since Odom himself also had an offensive threat, the Magic had to focus on him defensively. However, Odom is worthy of being a left-handed magician , He dribbled to the three-point line twice, and then suddenly sent the ball out to help his teammates score.

The Magic experienced such a sharp loss in a short period of time, and all the young players were a bit defeated. Coach Hill specially called a timeout to encourage them, and Sun Zhuo was also on the sidelines to let everyone not be nervous, but it still didn't help.

"Sun doesn't look too nervous now. Isn't he afraid of falling behind 0:2? What is he relying on?" Phil Jackson glanced at Sun Zhuo again. Based on his understanding of Sun Zhuo, he thought that Sun Zhuo I am not too worried that the Magic will fall into a 0:2 situation. However, the current momentum is with the Lakers, and it is indeed difficult for the Magic to catch up.

"Kobe, be careful about Sun." Phil Jackson reminded Kobe.

"I'll defend him myself." Bryant was tired and sweaty, but still motivated.

In the decisive stage, Kobe personally marked Sun Zhuo, and Sun Zhuo was the only one in the Magic team whose mentality did not collapse. The offense would naturally fall on Sun Zhuo. The Lakers thought that Sun Zhuo would have some unexpected abilities. However, Sun Zhuo I didn't do such a miraculous thing, and I still used the same routine as before, looking for opportunities to shoot at the three-point line, or quickly breaking through and throwing shots.

During this time, Sun Zhuolian scored 8 points, but still failed to recover the score, and the series became 0:2.

After the Magic lost the second game, the fans at the scene became very depressed.

"The Los Angeles Lakers feel like a bunch of robbers. They have been robbing things arbitrarily since they came here. When they played in the Western Conference Finals, they have never seen them so fierce? Kobe wants to win the championship, is he crazy? He already has four The championship! Michael retired once when he won three championships."

"The next magic is not good. They were beaten 2-0 by the Lakers at home. According to the 232 game system of the finals, there will be three consecutive home games for the Lakers! Judging from this situation, I am afraid that the Magic will go to Los Angeles this time. There is no return, alas."

Losing the first two games in a row in the finals is actually not terrible. In the previous life, the Miami Heat also lost the first two games of the finals before winning, but there is a world of difference between the current Magic and the Heat in the previous life. What they lost was two away games, and then they played three consecutive home games to come back, while the Magic lost two home games, and they will face three away games. This is definitely a very dangerous signal!

"Oops, I didn't expect the Lakers to win two games in a row at home. Did they play against the Clippers? The Lakers can't tell the difference between home and away games? The next three consecutive away games... no, this game can't be lost, This time I have to challenge again.”

Sun Zhuo's game repeat challenge card is generally used in the last few games of the series, but now a danger signal has been issued. He hopes that the team can continue to play the next three away games in a 1:1 tie.

"I want to re-challenge this game!" Sun Zhuo used a match repeat challenge card to reset the game. After using this challenge card, Sun Zhuo only has one left this season.

……

Going back to the past miraculously again, Sun Zhuo recalled just now how the Magic fans looked helpless and frowning at the current situation of 0:2 behind. You have to accept it, but Sun Zhuo is different, he can change these bad things.

"I just need to contain Kobe's offensive in the third quarter." Sun Zhuo has repeated the challenge for countless times, but he has never lost any repeated challenge, and he is not worried about this one at all.

Therefore, in the first two quarters, Sun Zhuo played a little more easily and did not pursue the ultimate goal. The point difference at the end of the half was only a few points higher than the previous game. Sun Zhuo believed that the key lies in the third quarter. Contain Kobe in the third quarter and this game should be won.

In the third quarter, knowing that Kobe was going to show off his power, Sun Zhuo also defended Kobe himself. Kobe had knocked Turkoglu down with a continuous dribble before, but he never wanted to knock Sun Zhuo down. Kobe beat Sun Zhuo, and Sun Zhuo hit The good cap blocked Kobe's shot, but because the two were very close together and Kobe tended to lose balance in the air, the referee thought that Sun Zhuo had fouled and called Sun Zhuo for a defensive foul!
"What are you doing!" Sun Zhuo was very angry. His defensive ability is not strong at present. It is not easy to block Kobe with such a single defense. It took a lot of effort, but he did not expect to call him a foul?

Kobe made two free throws, Sun Zhuo was unlucky and failed to stop Kobe's first goal in the second half.

However, Sun Zhuo knew that Kobe would shoot three-pointers from the outside, and Sun Zhuo would not let him score two consecutive three-pointers to tie the score like before.

Next, Kobe was really eager to try outside the three-point line, and in the end, he still chose to shoot a three-pointer!

"I guessed it!" When Sun Zhuo was defending, although he was also wary of Kobe's breakthrough, he always focused on his three-point shot. As soon as Kobe made a shot, Sun Zhuo immediately reached out to block it.

The blocking this time greatly disturbed Kobe. When Kobe shot, he obviously adjusted the arc. After Kobe shot, Sun Zhuo was impatient, and this time he did hit Kobe's hand.

Swish!
beep!

With such a difficult three-point shot, Kobe still managed to hit it, and caused Sun Zhuo's foul again, hitting 3+1!

"I'm sorry!" Sun Zhuo's face was extremely embarrassed. He knew that he was going to shoot a three-pointer and gave the biggest interference, but he still made it, and there was an extra free throw!
Sun Zhuo has never played against Kobe with repeated challenge cards. If he were an ordinary person, Sun Zhuo knew what the opponent was doing and put more pressure on the opponent and made it more difficult for the opponent to score.

Today, however, Sun Zhuo repeatedly challenged Kobe. Kobe was different from ordinary people. Sun Zhuo forced Kobe to make his offense more difficult, but Kobe was good at these more difficult offenses!
"It's not good, it's not good..." Sun Zhuo began to worry. The point difference was still caught up by the Lakers. Next, it was Odom's turn for the Lakers to perform. Be careful of Odom's pass.

Sun Zhuo also tried to grab a rebound from Odom, but his position was not as good as Odom's, and Odom still took the rebound and launched a fast break.

"Be careful!" Sun Zhuo pointed to Francis who was on the right side of Odom.

However, after Odom didn't have a chance to pass the ball this time, he chose to shoot a three-pointer, huh!
"I am Cao!"

At this time, not only the confidence of the Magic and others collapsed, but Sun Zhuo's own mentality also exploded. He never expected that he would watch the Lakers show off twice in the third quarter.

Coach Hill called a timeout. Young players like the Magic couldn't stand such a blow. I thought Sun Zhuo had always been calm, but he looked flustered now.

At this time before, Sun Zhuo helped coach Hill to give confidence to his teammates, but this time, Sun Zhuo sat on the bench and didn't say a word.

"Finally seeing Sun Luobai's expression, he should have nothing to rely on." Phil Jackson finally waited for Sun Zhuo's lonely expression, and didn't worry about Sun Zhuo's secret weapon anymore.

Sun Zhuo tried his best to calm down his mood. After all, even if he failed to stop the Lakers from showing off in the third quarter, or even got worse, the game is not over yet, and he still hopes to lead the team to win back.

In the decisive stage, the Lakers' defense against Sun Zhuo became more aggressive. Sun Zhuo remembered Howard's self-confident bragging before the series. After being double-teamed, he sent the ball to him. Domineering, was originally more talented and smarter than the parallel import champion Kwame Brown, but this key attack was extremely simple and obvious, and was cut off by Kwame Brown in advance.

After that, Kobe wanted to attack, but also encountered the same defense as Sun Zhuo. Kobe also gave the ball to Kwame Brown. It was Brown's turn to hit Howard, but the very experienced Brown easily used his best hook , scored the ball.

Watching the game fall into the rhythm of the Lakers again, Sun Zhuo closed his eyes helplessly: "Howard and the others are only suitable for playing downwind. It is impossible to expect them to stand up. I shouldn't have played so kindly in the first two quarters."

Sun Zhuo has never lost in repeated challenges. He is used to winning and winning. This time he challenged again, which gave him a big warning. The game, if you don't challenge it again, you will definitely win.

At the moment of crisis, Sun Zhuo took over the game again, which was also an opportunity for him to exercise and grow. He maintained the score again and again, until the last ten seconds, the two sides were still tied, but.

In the last attack, Kobe faced three fadeaway jumpers and hit a lore!

The Magic once again trailed the Lakers 0:2!

"No!" Sun Zhuo yelled in pain. After seeing Kobe hit the lore, Sun Zhuo squatted on the ground with his head down, as depressed as if he had already lost the championship.

Seeing Sun Zhuo in such pain, his teammates and coaches were also very surprised. Although he will face three away games next, it is not completely hopeless. Why is Sun Zhuo so unacceptable?
No one knows that what Sun Zhuo can't accept is not 0:2, but playing three games and still not being able to win the next game!
"Sun, I'm sorry, I blamed me today..." Howard didn't leave, standing beside Sun Zhuo, stretching out his hand to comfort him.

Sun Zhuo squatted on the floor with his eyes closed for 2 minutes, completely ignoring other people's stares. Suddenly, Sun Zhuo stood up, clenched his fists, and his eyes were like a torch: "Come again!"
