Chapter 415 Unblocking!

Sun Zhuo's words really stabilized the morale of the army. Before that, not only the outside world was suspicious, but also within the Magic team. Sun Zhuo asked Howard to continue his previous performance, which showed that he wanted to see Howard continue to perform well. , and don't care about being robbed of the FMVP by Howard.

This sentence made Monta Ellis and others think that Sun Zhuo decided to give up the FMVP competition.

"Boss..." Danny Granger and Ariza had different eyes. They naturally hope to win the championship, but they want to see Sun Zhuo lead the team to win the championship. They are Sun Zhuo's people.

They were all angry for Sun Zhuo, and Danny Granger even showed it on the spot, clenched his fists and his face was stiff.

"Why? Sun Xin worked hard to lead the team for a whole season and helped each of us grow. The final honor will fall on Dwight Howard!"

Although Danny Granger was not fair for Sun Zhuo, but since Sun Zhuo had made up his mind, what could he say as an outsider?

In fact, Sun Zhuo did not give up the FMVP trophy, and he will never give up. Sun Zhuo is determined to be the No.1 basketball player in history. If he wins the championship as the second child, then he is not worthy of being the No. 1 basketball player in history. [-]. It is not worthy to be compared with Michael Jordan. Jordan has six championships and six FMVPs. This is the symbol of status and strength!

However, under the current situation, Sun Zhuo had no choice but to do so.

If Sun Zhuo expresses his attitude now and wants to compete with Howard, it will not only directly hurt his relationship with Howard, but also fall into Popovich's trick.

Last night, Sun Zhuosi thought about it. At first, he thought it was Howard's agent, Fagan, who instigated Howard to compete with him for the FMVP. Howard's 40+ performance, but after listening to Kerry, Feigen also learned that Howard won 40+. Hurrying to San Antonio, at this moment, Sun Zhuo knew that all of this was Popovich's scheme.

"Popovich wants us to fight, first completely block me, prevent me from getting high scores, let Howard suppress me in terms of statistics, and then wait for me to compete with Howard, then they can effortlessly destroyed us."

Popovich’s approach is very bold and successful, because he predicted that Howard and Sun Zhuo, two young players, will pay special attention to these personal honors. Both of them are too young and talented, and they will not think The championship is too rare, they are young and have time to chase, personal honor is more important.

Like Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen, who will soon form the Celtics' Big Three, Paul Pierce won the FMVP in his previous life, and Garnett didn't think much of it, although he is more qualified to win This award, but Garnett is old, he doesn't care about these things anymore.

If Garnett and Pierce, who were the youngest and most at their peak, won the championship together, and Pierce won the FMVP in the end, the result would be absolutely different. Garnett could not be so open-minded, he is the MVP of the regular season!What is Pierce?
Therefore, Sun Zhuo can't follow Popovich's script, and he must not fight among himself for FMVP. However, the statistics still have to go up.

This depends on the repeated challenges of the game. Once a game is played again, Sun Zhuo's shooting percentage, steals, blocks and other data will be greatly improved. He does not need to increase the number of shots to improve the data.

Howard can't say anything about the good data obtained in this situation.

Even, Sun Zhuo could re-challenge the first three games and let Howard not get so many points. It's just that he won two games before, and he didn't want to do that.

……

On June 6, San Antonio, the AT&T Center Arena at home for the Spurs, the fourth game of the Finals.

Half an hour ago, when the Spurs players hadn't entered the field, the morale of all the players seemed a little low. Popovich looked at them and said something to them: "I know you may be blaming me. White Howard was so aggressive in the first three games, they won at our home, it may be a bit of a shock to you, but, you have to believe me, we can't lose this series, they can't win, always The finals start now!"

Popovich didn't know if his words had inspired them. Looking at their state on the court, Popovich felt a little uneasy. No matter what the result of his layout was, the fundamental reason for winning the championship was that they themselves had to perform well. I can't be messed up. Fortunately, the team's Tim Duncan, Parker, and Bowen are quite reassuring to Popovich.

Popovich glanced at Sun Zhuo who was facing him again, and asked him in his heart: "Sun, what are you going to do in this match?"

"Everyone, cheer up and prepare to play, and strive to get the match point today!" Sun Zhuo clapped his hands to encourage the whole team.

Howard also clapped his hands to encourage everyone: "That's right, get the match point today, and solve them in the next game, haha, the championship is waving to us!"

The two leaders, Sun Zhuo and Howard, are so active and excited, which makes Coach Hill feel more gratified. In this case, other role players will also perform well.

Popovich glanced at Coach Hill, but his face showed surprise. In fact, the reason why he dared to arrange such a thing was because he underestimated Coach Hill's inability to reconcile the conflict between Sun Zhuo and Howard.

"Hill absolutely doesn't have this ability." Popovich is very sure about this matter. There are very few coaches in the league who can surpass superstars. Popovich is one of them, but it also depends on the superstar. Popovich may not be able to completely control the personality of Sun Zhuo and Kobe Bryant, let alone Hill.

The game starts soon!
CCTV.

Yu Jia: "Both sides jumped the ball in the middle circle, yo, Howard jumped really high, the Magic jumped to the ball and started to organize the attack, Sun Zhuo took control of the ball and broke through! No, it was still blocked, quickly transferred, the ball was still given to Howard, Howard shot! Duncan defended well and missed the ball."

Zhang Weiping said: "It seems that this match is still the same as the previous three matches. Sun Zhuo's breakthrough limit is very strong, and Sun Zhuo still has no intention of forcing a shot."

Popovich stared at the field thoughtfully, with his left thumb resting on his chin, his index finger against his nose, and secretly said: "Don't Sun still make a move? Or give it to Howard? Is he really not going to get FMVP?"

If Sun Zhuo only wants the championship and not the FMVP, then the Spurs will have a hard time playing.And even if Sun Zhuo is not allowed to win the FMVP in the end, Popovich will not be happy, because what he wants is the championship!
The Magic missed the first attack, and it was the turn of the Spurs to attack next. Sun Zhuo stared at everyone in the Spurs carefully, and he had to remember the Spurs' attack clearly, because he was going to challenge again next time.

Tony Parker dribbled the ball outside the three-point line. Duncan stepped forward to cooperate with Parker. Parker looked a little nervous. He dribbled the ball in a changed direction, and it hit Monta Ellis' calf, and the ball bounced directly to the center. field location.

Yu Jia: "Oh, I made a mistake!"

At this moment, Duncan suddenly made a lunge to save the ball, fell to the ground, and saved the ball back!

"Duncan really worked hard!" Yu Jia sighed.

Zhang Weiping said: "Yes, the outcome of today's game is very important to the Spurs. Once the Spurs lose the game and get the match point by the Magic, they basically have no chance. You know, the last two home games can be very difficult. It's at the Magic."

After Duncan got the ball, he passed it to Parker again. Parker, taking advantage of the excitement of the Magic team and preparing for a fast break, passed a long pass directly to Finley, who dunked from the baseline and scored.

"Oh, the Spurs almost made a mistake in their first attack. It's good. When the game is played again later, we can make good use of it." There may be many differences when the game is played again, but the first goal at the beginning is basically nothing. It has changed, and as long as the Spurs play the established tactics instead of being driven by the rhythm and emotions of the game, they will basically be the same.

The Spurs players are a very disciplined team. The more such a team is, the better it is for Sun Zhuo to play again, because no matter how they change some of the details, they will still return to their system.

The Spurs were in good shape today. After playing for a few minutes, they even scored several goals. The Magic's performance was relatively mediocre, and Howard was obviously more eager for quick success. However, due to his inferior skills and experience, it was difficult for him to perform well in front of Duncan one after another.

At this time, Popovich smiled and said to Sun Zhuo silently: "Sun, you dare not rob, how about I help you?"

In the past three games, the Spurs have been targeting Sun Zhuo. From this moment on, they will change their targets.

"Dwight, don't worry, be steady before you shoot. As long as you can lead the team to win another game, you will be [-]% the FMVP of this year!" Howard's agent Fagan also came to the scene, sitting in the middle, feeling Silently cheer for Howard.

Soon, the Magic missed a long shot from the outside and was grabbed by Howard with an offensive rebound.

"Beautiful! Buckle in! Dwight!" Fegan was very excited. Every time Howard encountered such an opportunity, he would be so excited, because he knew that every goal Howard scored now was worth a thousand dollars. For Howard and him , all so.

Howard was also very excited. Just as he lowered his waist and was about to force himself up, he suddenly found himself surrounded by three people in an instant!

"What?" Not only Howard, everyone in the Magic was taken aback. They actually put up such a defense against Howard?
Howard didn't even dare to move, not to mention dunking. He wanted to dunk, but he didn't intend to pass the ball immediately. As a result, Howard walked away when the whistle sounded.

At this time, Monta Ellis hurried up and said to Howard with some displeasure: "If you are double-teamed, pass the ball quickly, don't hesitate!"

Howard replied with a gloomy face: "I know, I will pass the ball."

At this time, Sun Zhuo glanced at Popovich inadvertently: "Sure enough... After restricting me, are you going to restrict Howard again?"

Sun Zhuo had already guessed that Popovich would have this move, first to completely suppress Sun Zhuo, let Howard's data surpass Sun Zhuo, and become the best candidate for FMVP, and then let Howard be restricted, let Sun Zhuo's data Catch up and threaten Howard.

Just as Sun Zhuo expected, the three-person double-team just now was not a coincidence. The defense Howard encountered was completely different. After a while, even if Howard made mistakes and fouls, if Howard really succeeded in breaking through, he would resolutely use it. Fouls stop him, don't let him score, let him go to the free throw line.

During this period of time, the Magic's offensive efficiency was very poor because of Howard.

Coach Hill had to replace Howard.

After leaving the field, Howard was still very angry: "Why did you replace me? I only fouled twice."

Coach Hill said: "You can't attack like this anymore. You have to pass the ball. Can't you see? They would rather foul than let you score. You can't make free throws at all."

Howard was so angry that he began to be silent.

"Very good. At this time, I can score naturally." Sun Zhuo understood that all of this was Popovich's strategy, but he had to follow suit, because Sun Zhuo's goal was to win the championship + the most effective player in the finals. Value player, these two honors are indispensable.

Howard was targeted, and it is only natural for Sun Zhuo to increase his shots and score more points. No one will blame him, and Howard can't say anything.

On the field, Sun Zhuo tried to play low singles. Seeing someone coming to double-team, he immediately distributed the ball to Monta Ellis in front of him, and then he ran to the corner next to him. He wanted to try to get rid of his opponent as quickly as possible. Shoot threes.

Come to the bottom corner, catch the ball, and shoot instantly!
bang.

The ball misses.

Seeing this, Popovich sneered, "Are you in such a hurry to catch up? Very good, continue, maybe next time."

Howard, who was off the court, anxiously clutched the towel: "Sun too much made a three-pointer, so..."

Howard wanted to say that Sun Zhuo's three-point shot was risky, and no one guaranteed rebounds, but then he thought about it, if Sun Zhuo played like this, if he couldn't make a goal, the statistics would not threaten him. In fact, it was beneficial to Howard.

But Sun Zhuo didn't take the result of the ball seriously at all. Anyway, after this, he will do it again. What he is doing now is trying.

Afterwards, Sun Zhuo caught the ball from outside again, and immediately prepared to jump and shoot. This time, he shook Bo Wen and made him lose his position. As a result, Bo Wen's body quickly leaned back, and Sun Zhuo directly pulled up to shoot the basket and made a hit.

"It's possible to score goals in this way." Sun Zhuo memorized this move.

Sun Zhuo's score is slowly rising, but the way he scores makes Popovich feel a little strange.

"It stands to reason that Sun is now behind Dwight Howard in all aspects of statistics. Now he should take the opportunity to score in the way he is best at. He obviously has many chances to break through and dunk, but he has to choose a more risky way. Moreover, these actions of his seem to have been used before. I haven't seen it before, and the scoring efficiency is indeed mediocre, which proves that he is not sure. How can he still have the mood to experiment at this point in the finals?"
