Chapter 418 Start to grab the FMVP!

The Magic came to San Antonio with a score of 1:1, and even won two games in a row on the road. In one game, Howard exploded, and in the other, Sun Zhuo exploded, causing the stronger Spurs to suffer two consecutive "accidental attacks". This is what no one expected.

Now, the Magic will play the last away game at home with the Spurs, and they only need one victory to win the championship.

The next day, when the Magic players were training, there was no pressure. Monta Ellis had a happy one-on-one with Paul Millsap, and Danny Granger and Trevor Ariza were also competing.

Sun Zhuo and Howard are currently equally likely to win the FMVP, and the atmosphere is not too tense. Howard still has a chance, so he didn't show his face, and greeted Sun Zhuo as usual, but Howard coughed from time to time today, which made Sun Zhuo a little worried: "Dwight, are you okay? Don't be sick at this time."

Howard's complexion wasn't too bad: "It's just a little uncomfortable, it shouldn't be a big deal."

Sun Zhuo nodded, and did not forget to cheer up all his teammates: "Guys, we are only one victory away from the championship. Don't slack off in training these two days, and strive to return to Orlando with the championship trophy!"

"it is good!"

"no problem!"

Everyone also responded one after another, with high fighting spirit.

However, Howard suddenly walked up to Sun Zhuo and asked in a low voice: "Sun, do you really think we can win this series 4:1? The Spurs are so strong. Frankly speaking, I am a little afraid to go 3:1 now." Believe it, are you planning to end it desperately in the fifth game?"

Sun Zhuo replied truthfully: "No, the Spurs will not let us win the championship at their home court. The next game will definitely be difficult, but if there is a chance, of course it is better to end it as soon as possible."

Howard nodded, he understood that what Sun Zhuo said to everyone just now was just to boost morale, and Sun Zhuo didn't think that the fifth game could be won smoothly.

In this case, Howard knew it in his heart.

"The real duel doesn't seem to be in Game [-], it's in Orlando."

……

On June 6, the fifth game of the finals, this is also the last game at home for the Spurs.

Since today may be the last game of the Finals, NBA Commissioner David Stern and Bill Russell have both arrived at the scene, not to mention all media reporters.

Even so, experts and fans still feel that the finals will not end so early. The Spurs are not an opponent who will be defeated 1:4. In the regular season, the Magic were beaten. Many people still think that the Spurs are strong overall After the magic, some people even think that there is no need to worry about the 1:3 situation.

As a perennial excellent team, the Spurs have indeed lived up to everyone's trust in him.

After the defeat in the fourth game, after Popovich talked with everyone, everyone temporarily forgot about the situation in front of them, but looked further away. At the same time, they didn't care about the big score, and now they just want to win In this game, the Spurs can't win only one game in a series, which is too embarrassing.

The Spurs played their excellent cooperation again. Tim Duncan played his superstar qualities. He scored [-] for [-] in the opening game and was in very good condition. Tony Parker is still a point that the Magic cannot solve. On the Magic side, Sun Zhuo and Howard Neither of them looked like they were going to break out. They both knew that the Spurs would stick to it and it would be quite difficult.

Watching the Spurs keep suppressing the Magic, Yu Jia and Zhang Weiping felt that the Magic didn't want to chase them anymore. This is normal psychology. They have already led 3:1, and they are in the opponent's away game. Neither of them can win three games in a row. Besides, for the Magic, it would be a good thing to go home to win the championship and enjoy the cheers of the home fans.

So, Yu Jia chatted with Zhang Weiping, Yu Jia admired Duncan's calmness, and said: "Howard's explosion two days ago, many people said that Howard is already the strongest insider in the league. I think it can be said that he is a talent in the league. The strongest insider, in many respects, Howard is inferior to Duncan, you can see that Duncan unknowingly scored 20 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocked shots, and he is more stable, and he can handle any defense with ease."

Zhang Weiping said: "Yes, in fact, the entire Spurs team is very good. The Spurs can become a strong team for ten years. The important point is that the coach is the first. There are no privileged players. Look at Duncan, he can become a team like Kobe and Sun. He is a star player like Zhuo, but he is often scolded by Popovich in the team. After the scolding, he feels okay and will turn around to tease Popovich. Duncan is so easy to coach, and Popovich can make this team The Spurs will become the strongest team in the league, I think, if Duncan gets old or retires in the future, even if the Spurs management can pick good rookies with a unique vision, even if Popovich can still play this European style It is difficult for the Spurs to guarantee that they will be in the championship competition every year."

Yu Jia deeply agreed: "Tim Duncan is indeed excellent, and the relationship between him and his coaches and teammates is indestructible. On the contrary, the Magic is a little bit worse. Even in normal performances, it feels like Howard and Sun Zhuo Alley-oops or performances together are more tacit, and if the Magic wants to build a dynasty, they still have to learn more from the Spurs."

In fact, in this game, Yu Jia and Zhang Weiping felt that Sun Zhuo and Howard were a little bit different. Fortunately, the Magic can't win this game. If the Magic wins this game, they will immediately decide who belongs to the FMVP. more difficult to control.

As a result, at the end of the fifth game, the Spurs chased 2:3.

In this game, Sun Zhuo scored 24 points, Howard 22 points, rebounds and blocked shots are still dominated by Howard, and Sun Zhuo still has more assists.

After five games, the probability of Sun Zhuo and Howard winning FMVP is still the same.

……

After five games, the Magic and Spurs, including David Stern, Bill Russell and media reporters, also rushed from San Antonio to Orlando non-stop, preparing for the next sixth game.

Although they failed to return to Orlando with the championship in their hands, when they came to Orlando, there were still many fans who picked them up and cheered them on. They scored 2 wins and 1 loss in three consecutive away games, which is already a very good result.

Everyone knows that if they enter the tiebreaker, home and away games will no longer be so important, and everyone predicts that the Magic will go all out to win the championship in the sixth game.

The sixth game will probably be the last battle of this season!
On June 6th, Game 18 of the Finals, Orlando Magic's home court, Magic fans shouted excitedly, and couldn't wait to get their second championship.

The players of the Magic and Spurs are all serious, especially Dwight Howard.

"This may be the last game of the series. Until now, I still have a chance to win the FMVP. As long as this game, my statistics can beat Sun..."

At the beginning of the season, even before the start of the finals, Howard didn't have the ambition and courage to grab the FMVP at all, but Popovich gave him this ambition, and his agent Fagan also gave him the courage, which caused Howard simply became unreasonable. So simple, he no longer just wants to play happy basketball, follow Sun Zhuo to win the championship, and laugh from the sidelines, he wants to be the protagonist.

And Sun Zhuo really wanted to end this series within six games. There was no way, the opponent was too strong. If the Spurs dragged him to the tiebreaker, the Magic would be in danger.

However, although Sun Zhuo and Howard both thought about resolving the battle in six games, the "sixth game" they thought was different.

The sixth game that Howard thinks is the one in front of him, and the sixth game that Sun Zhuo thinks is the one that Sun Zhuo uses the game to repeat the challenge card after this game is over.

In this game, the Spurs will definitely try their best to drag the series to the seventh game, so the probability of the Magic losing is very high, and Sun Zhuo is already ready to use up the last remaining challenge card .

At this time, Sun Zhuo remembered that he still had a special training card, which was useless.

"If there is a game repeat challenge card, there is no need to use the special training card." Sun Zhuo currently has a game repeat challenge card plus 9 special training card fragments. If he can successfully challenge O'Neal's last challenge, he will He could collect two cards, but now Sun Zhuo felt that he would not be able to use them in the finals, so it was useless. If he only used one card, the effect would be too small.

Before the start of the game, everyone was discussing livelyly. Most of the Magic fans wore uniforms, but Kobe and Wade, who were the Lakers and Heat players in the VIP positions on the sidelines, were naturally exceptions.

Kobe glanced at Carey Mulligan beside him, and asked, "Kerry, Sun may be about to win the championship today. Did he tell you where he will take you to play during the offseason after winning the championship? You can't go Too long, me and Dwyane Wade are in Orlando, waiting to practice with Sun."

Kerry smiled sweetly and said, "We didn't plan to go on vacation, but he did tell me that after the finals, he would go out for a few days to deal with some things."

"Going out for a few days? Where are you going? What are you going to do?" Wade and Kobe were puzzled.

Kerry shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

The innocence of Kerry prevented Wade and Kobe from seeing any deception. Wade couldn't help but joked: "It is rumored that he played in a secret league in China. You don't even know what he is doing when he goes out this time. I'm afraid it has something to do with it?"

Kerry was a little overwhelmed, the more embarrassed she was as a woman and didn't know how to respond, the harder she would laugh: "I don't know, I really don't know what you're talking about about the secret league, you all Sun's best brother, if he has any secrets, I think he will tell you guys."

"Haha, I was just kidding, Kerry." Wade smiled.

The game started quickly, and what everyone thought was the last battle, everyone held their breath in the first minute of the game and focused on the changes on the field.

The Spurs launched the first attack, and Sun Zhuo watched carefully so that he could have a chance to play again when he did it again.

However, for the Spurs' first attack, it was Duncan who singled Howard, or an outside shot, which made Sun Zhuo a little sad. I am afraid that if it happens again, this situation will still be unavoidable.

After that, it was the Magic's turn to attack. At this time, the Spurs did not dare to specifically block Sun Zhuo or Howard. Naturally, the defense against them was the heaviest, but it was not as targeted as before.

Sun Zhuo's long-range shot is still not too much of a threat, and he also intends to play this game as a test, and his score increases very slowly, not much different from Howard.

"Sun Zhuo's condition is not good today, this is my chance! The statistics are better than him, and I'm the most valuable player!" Howard was very excited when he saw that Sun Zhuo didn't frantically collect statistics, which made him see hope.

"The rebound is mine!" Howard once again grabbed an offensive rebound from Duncan. His rebound is also a guarantee for the Magic to win or eventually win the championship.

"Dwight!" Sun Zhuo called Howard from behind, wanting him to pass out and organize another attack.

However, Howard didn't listen to Sun Zhuo, and didn't pass to Sun Zhuo or anyone else. After getting the rebound, he directly forced Duncan in singles, but how could Duncan be so easy to deal with?It was immediately capped.

The block was not vicious, Howard got the ball again, and Sun Zhuo called Howard's name again, which reminded Howard of howard, who was still considered a "rookie" in the finals last year, was repeatedly beaten by Sun Zhuo in the finals. Zhuo called his name, and every time he heard Sun Zhuo's voice, Howard would habitually tremble. He was afraid of being accused, afraid of being given such a big responsibility by the team.

At that time, Howard reported to Coach Hill afterwards that he was under a lot of pressure. Coach Hill finally stabilized Howard, allowed Howard to survive, and finally won the championship.

But today, Howard doesn't want to be at the mercy of Sun Zhuo anymore.

"I want to fight myself!" After being blocked, Howard beat Duncan again.

boom!
Howard filled the frame vigorously, but Duncan had been knocked down by Howard, and the referee also called Howard for a foul.

"Is this guy crazy?" Sun Zhuo didn't expect Howard to be so aggressive, but since the two were in a competitive relationship, he didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Turkoglu stepped forward and said to Howard: "Pay attention to fouls, Dwight, don't hit harder."

The failure this time did not stop Howard's aggressive style of play. Seeing that Sun Zhuo's statistics were mediocre today, he was still excited to perform aggressively from offense to defense.

Sun Zhuo also saw all this.

"Howard, I didn't expect you to rob me for the FMVP so blatantly. In the past two years, we have gotten along very well. I brought you to the finals, took you to Jiaozuoren, and played happy basketball with you. I thought you would recognize me. Knowing my role, I didn't expect..."

Sun Zhuo was a little sad, and he didn't know whether he would continue to cooperate with Howard in the future, and how long the two could stay together.

"Howard, just let you fantasize for a while. No matter how many points, rebounds and blocks you score now, it is meaningless. I will destroy it soon."

"I also hope that at the same time, the hatred I have for you at the moment can be destroyed at the same time."
