Chapter 422 This Is Fake!
Kobe and Wade also stared at the same time. Before that, they didn't know that the Magic arranged for Sun Zhuo to play the center position.

CCTV, Yu Jia explained: "The starting lineup for the Magic is Jameer Nelson, Monta Ellis, Danny Granger, Turkoglu and Sun Zhuo. Guidance, Sun Zhuo didn’t seem to have played as a center when he was in China, did he?”

Zhang Weiping said: "No, he is positioned as a small forward. He was thin when he was in China. He is not that strong. He has neither height nor weight. He can't play as a center at all. But after arriving in the United States, Sun Zhuo's strength has increased. It’s especially obvious, but even so, playing center feels a bit forced.”

Yu Jiadao: "Magic Johnson seems to have played a guest role as a center in the Finals. If I remember correctly, he scored 42+15."

"Yes, it was still Magic Johnson's rookie season. It was really great, but a magician can't be regarded as a real center. Sun Zhuo is probably the same as the magician this time, just a nominal center." Zhang Weiping was also curious, the Magic What kind of lineup can be formed? Can Sun Zhuo handle Tim Duncan?

At the scene, the arena became extremely quiet. Dwight Howard's foot injury was not healed at all, but he still wore a suit to the scene. Like the audience, they were all looking forward to what Sun Zhuo could do as a center.

Sun Zhuo and Duncan jumped the ball and were at a disadvantage in height, so naturally they didn't win, and the Spurs launched their first attack.

When Tony Parker held the ball, he was obviously two beats slower than usual, thinking to himself: "Is Sun this guy crazy? Really playing center and defending Tim Duncan alone? Okay, I'll let Tim play Blast you!"

Facing such an advantage inside, Parker had no reason not to pass the ball to Duncan, but when Parker wanted to pass it to Duncan, he froze.

I saw Sun Zhuo and Duncan constantly using their bodies to get rid of each other in the low position. Duncan wanted to squeeze Sun Zhuo behind to catch the ball, but Sun Zhuo went around in front of Duncan again and again, pressing Duncan tightly behind him, not letting Duncan catch the ball. catch the ball.

Seeing the scene of the entanglement between the two, James couldn't help feeling: "Sun really worked hard!"

In fact, as a forward player, James has done this kind of thing in his previous life. This scene is like the situation where James and Gasol are desperately fighting for positions.

As a battle-tested inside player, Duncan has fought against countless great and powerful inside players. Now facing Sun Zhuo who is [-] meters tall, he suddenly seemed a bit at a loss, and there was no way to completely suppress Sun Zhuo.

Today's Sun Zhuo's power is at the SS level. Without humility, it is above Duncan and the strongest power level in the entire NBA. I am afraid that only O'Neal at his peak can fight. Duncan wants to use his strength to squeeze Sun Zhuo away. Zhuo, of course it is not so easy to do.

"Damn it, he's so difficult!" Duncan was a little distressed, but he knew that today Sun Zhuo played as a guest center, and the team must attack from his point of view. It's better to fight for the position early and let Sun Zhuo recognize the gap between them, so as not to make Sun Zhuoyue more confident in playing.

So, Duncan also tried his best, and after being squeezed behind by Sun Zhuo again, he squeezed Sun Zhuo away again with all his strength!

boom!
At this moment, Sun Zhuo fell to the ground with a bang, and the referee immediately blew his whistle to punish Duncan for a foul.

The power of Sun Zhuo's SS is definitely not something that Duncan can easily shake. This time, it was just that Sun Zhuo deliberately showed weakness and pretended that he was no match for Duncan. Although Sun Zhuo has the power of SS, he is not that scary in appearance. This is exactly what Sun Zhuo can take advantage of.

"What?" Duncan spread his hands and looked at the referee innocently. In fact, he also knew that the blow just now might have been too forceful. Sun Zhuo might indeed be defeated, but there was definitely an element of acting involved.

"Good job!" Teammates also stepped forward to give Sun Zhuo a high five.

Howard was a little disdainful off the court: "He is an away center, isn't his purpose just to trick Tim Duncan into fouling? I knew he couldn't play the real center position, it was just a routine."

There are not a few people who have the same idea as Howard. After all, Sun Zhuo does have physical disadvantages, and Sun Zhuo has always had a lot of tricks, and he often has some unexpected moves. Even Tony Parker reminded Duncan on the court: "Beware of fouls. , he is not capable of one-on-one with you, he just wants to trick you into fouling."

Duncan nodded. However, Duncan has been playing in the playoffs for so many years, and he is not a vegetarian. Even if Sun Zhuo wants to beat Duncan, Duncan will let Sun Zhuo and him both lose. At that time, the Magic still cannot win.

Next, it was the turn of the Magic to attack. Sun Zhuo is now playing center and no longer takes the initiative to control the ball. Let Monta Ellis and Nelson, two fast point guards, attack the inside. Sun Zhuo stepped forward to give Nelson In the pick-and-roll, Nelson broke through very resolutely, and Sun Zhuo immediately slid down. Nelson quickly distributed the ball to Sun Zhuo, but the Spurs had long been prepared for this kind of cooperation. Sun Zhuo had no chance at all, and was forced to go out again.

At this time, Sun Zhuo has come to the inside position, facing Tim Duncan.

After the ball went out, Sun Zhuo immediately blocked Duncan with his body, and stretched out his hand to ask for the ball.

"Sun is going to single Duncan under the basket!"

Duncan didn't care either, he didn't prevent Sun Zhuo from catching the ball, he wanted to see how Sun Zhuo beat himself!
The ball was passed to Sun Zhuo, and after Sun Zhuo got the ball, he immediately punched Duncan with his back, and Duncan took a step back in shock!
"what?"

Everyone was taken aback!
Howard and Zhang Weiping were frightened because they thought that Sun Zhuo was just playing a center in name. When he was on the court, he didn't do what an orthodox center would do at all, but the way he plays today is what the most standard center does!And only dominant centers like O'Neal and Howard can do it!

Duncan himself was also frightened, because he didn't expect Sun Zhuo's power to be so strong!
Of course, Duncan didn't defend hard just now, thinking that he might have been negligent for a while.

but!

Next, Duncan tried his best to resist Sun Zhuo!
Shocked again!

"What?" Popovich was stunned, and Duncan was shocked out of the position under the basket!
After Sun Zhuozhen drove Duncan away, he immediately turned around and took off for a one-handed dunk!
boom!
Since Sun Zhuo entered the NBA, Sun Zhuo has dunked countless times, and there are many more amazing moves than this one, but none of the previous dunks has scared everyone like today.

"Sun just forcibly knocked Tim Duncan away and completed the dunk? Is this true?"

"This is more than just replacing Dwight Howard? Dwight has never played Tim Duncan like this. This is simply how O'Neal played in 2000!"

"It's fake! It's fake!"

Kobe, Wade, James, and Howard all had shocked expressions at the moment, and they didn't know what to say at all. This was too overbearing.

Kobe said: "Ninety-nine percent of the centers in the league can't make the goal just now."

Wade said: "We have known for a long time that Sun has amazing strength. We should have seen it in WWE matches and fights. Tim Duncan should not have performed. In terms of strength, he is no match for Sun."

James was a little scared: "But if even Tim Duncan can't match Sun, is there any inside player in the league who can stop Sun's goal?"

Wade said with a smile: "Be glad that Sun is only 6 feet 8 inches."

James breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, if Sun Zhuo was ten centimeters taller, then with Sun Zhuo's strength, he would definitely be able to gallop inside. It would be another "big shark", and it was far more versatile than O'Neill. You know, in terms of speed alone, Sun Zhuo is also a top existence in the league.

"It's impossible, how could this be? Tim Duncan couldn't defend Sun when he defended one by one? Or was he dunked so close to the basket, no wonder he is so confident playing center, this guy Sun..." Popovich Qi gritted his teeth with hatred and called a timeout on the spot.

At the scene, people immediately cheered and applauded Sun Zhuo's performance. Some people even changed the name of Sun Zhuo from "MVP" to "MDP".

Only inside players can talk about dominance. Sun Zhuo gave the impression just now that he is like a dominant center!

The Spurs bench.

After Tim Duncan sat down, he said to the coach: "Sun's strength is really terrifying. He can easily repel me. Although I don't want to admit it, his strength is indeed above me and Dwight Howard."

Tony Parker stood there, frowning and puzzled: "But this is too strange, isn't it? Sun's body is obviously not as good as Tim and Dwight Howard, why is the strength above them? Is he..."

"Shut up, Tony, we only discuss how to deal with what has happened on the court, don't think about these things that have nothing to do with the game, not only here, but also after the game, especially when we meet the media." Bo Povich knew what Parker wanted to say. Sun Zhuo's strength made people feel very weird. Parker wondered if Sun Zhuo had taken medicine, although Popovich's strategy made the combination of Sun Zhuo and Howard may face the danger of shattering , but Popovich still doesn't want Sun Zhuo to get into trouble off the court.

The game belongs to the game, and life belongs to life. In order to win the championship, Popovich can use all means on the court, but when it comes to off-court matters, Popovich is unwilling to hurt Sun Zhuo.

Popovich said to Duncan: "You should understand Sun's strength before. He is not as weak as you think, but he is not as strong as you think now. In addition, you have a height advantage and should not be beaten like this by him. .”

Duncan nodded: "I was a little surprised just now, and I won't let him score so easily in the future."

The timeout was very short, and Popovich watched the Spurs players return to the court again, without much worry: "Sun changed to play center, that is, he gave up using three-pointers to try his luck, which is better. With his height, It's going to be tough to stay in the paint all the time, and the game will slowly slip into our hands."

The game restarted, and it was the Spurs' turn to attack again. This time, Parker made a decisive pass, and Duncan was also decisive. Relying on his height advantage, he still got the ball in the low post under Sun Zhuo's strict defense.

Afterwards, Duncan and Sun Zhuo fought back and forth. Sun Zhuo was very powerful and could guarantee that Duncan would not get closer to the basket, but Duncan didn't need to do that either. , turn over and hook immediately!

Swish!
In the ball!

"The height difference is 8 centimeters. Sun Zhuo can't defend this kind of ball at all." Yu Jia shook his head lightly.

Zhang Weiping also said: "Yes, Duncan will fight Sun Zhuo very easily. He doesn't need to repel Sun Zhuo. He can complete the attack under Sun Zhuo's defense. On the contrary, it will be very difficult for Sun Zhuo to fight Duncan, because Sun Zhuo has to push Duncan away before he dares to shoot, and he has to keep calculating the height difference, otherwise he will be blocked."

Just now Sun Zhuo got the ball from a deep position under the basket, and then quickly shook Duncan away to complete the dunk. Knowing Sun Zhuo's strength, the Spurs did not dare to let him get the ball in that position.

So, Sun Zhuo received the ball from a slightly outside position, and after getting the ball, he quickly hit Duncan.

"Sun's relying on hitting and shooting is simply incomprehensible. The Spurs must double-team him at this time!" Kobe knew what Sun Zhuo was relying on when he saw that Sun Zhuo relied on hitting Duncan.

James' thinking is the same as Kobe's. They all know that once Sun Zhuo succeeds in playing, it doesn't matter whether the defender is an outside player or an inside player, no matter how tall the defender is, he will not be able to interfere with his shooting.

How could Popovich not know this?This is also a bit of a headache for Popovich. Originally, Duncan had no problem defending Sun Zhuo one by one, but if Sun Zhuo relied on shooting, he had to let another person double-team.

Bao Wen quickly rushed over to double-team Sun Zhuo.

And at this time, on the other side of the basket, Danny Granger has already flew up and rushed to the basket. Sun Zhuo made a high throw, and Granger succeeded in an alley-oop dunk!
"Beautiful! As long as Sun Zhuo pulls Duncan out, there will be no one under the basket. Danny Granger's talent is quite strong." Yu Jia said.

Zhang Weiping nodded slightly, but said: "The cooperation is good. Both the Spurs and the Magic are scoring now, but the Spurs' scoring can be replicated. They can play like this for every ball, but the Magic's scoring is a bit tricky. If you succeed, it won’t be so easy next time.”

Popovich also didn't take it seriously, "How many combinations have you come up with with Sun as the center? Use them all, Coach Hill."

Playing ball by ball is completely better than defense and stability. The Spurs are not afraid of magic at all.

On the next ball, Sun Zhuo turned his back and passed Duncan in an instant after receiving the ball, and scored two points inside, but in the eyes of Kobe and the three of them, they could no longer see the kind of admiration for Sun Zhuo, but they all showed doubts.

"How long can Sun score like this? It won't be long before Duncan will figure out all of Sun's tricks. How should Sun fight?" James is the same height and strength as Sun Zhuo. Zhuo is the center forward, he is the one who empathizes the most, even he feels that Sun Zhuo can't last long like this, it's too difficult, this is not what Sun Zhuo James should do at all.

Wade said with a smile: "If Sun can beat the Spurs in this way, then he can be called the league's number one center."
