Super Legendary Superstar

After the game, Sun Zhuo invited Yao Ming to his home. Nowadays, the whole country is celebrating Christmas, but for the two Chinese people, Christmas is not an important holiday, so they mainly drink tea and reminisce about the past.

Yao Ming and Sun Zhuo have known each other in the past, but they have a normal relationship with each other, and their situations and past experiences are also very different. In contrast, those who have attended a junior sports school, participated in a basketball summer camp organized by the Sports Bureau, and played in the CBA Yao Ming is more like a Chinese-style player slowly developed by that country, but Sun Zhuo is not.

Yao Ming looked very happy after winning the game. He looked around Sun Zhuo's residence and smiled: "I didn't expect you to be so high-profile in front of the media, but the place where you live is so low-key. I thought you had to rent a mansion. Today Mobley, your opponent, told me in the locker room after the game that you were the most powerful trash talker he had ever seen. I was surprised. When did you learn to talk trash? You learned it from O'Neal. Of?"

Sun Zhuo also looked at his slightly ordinary cabin and said: "I'm going to move to a bigger house soon. You also know that I have become the spokesperson of Adidas. As for trash talking, this is a characteristic of the NBA. We should also follow the Romans, you know?" Do you think as a Chinese, you should be kinder and more humble when playing basketball?"

Yao Ming is an upright person, and Sun Zhuo is worried that Yao Ming will not understand his behavior.

Yao Ming shook his head, "No, it's not easy for Chinese people to play in the NBA. Our skin will be discriminated against. Being weak and kind is meaningless. Everyone has their own characteristics. I didn't know you well enough before. , I didn’t see that you have such a passionate and radiant side, which is good, you don’t need to change. In addition to your personality, I think your basketball skills have also improved a lot. Frankly speaking, when you chose to participate in the NBA draft, I I was worried about whether you would be selected. I didn’t expect that the Los Angeles Lakers would like you, and you are more than just the 24th pick. Can you tell me, how strong are you really? This will affect us next year. The Olympics, this is very important, and I vow never to leak this secret to anyone on the Rockets."

Yao Ming is eager to know Sun Zhuo's true strength, not as an opponent, but as a teammate of the national team.

In August next year, Yao Ming and Sun Zhuo will compete in the Olympic Games as members of the Chinese men's basketball team. Yao Ming obviously attaches great importance to national honor.

Sun Zhuo naturally believed in Yao Ming's character. He also knew that Yao Ming valued his Olympic results very much, even more than his own career achievements.

Facing other people, Sun Zhuo might try some tricks, but facing Yao Ming, Sun Zhuo planned to tell the truth: "Actually, in the Cavaliers game, I was able to hit consecutive hits because of good luck."

Yao Ming looked slightly disappointed. He was disillusioned with Sun Zhuo. He also thought that if Sun Zhuo really had such a strong singles ability, he would have hope for the Olympics.

Yao Ming then smiled and said, "So you have been scaring Mobley from the beginning of today's game, haha. If he knew the truth, he would definitely not let you go."

Sun Zhuo also smiled awkwardly. Mobley really cooperated with him today and gave Sun Zhuo many opportunities to score from the free throw line.

"Yao Ming, although my playing ability is not that strong, by the time I play in the Olympics, my other abilities will have been greatly improved. This Athens Olympics is definitely worth looking forward to! You previously set your goal at the quarterfinals. I think This goal is a bit low." Seeing that Yao Ming was a little disappointed, Sun Zhuo quickly reassured him.

Yao Ming was a little unsure, and he didn't know to what extent Sun Zhuo's so-called improvement of other abilities could be improved.

Yao Ming asked: "Then where do you think we can be in the top? Top four?"

Sun Zhuodao: "Except for the United States and Argentina, I don't think anyone can beat the Chinese team led by us. Even if we meet them, we may not lose. Guess what the goal is for the United States and Argentina? It must be a gold medal, right? Then We have set this goal too!”

After Yao Ming finished chatting with Sun Zhuo, he felt uneasy for a long time. He didn't expect that Sun Zhuo was far more ambitious than him. He was confident of defeating strong teams like Argentina and the United States. He decided to pay close attention to Sun Zhuo next. Competition.

…

After Christmas, time quickly arrived in 2004.

2004 is still a very distant era for Sun Zhuo. He doesn’t feel much about what is happening in the United States. He only remembers that in his previous life he was fascinated by Jay Chou’s "Qili Xiang" and that Mango TV released "Super". "Girls" became a hit all over the country, and now these things are happening again across the ocean, and nothing has changed.

However, Sun Zhuo's NBA has changed.

The voting for the 2004 NBA All-Star Game has begun. This All-Star Game happens to be held in Los Angeles. Everything is very favorable to Sun Zhuo.

Last year, Yao Ming was selected for the All-Star Game as a rookie, and defeated the rising O'Neal to become the starter. This shows how crazy and "irrational" Chinese fans are. Even if Sun Zhuo is not qualified for the All-Star, Chinese netizens will vote for him. Go up, not to mention, Sun Zhuo also showed more explosive ability than Yao Ming.

48 points in a single game!

In addition to Tracy McGrady's 60 points, Sun Zhuo ranked second.

As a result, at the end of January, when the NBA officially announced the All-Star selection list, Sun Zhuo appeared on the list without any suspense, becoming the only rookie selected to the All-Star among the 2003 rookies.

LeBron James is obviously very shocked. He is known as the favored son of heaven and a talented player rarely seen in decades. But now, as the No. 1 pick, he has begun to lag behind Sun Zhuo, who has already entered the All-Star Game. , but James didn't make it.

James began to complain. He did not criticize Sun Zhuo for not being selected for the All-Stars. What he criticized was that the fans should also vote for him. He fully deserves to be an All-Star.

Anthony and Wade also have the same mentality. They are also eager to enter the All-Star Game, but now they are not that popular at all.

After the All-Star voting results came out, Sun Zhuo received a lot of doubts and dissatisfaction just like Yao Ming was selected for the All-Stars last year. Although Sun Zhuo has had several amazing performances this season, he cannot continue to perform like this in every game. Therefore, Artest, the top star of the Indiana Pacers, publicly questioned Sun Zhuo's All-Star status and told the media: "The All-Star Game should not be a place where rookies can come in casually. It's been like this for a year. I've had enough. Not even this kid LeBron James was selected. I really don't know what qualifications Sun has to be selected. Just because he has a good touch and scored 48 points in one game? I don't question Sun's future. He will grow into a very good player in the future, but at least for now, he is not an All-Star."

Artest's words speak to the thoughts of many All-Star players. Almost everyone here has worked hard in the NBA for many years before they are finally qualified to be selected for the All-Star Game. And all of this came too easily for Sun Zhuo. , everyone will be jealous.

The reason why Artest would take the initiative to mention this matter is because of his straightforwardness, and the other reason is that the Pacers are about to play the Lakers.
